STUDENT SCHEDULES

Dear Families,


As we get closer to summer vacation, we are writing with an update regarding teacher assignments and student schedules. We understand that families are eager to learn about new teachers for the upcoming school year, and the district shares in your excitement. During the summer months, school staff and administration continue the important work of building schedules, hiring staff, and assigning new students to classrooms. As a result, your child’s teacher and classroom assignment for the 2023-2024 school year will be released mid-late August, with the exact date to be determined. Once a date has been selected, we will notify families via email and our school website. Additionally, our bus company begins configuring the bus routes in July, and this information will be shared with families via email and posted on our website as soon as they are available. If you have any questions, please reach out to your building administrators.


Sincerely,


Building Administrators


SPORTS PHYSICALS

Students entering 9th grade at D-R in the fall who plan on trying out for interscholastic sports in August must have a current physical on file with the high school nurse (one done within 13 months) in order to tryout. Without this documentation students will not be eligible to tryout. If your student is having an appointment for a physical over the summer with their primary care physician please email the physical to:


ddailey@drregional.org (D-R nurse) or kOleary@drregional.org (D-R athletic trainer).


Any questions please reach out to either Mrs. Dailey or Mr. O'Leary.

NURSE'S NOTES

Vaccinations/state-mandated requirements needed for 7th grade students AND 6th grade students entering 7th grade in the fall: Tdap booster, 2nd Varicella (chicken pox) vaccine, Meningitis vaccine


A current physical is also required for entrance to 7th grade. As always, if your student is involved in inter-scholastic sports a physical is needed EVERY year. Physical forms and proof of immunization can be emailed to cmondor@drregional.org

COMMON SENSE SCHOOL

I am happy to report that Beckwith Middle School has been approved as a Common Sense School! A special thank you to Mrs. Fernandes, our Librarian, for obtaining this designation!


We believe that digital citizenship skills have become essential for students in the 21st century. That's why we are committed to teaching our students how to be digital learners, leaders, and citizens.

For kids, digital life is real life. It's where they build friendships, take a stand on issues, and do so much more. Encourage kids and their families to reflect on their media habits and build digital citizenship skills with this collection of articles, videos, printable handouts, conversation starters, ready-made workshops, and more.
