Principal Lima's Eagle News

This week at DES, we enjoyed the warmer days at the start of the week, and many classes were able to spend extra time outside. We also hosted our Kindergarten Information Night for students joining us in the fall, and it was a great success!

Just a reminder that there is no school for students on March 17 due to a professional development day for teachers.

We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 🌞

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

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

Mr. Kenneth Girouard, Assistant Principal (kgirouard@drregional.org)

The TLC Room spread kindness this Valentine’s season by organizing and fulfilling special Valentine orders. Students worked together to personalize order sheets, carefully prepare each item, and ensure every order included its special message. From sorting to delivery, the TLC students took pride in bringing smiles to others as they handed out the Valentines around the school.

Students in grade 4 who have completed their ST Math puzzles can become part of the JiJi Squad that helps students in younger grades. Here are some pics of the JiJi squad helping 3rd grade students in Ms. Mason's room.

Students in M3 and M5 attended their first “staff meeting” as Footlocker employees during math class. In the staff meeting, they designed a new shoe to be a part of store inventory and then used it as a data point on a whole class line plot. Using the line plot, we had discussions around what shoe size was the most popular, the least popular, which sizes were outliers and what decisions we would have to make as staff members to be sure our inventory was stocked appropriately. This real world application of the skill was fun and engaging and the “staff” and “managers” enjoyed it!
