Dear D-R Community,
This new era in the D-R schools is off to an amazing start thanks to the support of our towns, families, staff, and, most importantly, our outstanding students! Our new administration has really focused on a PreK - 12+ journey for our students. Our high school is an amazing option to give our students the competitive edge as they head to college, careers, or the military.

In order to define success in our District, we need to update our Mission and Vision. These Strategic Planning documents will chart the course for the future. The first step in that process is to establish a Portrait of a D-R graduate. To be able to shape that vision, we need your feedback.

We are hosting virtual Focus Groups in late February and early March. There are four options to join. While two of them are labeled as families, feel free to join the community sessions or vice versa. Please see the attached flyer which has live links to each session.

We hope you’ll join us at one of them as we need your input! If you have any questions, please contact mblackburn@drregional.org.

Together, we are DR!

Bill Runey

Superintendent

Students 16 years or older are eligible to participate in the annual DRRHS Student Government Blood Drive that will take place on March 10th from 8 am - 2 pm in the small gym. All students need to have a signed permission slip to reserve a time slot. Signups are going on at all lunches with Student Government representatives or after school in Room 108. Please contact Ms. Beckett (kbeckett@drregional.org) with any questions or concerns. All donations enable DR students to unlock scholarship opportunities through the American Red Cross.

Please review the Winter Ball Newsletter for details. The only thing that has changed is the date. Everything else remains the same. If you purchased tickets for 2.4.23 and wish to have your tickets refunded, please email Mr. Cooke at mcooke@drregional.org.

Please buy your tickets early! Tickets are available on UNIPAY. Please allow 3 school days between time of purchase and when your tickets will be available for pick-up during lunch.

FamilyID.com will be opened up for Spring Sports registrations on Wednesday, March 1st and close at midnight Friday, March 31st. User fee payments will be due by Friday, April 14th. If there is a financial hardship, please contact Mr. Kelley. All athletes MUST have an up-to-date physical on file with the nurse prior to participating in a Spring Sport.

All of our games are scheduled on Arbiter Sports. You can search game schedules and pre-purchase tickets on GoFan.co. Our student-athletes appreciate your support.

Ms. Chang offers tutoring on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday after school in the office. Students may drop in for help and take the late bus home.

This is a reminder the Dighton Rehoboth schools will use the Apptegy alerts system for weather-related messages. It is not our plan to use local media outlets. All messages will be sent through Apptegy via text, RoboCall, and email. Apptegy uses the contact information in Aspen. To modify your contact information, please contact the Main Office.
