Principal Lima's Eagle News

This week, our third-grade students completed their ELA MCAS assessments without any issues. Next week, the fourth graders will be taking their ELA MCAS on Tuesday and Wednesday. Additionally, we celebrated Assistant Principal Week, and we want to extend our gratitude to Mrs. McGourty for her dedication and hard work every day. We look forward to seeing everyone at the DES PTO Prom tomorrow at the high school. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all a fantastic weekend!

Sincerely,

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

We are excited to introduce a special guest in our school community—Daniel the Dinosaur! Mrs. Nunes will be bringing Daniel to visit different classrooms, and we believe he will be a wonderful opportunity to facilitate conversations about autism.

Daniel is a unique dinosaur with autism, and he has his own set of likes and dislikes. As he travels around the school, we encourage everyone to think about the role autism plays in our lives. What challenges have you faced, and what strengths have you gained? Reflect on the individuals who have supported you along this journey and consider sharing insights with those who may be just beginning or currently struggling.

Thank you to Mrs. Nunes, and we look forward to seeing Daniel spread kindness and awareness throughout our school!

This week the kiddos in Mrs. Grillo's class worked on classifying quadrilaterals and triangles by their sides and angles as well as creating and analyzing symmetrical pictures or shapes.
