Principal Lima's Eagle News

This week went by quickly, likely due to the shorter week. The hallways are beautifully adorned with Fall decorations and various assignments. Remember, PTO's Trunk or Treat is happening this Sunday! In this week’s newsletter, you’ll find details about the Community Open House that DES will be hosting, along with other upcoming events. As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

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

Hi everyone,

This is Mr. Johnson, Dr. Michaud's student teacher for this quarter. I wanted to say thank you to everyone for having me in the classroom with your children; they were an absolute joy to teach, and I am so glad to have had the opportunity to work with you all. I hope I was able to help the students find some joy in music, as it is one of the things that brings me the most fulfilment in my life. I could not have done as well as I did without Dr Michaud's guidance; he has left a very positive impact on my future career, and I owe him too many thanks for one short paragraph. I am sure you are already aware, but you are all very lucky to have him in your school. He is easily one of the most passionate teachers I have ever met, and an astonishing professional at his craft.

Thank you for this incredible experience!

Mr. Johnson

The bird buck store is looking for volunteers! The bird buck cart will go to classrooms on Fridays and we are looking for some volunteers to help bring the cart to classrooms and help students count their bird bucks and purchase items from the cart. If this is up your alley, sign up today. Please be advised, if volunteering, you need to have a valid CORI on file with the school district.

Dear Families,

We hope this message finds you well. As part of our commitment to maintaining our technology resources, we wanted to inform you about our updated repair fee structure. This will go into effect on October 28, 2024. These fees help us cover the cost of repairs when school-issued devices are damaged due to misuse or carelessness. The fees are divided into three tiers, depending on the extent of the damage:

Level 1- Charger, Cover (top or bottom), Touchpad, Bezel, Hinge

Level 2- Keyboard, Monitor

Level 3- Total Loss/Replacement

We encourage students to handle their devices with care to avoid any damage and the associated costs. If a device does require repair, the appropriate fee will be communicated to you along with the steps to resolve the issue.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support in keeping our technology in great condition!
