Due to a cancellation of a competitor and only a day's notice, many Dighton-Rehoboth staff members showed up at D.L. Beckwith Middle School to compete against our Unified Bocce team. With the weather playing havoc, the match was moved to the gym. Players had to use their rolling expertise to compensate for the different "fields of play." All in all, it was a spectacular afternoon! #WeAreDR

This year, Ms. Larrivee and Mrs. Faria's second-graders at Palmer River Elementary wrote friendly letters to second-graders at Elmwood School in Hopkinton, MA. This project not only enhanced student engagement in writing, but also provided a valuable opportunity to develop their writing skills and strengthen their ability to ask and answer questions. To conclude the project, students connected virtually connect with their pen pals through a memorable Google Meet session. The joy and excitement radiated from every screen as they got to see their pen pals face-to-face and engage in delightful conversations. Let's celebrate the spirit of collaboration and the joy of learning that this extraordinary project has brought into our classrooms!

We want to thank our staff, students, families, and School Committee for their unyielding support. Our entire DR community is proud of their exceptional efforts and achievements. Congratulations to all! #WeAreDR

April 13, 2023 Dear DRRSD Community, I know this message is late, but after today’s events, I feel that it is important that I reach out to you. First, my heart goes out to the students and families that live in the Maple Street area of Dighton. I know that you have been displaced from your home all evening. I will be sure that our staff is sensitive to this when your children come to school tomorrow. If you need anything, lunches, school supplies, etc., please let us know. Contacting the school's Main Office is likely to be your quickest solution. Secondly, I am grateful to our District Leadership Team who rose to the occasion today. We were given this information about five minutes before the high school dismissed, and we had to make transportation adjustments to ensure that our middle school and elementary school students were not stranded on a bus if they lived in that area. The staff at each middle and elementary school made sure the students were safe. It is likely that we will have quite a bit of media attention tomorrow. I have made it clear to any media contacts that our first priority is the learning environment for our students and staff. We will do everything in our power to insulate the school community from these distractions. Should you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s school’s Main Office or my office. Fortunately vacation is just a few hours away. Take care, Bill Runey Superintendent We Are DR!
