DMS Delivers

Dear DMS Families,

🎉 Get Ready for DRRHS Green and Gold Night! 🎉

Mark your calendars, because Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School’s Green and Gold Night is happening on Thursday, October 30th from 6–8 PM! This exciting, open house is your chance to discover everything DRRHS has to offer. Families and students will explore a wide range of course offerings, dive into Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, and learn about the many ways to get involved and truly immerse yourself in the Falcon experience.

Please note this is a scheduled event, so be sure to arrive a few minutes before 6:00 PM to make the most of your evening!

But that’s not all — we’re also thrilled to announce that Principal Demers, along with one of the assistant principals and several DRRHS students, will be visiting DMS on Monday, October 28th to share firsthand what makes DRRHS such an incredible place to learn and grow.

We want to take this opportunity to remind families that DMS students are more than welcome to return to DMS to watch their friends play soccer/baseball/softball. However, they should take their regularly scheduled transportation home and return for the game if they would like to watch.

Games do not begin until 3:15/3:30 p.m., and school staff is not always after school to monitor students between the end of the day and the game. With that, it is important to note that school staff is also not always in attendance at soccer/softball/baseball games, so it is recommended that students come to the game with an adult.

Be sure to stop by and see students Mackenzie Cloutier and Ayla Martin at DR High School this Saturday from 10am -2pm for the first annual car show. The girls will be present with their race cars. Mackenzie and Ayla race in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire. They will be participating in a national race in North Carolina this upcoming November. Both girls are the leading female rookie drivers in terms of point standings in their respective divisions from Massachusetts.

Bloom Bus Co. has asked us to let you know that students must be out at bus stops ten minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Students cannot wait inside the house, or on the porch, etc. They must be out at the bus stop. Being in position when the bus arrives keeps the district on schedule.
