Principal Lima's Eagle News
Dear Families and Students,
Can you believe school begins in just over a week? While there’s still plenty of time to soak up the summer, I wanted to be sure you have all the key information to start the year off smoothly.
In case you missed the announcement, we’re excited to welcome our new Assistant Principal, Mr. Kenneth Girouard. He will officially joined us full-time on August 11th, and we can’t wait to begin the year with him on our team.
Please also make note of an important change to afternoon parent pick-up procedures this year. To help reduce congestion and ensure safety, we will be returning to a system where parents park and enter the school to pick up their students. You can find all the details below.
As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to the main office. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Katelyn Lima, Principal (klima@drregional.org)
Mr. Kenneth Girouard, Assistant Principal (kgirouard@drregional.org)

My name is Lisa Rickey, I am going to be a paraprofessional at DES this coming year. I have an incredible amount of passion when it comes to helping each child grow and learn. Outside of the school year I work with the Boys and Girls Club of Pawtucket at Camp Ramsbottom in Rehoboth. Working in these environments where I am capable of providing the support that children need to flourish is the most fulfilling job I could imagine!

DES Rock Garden Project – First Day Activity
We are excited to announce a special project to kick off the school year! On the first day of school, we invite each student to bring a rock they have painted to represent something they like or something that is important to them.
These unique rocks will come together to create our very own DES Rock Garden – a colorful display celebrating the individuality, creativity, and spirit of all our students.
We can’t wait to see your creations and watch our rock garden grow!
New Parent Pick-Up Process:
Parents should park and enter the building through the gymnasium doors. Doors will be opened at 3:10pm. Inside, locate the table marked with your student’s last name. Please have a photo ID ready, as it may be requested for verification. This process ensures that every student is released only to an approved adult and helps us maintain a safe, orderly dismissal.
Morning drop-off will remain the same.
We know this is a change, but our priority is the safety of every student. Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation as we adjust to this new system over the first few weeks. Once you’ve signed your student out, they may leave with the designated adult.
Bus Routes and Information
Bus routes and schedules will be posted on our school website on August 26th, as soon as we receive them from Bloom Bus Company. Please stay tuned and check the site for updates!

These resources help ensure that every student starts the school year feeling prepared and confident.
