The Dublin City School District lives our Better Together value through actively involving parents, families, and the wider community in the educational process. We encourage partnerships with local organizations, businesses, and individuals who can contribute resources, expertise, and mentorship opportunities.  We embrace collaboration and strong community ties to enhance the educational experience and create a sense of shared responsibility.

The district has seven district-level standing engagement committees and numerous building-level parent events.  For the 2023-24 school year, the district will launch a new, six-series DCS University event.  DCS U, held at Emerald Campus, will provide community-wide programming, with both district and community experts, to engage students, parents, and community members on important issues in education.

The district continues to embrace technology as a tool to enhance learning and prepare students for the future. We provide equitable access to devices, digital resources, and internet connectivity. Our staff fosters digital literacy skills and teaches responsible and ethical use of technology.  With increasing concerns about the role of social media in our children’s mental health, we must engage in reflective dialogue with parents about personal devices. With cell phones ubiquitous in our middle and high schools, and growing numbers in our elementary buildings, keeping students safe on social media isn’t just a school responsibility – it takes all of us.  Best practices aren’t good enough – we must be better.
