Principal Lima's Eagle News

Can you believe it's already been two full weeks? This week, students dove into their new grade level material while taking advantage of the lovely weather at recess. Just a reminder: the Dighton PTO is hosting a movie night tonight featuring "Inside Out 2." This event has been moved to DMS gymnasium due to the weather. In the coming weeks, we will also conduct our first Safety Drill in partnership with the Dighton Police and Dighton Fire. This week's newsletter includes details about our Early Literacy Screenings and important reminders regarding parent drop-off and pick-up. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

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

The bird buck store is looking for volunteers! The bird buck cart will go to classrooms on Fridays and we are looking for some volunteers to help bring the cart to classrooms and help students count their bird bucks and purchase items from the cart. If this is up your alley, sign up today. Please be advised, if volunteering, you need to have a valid CORI on file with the school district.

I would like to take a minute to introduce Joseph Johnson who will be student teaching with me this year. Please find his introduction below.

Hello everyone, my name is Joseph Johnson, and I will be student teaching with Dr. Brian Michaud this semester! I’m grateful to be a part of this community, and I look forward to having all of your children in class. Some information about me; I am a Music Education major at Rhode Island College with a concentration in vocals. I also love playing guitar and piano in and out of the classroom! I’ve been playing and performing music for about 10 years now, and I’m working towards the goal of being a teacher in my own classroom someday soon!

Students in Mrs. Grillo's grade 4 classroom worked in small groups to practice their place value skills. This week the students were working hard to master reading, writing, rounding and comparing numbers into the millions!

As a gentle reminder, smart watches are considered electronic devices, and we kindly ask that if your child has one, please ensure they are not recording, calling, or taking pictures during the school day.

If a student is found using any type of smart device or electronic device during school hours, they will be asked to place it in their backpack, and the teacher will notify the parent accordingly.

For more information, the electronic policy for the school district can be found HERE.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the principal, Mrs. Lima, at 508-669-4245.
