Beckwith Families! We want to say a HUGE “Thank you!” to our students, staff, and donors for this incredible Beckwith Middle fundraiser (Boosterthon).

💲We raised $6,500 for busing for field trips and enrichment programs. This will directly impact our students and staff!

🥳We celebrated our community coming together and created unforgettable memories at our Beckwith Middle Color Run today.

Thank you for your support of our school. We’re grateful for our Beckwith community!

P.S. Giving will remain open for one more week until Friday, June 21st. If you’d like to continue to give and share, head to MYBOOSTER.COM today.

Please use this link to sign your rising 6th, 7th or 8th grader up for Fall 2024 Sports. These include Girls' Soccer, Boys' Soccer and Cross Country. Please remember, and remind your student, that they are students first, athletes second. In order to remain on a school team and be able to play, their primary responsibility is behavior and academic performance in school.

Dear BMS Community,

I am writing to inform you that BMS held a Fire Drill at 8:30 a.m. this past Wednesday (June 12th) as a safety measure to ensure that all staff members and students could successfully practice responding to such a critical incident should a fire ever occur in our school. We are required to hold at least four fire drills in a school year per state law. This was our fourth and last fire drill of the school year.

We conduct these fire drills to ensure that our staff and students know what to do in the event of a fire so that everyone is educated and prepared.

The Rehoboth Fire Department monitored the building to assess how well we performed this drill as a school and were once again pleased with our response.

Please note that we went over the school's safety protocols with the students during the first week of school.

I thank you for supporting our efforts to keep students and staff safe. If you have any questions regarding fire drills or our safety procedures, please do not hesitate to contact me at sdonovan@drregional.org or 508-252-5080.

Together We Are DR!

Stephen Donovan, Ed.D.

BMS Principal

With temperatures rising and humidity increasing the nurse is seeing many students who are coming in with symptoms related to this, such as headaches and lightheadedness. Please see that your child comes to school with a re-fillable water bottle that they can refill at the water station throughout the day. This will help keep them hydrated and well enough to remain in the classroom. Thank you so much for your cooperation in this matter.

The Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District has recently made a community connection with Community & Social Services | Old Colony YMCA. Their Family Resource Center is available to both Dighton and Rehoboth families and has much to offer in the form of support. Please feel free to check out all that they have to offer by using the previous links, or accessing their May Calendar.

We have partnered with Clothes Bin to maintain a clothes and shoes recycling bin on the Beckwith Campus. They collect, manage, and distribute clothes, shoes, and textiles. If you have any clothes or shoes that could be recycled, please feel free to drop it in the bin which is located at the far end of the parking lot. Beckwith Middle School receives funds for donated contents. To learn more about Clothes Bin, please CLICK HERE.

The DRRHS Theatre Company is excited to announce that open auditions will be held for their fall production of The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. Auditions are open to any district students who will be in grades 7-12 during the 2024-25 school year. For information about this exciting opportunity, please email the director, Mrs. LaSalle, at elasalle@drregional.org.

We are preparing for the 2024-2025 school year and request that, if you have not done so yet, you complete this survey form concerning transportation for your child for next school year. While the choice is yours, we encourage you to consider using the busses provided by the district as this allows children to arrive to school on time and return home in a timely manner. In addition, using the bus system helps to alleviate the congestion on Route 44, keeping the roadway open to general traffic and emergency vehicles. We do need this form completed for each child you have at Beckwith, even if they will be transferring to another school in September. Please complete this survey by May 20, 2024. Thank you.

The Kindness Task force brings you the YOU UPLIFT Kindness eWall. Students, staff and families will now be able to spread kindness and positive messages. Simply use this link, scroll to the bottom of the screen and submit your message. A staff member will approve all messages before they are displayed on our new Touchview (donated by the Rehoboth PTSA) in the cafeteria. It's that simple!

The Kindness Task Force looks forward to continuing to bring positivity within the Beckwith School Community!

1. Keep your Chromebook on a flat surface like a table or a desk. (Don't leave it on the floor where someone could step on it.)
   

2. Don't pile things on top of your Chromebook..

3. Keep the Chromebook in the case. Do not take it out of the case.

4. Make sure there isn't anything on the keyboard when you close your Chromebook.
   
5. Keep food and drinks away from your Chromebook and make sure your hands are clean. (Crumbs and liquids are very bad for your Chromebook and can cause it to stop working properly.)
   
6. Be careful how you carry your Chromebook. Make sure your Chromebook is closed, always use two hands or zipper your case, and never carry your Chromebook by the screen or open case.
   
7. Keep it charged fully at home. Plug it in when you are not using it so that it will be charged and ready when you need it.
   
8. Tell your teacher right away if it breaks and report to the main office. Don't try to fix it yourself.
   
9. Remember to take care of yourself online too. Stay on approved websites, keep your password private, and log off when you're done. Remember anything that happens under your account is your responsibility.
   

Account payments can be made through MySchoolBucks.com using a debit/credit card or electronic check. We will also be accepting cash and check payments (CHECK ONLY at Beckwith Middle) at all cafeteria registers. Please make checks payable to “Dighton Rehoboth Regional School District” and include your student’s full name in the memo line.

School meals are once again free (see above); however, all students must use the point of sale system to obtain a free lunch. Please encourage your child to remember their lunch pin number because it helps to move along the lunch lines. If a student forgets their pin, then the cafeteria workers need to look it up and this stalls the lunch line.

Students will need to pay for snacks not included with the free meal and this is the reason why a parent would want to put money on their child's account.

Thank you for calling when your child is going to be absent. Please be aware that these are not excused absences, but they prevent you from receiving an automated call from the district.

School attendance and punctuality are closely correlated with success at school. Time in class cannot be replicated by simply giving the absent student the work that was missed. Frequent absences can leave gaps in a student’s education that can affect them for years to come. For more information on Attendances and Absences, please review the Student Handbook.

Please call into the 24/7 Absence Line by the start of the school day (8:15 a.m.) to report your student's absence. Leave a message that states the name of your child and why they will be absent. To reach the absence line call 508-252-5080 and press 1. Alternatively, you may also email the Main Office at bmsattendance@drregional.org by 8:15 a.m. This email address can be used to report your student's absence as well as to report a tardy or dismissal.

Families of students who are marked as having an unexcused absence and who do not call the Absence Line or email the aforementioned email address by 8:15 a.m. will receive a phone call, text message, and email notification from the District to inform them of the student absence. The message will prompt families to call the Main Office to confirm the absence as soon as possible. The timing of the notification will be 9:15 a.m.

All absences are considered unexcused with the exception of the following: student medical appointment/illness/quarantine (with a doctor’s note), bereavement, family emergencies, observance of major religious holidays, weather so inclement as to endanger the health of the child, court appearance, out of school suspension, disability-related absences, and unique circumstances approved at the Principal’s discretion. In instances of chronic or irregular absence reportedly due to illness, the school administration may request a physician's statement certifying such absences to be justifiable.

Please arrange for doctor's notes to be sent to the Main Office via Fax Number at 508-252-5082 or via email at bmsattendance@drregional.org
