Kindergarten celebrated 100 days in K with Superintendent Runey.

Students in first grade had fun Monday during their 100th Day Fashion Show.

Thanks to Mrs. Gustafson, students in Grades 3 and 4 had a virtual meet and greet with Children’s Author Terry Lynn Johnson. Students got to learn about her “why” and even had the opportunity to ask her some questions of their own.

The winners of the Peace Poster Contest at DES are........... Charlotte Schifone and Bailey Fontaine

Our district received some positive coverage in this week’s Boston Globe regarding our approach to advanced coursework. The article (CLICK HERE) alludes to how DRiving Toward 2030 facilitates how we are shaping a culture of excellence and recognizes our commitment to meeting students where they are while providing opportunities for academic growth and success. Our district is mentioned near the end, highlighted in green.

Our expanded advanced math offerings in Grades 7 and 8 have been well-received by our students and families. This initiative is not only helping our college-bound students position themselves more competitively but also empowers our dedicated teachers to more effectively differentiate instruction, close learning gaps, and support individual skill development for all students.

We are also pleased that the Globe highlighted our Grade 8 Algebra pilot at DRRHS this coming September.

In an era where many districts are reducing ability grouping, our structured approach ensures that we ignite the learning of students of all readiness and help them receive the appropriate challenge and support they need to thrive. The article underscores the importance of this work and reflects positively on our district's commitment to both academic excellence and instructional effectiveness.
