Principal Lima's Family Newsletter

This week certainly went by quickly, and we can’t believe it is officially fall!

Below, you will find information about DES being a Title I school and what that means for our students and families. We are also excited to begin our Academic Boost program earlier this year, allowing us to offer fall, winter, and spring sessions to provide students with additional academic support throughout the school year.

Families will also be able to view their child’s full assessment release, including Student Growth Percentiles (SGP). A document explaining how to access this information is included below as well.

Next week, we have a couple of fun activities coming up, including Fall Picture Day and PTO Movie Night. Be sure to check the Important Dates section below for dates, times, and additional details.

We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Please stay safe with the unpleasant weather that is forecasted, and we look forward to seeing everyone next week!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

When messaging your child’s teacher through ParentSquare regarding a change in end-of-day dismissal or to report an absence, please be sure to include the DES Front Office in your message as well. Including the office helps ensure that everyone who needs the information is aware of the change and can help make dismissal as safe and smooth as possible. Thank you for helping us keep communication clear and consistent!

Dighton Middle School is proud to offer an in-school Community Closet to support students and families in the Dighton community.

In addition to the Lions Food Bank, which is available every third Saturday, we recognize that families may occasionally need additional support. Our Community Closet provides clothing, hygiene products, food, and other essential items to help meet a variety of needs—from everyday necessities to more significant needs that may arise during challenging times.

Distribution takes place during the first week of each month. If you or your family could benefit from the Community Closet, please complete this form. A member of our team will reach out to you to schedule an appointment and ensure that we can best support your needs.
