We wanted to inform you that we are sharing a parent input form regarding class placements for the upcoming academic year, 2024-2025. Your input is incredibly valuable to us as we embark on the process of organizing classrooms.

While we haven't started the placement process yet, we want to assure you that we'll make every effort to consider your preferences. However, it's important to understand that creating balanced classrooms involves various factors, and we may not be able to accommodate all requests. Please know that we are dedicated to providing the best possible learning environment for every student, and your concerns or requests will be carefully taken into account.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Kindly complete the survey by May 10th 2024 to ensure we have important information about your child. 🙂

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your feedback is important to us.

On Monday the kids were paired up in groups to use their knowledge of measurement conversions to solve six different problems and solve the puzzle.

Grade 4th Dighton Elementary School's recent adventure at Fenway Park for STEM Day. Sponsored by Moderna and Fox 25 Boston Weather, the students engaged in a morning filled with STEM education.

At the event, there were 12 interactive booths covering various subjects such as Science, Math, Technology, Art, Music, and Physical Movement. The students had the opportunity to participate in Lego building contests, test their sports skills, explore robotics, learn about being a DJ, and much more.

Moreover, alongside the engaging STEM activities, the students had a memorable experience watching a baseball game between the Boston Red Sox and the San Francisco Giants.
It was truly an enriching day for our fourth graders.

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.
