DMS Delivers
September 26, 2025
Dear DMS Families,
It has been another wonderful week at Dighton Middle School! Our students and staff have been busy reviewing expectations, building positive rapport, making new friendships, and getting to know one another. Classrooms are buzzing with energy, and learning is underway! We are so proud of the way our Falcons are settling into routines, supporting one another, and helping to create a positive and welcoming school community.
We would also like to extend a warm invitation to our DMS families to join us for Open House on Thursday, September 17th at 6:00 PM. We look forward to welcoming families into our school, sharing what our students will be learning this year, and continuing to build strong partnerships between home and school. Your partnership is an important part of helping our Falcons soar!
We are excited to celebrate our Falcon Pride on Friday, Sept. 18th, “Together, We Are All Falcons!” Day! We encourage all students and staff to show their DMS spirit by wearing Green and Gold as we come together to celebrate Dighton Middle School and that we are ALL FALCONS .
Go Falcons! 💚💛...Together, we SOAR! 💚💛
With Falcon Pride,
Dr. Cheryl Leandro, Principal cleandro@drregional.org
Mr. Sean Kinney, Assistant Principal skinney@drregional.org
School Meals and Cafeteria Information
We are pleased to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students each school day. Our goal is to ensure that every child has access to nutritious meals that support their health, well-being, and success at school.
Weekly menus will be shared in our weekly newsletter to help families plan ahead.
Although meals are provided at no cost, milk and water are available for purchase each day for students who would like an additional beverage with their lunch.
As the school year gets underway, we will gradually introduce snack sales in the cafeteria.
Families may use cash or check for snack and beverage purchases. We also encourage families to consider MySchoolBucks, a convenient way to manage meal accounts. Through the MySchoolBucks website or app, families can create or manage an account, reset passwords, view balances, and add funds directly to their child’s account.
Finally, we kindly ask all families to complete the Free & Reduced Lunch Application, even though meals are provided free of charge. The information collected through these applications plays an important role in determining school funding and eligibility for valuable grant opportunities, which directly support our students and school community.
We appreciate your partnership in helping us make sure every student has access to the meals and resources they need to have a successful school day.
The Free & Reduced Lunch Application is linked below for your convenience.
Registration is now open for our Unified Bocce Team. Bocce offers a wonderful opportunity for students of all skill levels—no prior experience is necessary. Athletes and partners participate side by side, building lasting connections while developing teamwork, sportsmanship, and active habits.
If your child is interested in participating in this rewarding experience, please complete this sign-up form by September 18th. Students will walk supervised to the bocce courts behind the Lion's Pavilion, next door to town hall.
Season Schedule:
First practice September 24th
Season Dates to be determined by Special Olympics
Parents are welcome to watch their student(s) play at the Bocce courts. Expected pick-up time will be 3:30 p.m. There will be a $200 participation fee which will cover your child's participation in any Unified Sports Program (Bocce, Bowling and Basketball) throughout the year.
If you have any questions please reach out to Jennifer deMatos at jdematos@drregional.org or 508-669-4200 x. 2304. We look forward to a fantastic season!
