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

Students in grade two dressed as their favorite famous person and got to share facts about them with families.

Students were "high fived" by the DPD this morning for the last time this year.

Today, students in grade 4 had their promotional ceremony and picnic. It was a beautiful day honoring our students as we wish them luck next year in middle school.

Every Friday we will be sharing a healthy recipe with nutritional facts that students can make at home. We will also be sharing a fitness challenge for students to try over the weekend.

Parents/Guardians can come and watch Field Day but you must stay behind the designated line, just as we do for Fun Run.

On behalf of the Dighton PTO, we want to say thank you to you all for making this an amazing year for our Fun Run Fundraiser! We went above and beyond our goal of $25,000.00! We were also able to get all 50 states! Here are the final results of what Dighton Elementary School brought in for our fundraiser! Thank you to you all for making this happen!
