Medication Pick -Up
If your child takes medication at school (EpiPen, inhaler, oral medication), please make arrangements with Mrs. Alberto to pick up your medication at the end of the year. Oral medications cannot be sent home on the bus for safety reasons.
Medication Orders School Year 2024-2025
The school nurse can administer any medication that your child may need during the school day, including oral medication, Epi Pens, inhalers ect. All medication requires an order from the physician and guardian consent in order for the school nurse to administer, including over-the-counter medication (eye drops, cough drops, ect.). Medications can only be accepted in a container labeled from the pharmacy. For safety reasons, medications must be dropped off by an adult and cannot be transported on the bus. A new medication order is needed each school year. Please contact Mrs. Alberto if your child will need medication administered at school next year.
Medical Requirements for Students in 4th Grade:
Every student entering fourth grade is required to have an updated physical form on file prior to entering the 4th grade. This physical can be completed within the last year (physicals from September 2023 to present are valid). Please send in the documentation to your school nurse. Regulation 105 CMR 200.00: Physical examination of school children

"Egg-citing" news in kindergarten... we have chicks! 🐣
Over the past few weeks, students have been completing a daily egg calendar, observing charts that show the chick growth within an egg and carefully monitoring the temperature and humidity in our incubator. Earlier this week, our chicks finally hatched! Here are a few pictures of friends in Mrs. Campbell's room enjoying long awaited time with the precious chicks!
Students in K are also raising butterflies 🦋 stay tuned for pictures from release day.
Recorder Incredibelt Awards
Students in 4th grade began learning how to play the recorder in November of this year. Some took to this instrument and soared! At DES we have a program called Recorder Karate. On their journey to black belt, students learn nine songs of increasing difficulty. Once a student achieves their black belt, they can continue learning and earn their 2nd through 10th degrees (2 songs for each degree). If that is not enough, students can continue to earn their bronze, silver and gold belts (3 songs each). For those who want to go beyond that, we have the Incredibly. The Incredibelt involves learning a song of Dr. Michaud's choosing based on an individual's ability and performance style.
This year, we had three students achieve their Incredibelts. Congratulations to Jack Rodrigues, Liam Bettencourt, and Olivia Leandres!
