Principal Lima's Eagle News

Bus evacuations today went very smoothly—thank you to the Dighton Police for helping ensure our students are safe during an emergency. This week flew by at DES, and it finally feels like fall! Our students were so excited to receive their Feinstein Golden Tickets, so be sure to hold on to them. If your child’s number is drawn, DES will be awarded $2,000, and your child will have the special opportunity to donate $500 to a charity of their choice in their name.

We’ve also officially launched ParentSquare for teacher-to-parent communication. If you haven’t signed up yet, you’ll find more information and a link below to get started.

Be sure to check out the rest of the newsletter for upcoming events and important updates. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

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

Mr. Kenneth Girouard, Assistant Principal (kgirouard@drregional.org)

We have been working in our earth science unit the last few days and the kids have been loving. Today they built 3D models of the earth using our tinker tubs. They used non-fiction text features to label their model and everyone rocked it!!!

Students practiced bus evacuations this morning and did an excellent job with the support of the Dighton Police Department.

In celebration of International Dot Day on 9/15/25…All students in grades 1-4 read the book THE DOT by Peter Reynolds in library with Mrs Gustafson, and then discussed taking risks and building confidence in hard tasks. Each student, then was able to create their own DOT to make their mark.
**The painting of Vashti was made by DRHS art teacher, Alexa Hamelin, in collaboration with our celebration**

Dighton Elementary now uses ParentSquare for school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each staff member, teacher and parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage all to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.

Here’s what you can do with ParentSquare:

• Receive messages from the school via email, text or app notification
• Communicate in your preferred language
• Comment on school postings to engage with your school community
• Direct message teachers and staff
• Participate in group messages
• Sign up for parent-teacher conferences

Feinstein Tickets were passed out this week along with the Feinstein Jr. Scholar Club cards.
