Principal Lima's Family Newsletter

Happy Friday, Falcon Families!
Can you believe we’ve already completed our first full week of school? Our students are in full learning mode and settling into their daily routines and expectations. Each day, we’ve seen improvements in bus dismissal and transitions between activities as everyone continues to adjust to the new school year.
It was only fitting that we ended our week with our first Green and Gold Day, celebrating our school spirit and reminding us that we are all one Falcon Family! 💚💛🦅
Below, you’ll find photos from today, along with upcoming events and important information to keep you connected to all the exciting things happening at DES.
We hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing weekend! Go Falcons! 💚💛
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Community Closet at DMS
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.
