Principal Lima's Eagle News

This week at DES was filled with excitement and fun! Students enjoyed engaging activities each day, and during lunch, we watched the castle quest story unfold. Mrs. Reed's class delivered another fantastic Fables play on Thursday, and we wrapped up the week with our highly anticipated Fun Run.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated—because of your generosity, we raised $25,000! These funds will support future events and field trips for our students.

We also want to thank the Dighton PTO for making this event a success. Be sure to check out the upcoming events listed below, as we have plenty of exciting activities before the end of the year.

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

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

Mrs. Christina McGourty, Assistant Principal (cmcgourty@drregional.org)

Medication Pick -Up

If your child takes medication at school (EpiPen, inhaler, oral medication), please make arrangements with Mrs. Alberto to pick up your medication at the end of the year. Oral medications cannot be sent home on the bus for safety reasons.

Medication Orders School Year 2025-2026

The school nurse can administer any medication that your child may need during the school day, including oral medication, Epi Pens, inhalers ect. All medication requires an order from the physician and guardian consent in order for the school nurse to administer, including over-the-counter medication (eye drops, cough drops, ect.). Medications can only be accepted in a container labeled from the pharmacy. For safety reasons, medications must be dropped off by an adult and cannot be transported on the bus. A new medication order is needed each school year. Please contact Mrs. Alberto if your child will need medication administered at school next year.

Medical Requirements for Students Going Into 4th Grade:

Every student entering fourth grade is required to have an updated physical form on file prior to entering the 4th grade. This physical can be completed within the last year (physicals from September 2024 to present are valid). Please send in the documentation to your school nurse. Regulation 105 CMR 200.00: Physical examination of school children

Grade 3 had fun on the Duck Boats last week. Even the teachers got to drive the boats.

Students in grade 2 were treated to a Dance Party for winning one of the Booster Incentives this week. Mrs. Grillo's got to Duct Tape Hank the Tank to a chair and Mr. Trochio's class completed a secret treasure hunt.
