Principal Lima's Eagle News

This four-day week certainly flew by, especially with the fun and excitement of St. Patrick’s Day! We hope some of our students had a little luck trying to catch that sneaky leprechaun—it sounds like he may have been just a step ahead!

While students were busy enjoying the festivities, our staff took part in meaningful professional development, continuing to learn and grow together to better support our students.

With the first day of spring officially here, we are so excited for brighter, sunnier, and warmer days ahead. 🌷☀️

As we continue through the school year, we also want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of consistent student attendance. Being in school each day supports not only academic growth, but also helps students stay connected to their classroom community and routines. We understand that family vacations are important and meaningful experiences, and when possible, we kindly ask that they be planned during scheduled school breaks. Absences during the school year can lead to missed instruction that is difficult to fully make up, even with additional support.

Be sure to check out this week’s updates below, and we hope you all have 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)

Dear Families,

We hope this message finds you well. As part of our commitment to maintaining our technology resources, we wanted to inform you about our updated repair fee structure. These fees help us cover the cost of repairs when school-issued devices are damaged due to misuse or carelessness. The fees are divided into three tiers, depending on the extent of the damage:

Level 1: Charger, Cover (top or bottom), Touchpad, etc

Level 2: Keyboard, Monitor

Level 3: Total Loss/Replacement

We encourage students to handle their devices with care to avoid any damage and the associated costs. If a device does require repair, the appropriate fee will be communicated to you along with the steps to resolve the issue.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support in keeping our technology in great condition!
