Principal Lima's Eagle News

What a wonderful week at DES! We took time to celebrate our incredible staff and show our appreciation for Mrs. Alberto on School Nurse Appreciation Day. Our 4th graders had a blast at the Red Sox game on Thursday, and the weather was perfect! Looking ahead, our 3rd graders will be completing their Math MCAS tests next Tuesday and Wednesday. We hope you all have a fantastic weekend, and a very Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to the main office if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

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

Students at DES have been noticing pictures of JiJi around the school, and excitement is building! We're excited to share that DES has received a grant for ST Math, which will be incorporated into all grade levels next year. Some classrooms had the opportunity to try out ST Math this spring, and both teachers and students love JiJi.

ST Math is a visual, game-based supplemental program for PreK-8 that promotes deep conceptual understanding through engaging problem-solving activities. To learn more about ST Math and explore sample activities for different grade levels, please use the link below.

Staff showed their District Pride this week by wearing their DReam shirts

Grade 4 attended their annual Fenway trip. DES Students were even picked to throw the first pitch and start the game by saying "Play Ball".
