Dear Families,

The DR School Committee has begun holding their meetings in our schools across the district. Next week's School Committee Meeting, scheduled for 6:30pm on Tuesday, January 14, will be hosted at Dighton Middle School. During this meeting, Dighton Middle School will be highlighted in the Superintendent's Spotlight, and DES will be celebrated for Mrs. Perry's class for winning the "Name the Snowplow" contest for Mass DOT. We hope to see you there!

As many of you know, there was a house fire in Dighton this week that impacted a DES family. If you are able to help support the family as they navigate this unimaginable situation, please use this link. Thank you in advance for any support you may be able to give to one of our own.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope this message finds you well. Please be advised that PreK will be closed during the week of February 24, 2025, to accommodate new PreK screenings for the 2025/2026 school year. PreK will resume on March 3, 2025.

This closure ensures that we can dedicate the necessary time and attention to evaluating and welcoming our incoming students.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to us.

Thank you for your continued support.
