Principal Lima's Eagle News

What an exciting week it has been! We are thrilled to share that our DES Spotlight Night, Spring Chorus Concert, and Field Day were all fantastic successes, showcasing the incredible talent and spirit of our students. With only five school days remaining before summer break, time is sure to fly by! To make the most of these last few days, we will be giving each student their "Bucket of Fun" to bring home on Friday, June 20th—an exciting way to celebrate and enjoy the upcoming summer. If you have any questions or need further information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you for your continued support and partnership!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Katelyn Lima, Principal (klima@drregional.org)

Medication Pick -Up

If your child takes medication at school (EpiPen, inhaler, oral medication), please make arrangements with Mrs. Alberto to pick up your medication at the end of the year. Oral medications cannot be sent home on the bus for safety reasons.

Medication Orders School Year 2025-2026

The school nurse can administer any medication that your child may need during the school day, including oral medication, Epi Pens, inhalers ect. All medication requires an order from the physician and guardian consent in order for the school nurse to administer, including over-the-counter medication (eye drops, cough drops, ect.). Medications can only be accepted in a container labeled from the pharmacy. For safety reasons, medications must be dropped off by an adult and cannot be transported on the bus. A new medication order is needed each school year. Please contact Mrs. Alberto if your child will need medication administered at school next year.

Medical Requirements for Students Going Into 4th Grade:

Every student entering fourth grade is required to have an updated physical form on file prior to entering the 4th grade. This physical can be completed within the last year (physicals from September 2024 to present are valid). Please send in the documentation to your school nurse. Regulation 105 CMR 200.00: Physical examination of school children

Students in Grades 1–4 enjoyed their Field Day on Thursday, while our Kindergarten students had their turn on Friday. Both days were filled with fun, teamwork, and lots of smiles! Thank you Mrs. Corvi for a fun filled day.

From Mrs. Corvi:

A HUGE thank you to all the amazing parent volunteers who helped make Field Day a success!
The kids had an absolute blast, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your time, energy, and enthusiasm. I truly appreciate your support and hope to see you again next year!

Wishing you a relaxing and joyful summer!
