Principal Lima's Eagle News

This week, we were thrilled to welcome our PreK students and are excited to have everyone from PreK to grade 4 back with us! Learning is in full swing, and it's hard to believe we've already completed our first full week. A big thank you to all the families who helped us turn the school green today in celebration of DR Pride. In this week's newsletter, you'll find information about upcoming events, important dates, and some great pictures from the week. As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Sincerely,

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

Today, students received their Golden Tickets with their Feinstein Student Cards. Being a part of the Feinstein Foundation has brought the school over $20,000 for student activities, assemblies, supplies, and incentives. Details explaining how to know if you won, what you won, and what you can receive as a Feinstein student are below.

Today we had students and staff wear their Green and Gold for DR Pride. We also conducted our bus evacuations. Of course our very own DES Eagle showed up for the fun. 💚💛🦅

Congratulations to our very own Taylin Oman, Grade 1, whose artwork was chosen for the cover of "A Day at the Zoo" which is part of the "Me and My Family Book Series". Thank you to all our students who participated and Congratulations Taylin!

Dear Parents/Guardians....

We ended last year with over 250 books not returned and they are listed as LOST in our system. Many of the titles are "popular" ones that get a lot of checkouts. Overdue notices have been sent home as a reminder with any students who have books listed as lost/not returned. Please be on the lookout for any Dighton Elementary library books that may be in your home.

Thank you!

Mrs. Gustafson

Dear Parent/Guardian,

The Dighton – Rehoboth School Health Services program supports student academic success by promoting health in the school setting. One way that we provide care for your child is by performing the health screenings as mandated by the State of Massachusetts. Screenings are not a diagnostic tool, but rather a means of identifying potential problems that can affect a child’s performance in school. The following health screenings will start next week and will continue throughout the school year:

• Vision –Grades Pre K - 4th grade

• Hearing – Grades Pre K- 3rd grade

• Growth and Development - (height and weight) – Grades 1 and 4

If your child is tested, and the results are not in the “normal” range for the vision and hearing screen, you will be notified by letter. If you receive a letter, it is recommended that you take your child to a doctor or healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation.

• If you want your child to participate in the screenings for his/her grade, no further action is required.

• If you do not want your child to participate in any or all of the screenings, please send a letter to the school nurse. This request must be written each year and be specific to which screening(s) you would like your child to opt out of participating.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the school nurse, Mrs. Alberto,
