Students in Grade 4 at Dighton Elementary enjoyed their annual Kite Day ! The weather was perfect for flying kites, making it a wonderful day filled with excitement, laughter, and smiles. This special tradition is always a favorite among students and a great way to celebrate the season together. Even SRO Bennett and Officer Swartz joined in the fun with students, helping to highlight the strong and continuing relationship between our school and the community.🪁💚💛💛 #WeAreDR #EIS #DT2030

Related arts classes, or "specials," are an essential part of a well-rounded education! At PRES, our students look forward to attending art, music, physical education, library, STEAM, and computer skills each week. These experiences give them the opportunity to explore their interests, discover new talents, and engage in learning beyond the traditional classroom.

Students thrive when they can learn in different environments and through different modalities. Whether they’re creating in art, moving in PE, coding in computer class, reading about faraway places in library, or exploring new ideas in STEAM, each setting supports unique ways of thinking and understanding. Related arts classes not only spark creativity and curiosity, but they also help students build confidence, collaboration skills, and a lifelong love of learning.

Today, our Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School Early College students had an incredible opportunity to attend the StARS (Student Arts and Research Symposium) conference at Bridgewater State University.

Throughout the day, students engaged in presentations and lightning rounds while also interviewing undergraduate and graduate students about their research projects. This immersive experience gave our students a firsthand look at the rigor and depth of college-level work, as well as the wide range of academic pathways available to them.

What stood out most was the impression our students left! BSU professors specifically noted how thoughtful, engaged, and professional our students were through their questions and overall comportment. A true reflection of what it means to be a Falcon!

Experiences like this embody our commitment to Empower, Ignite, and Shape the future of our students through meaningful, real-world learning opportunities.

Our fifth graders at Dighton Middle School teamed up with partners to take on an engaging science escape room challenge. This interactive activity wove together a variety of concepts they’ve explored throughout the year, giving students a fun and meaningful way to revisit key concepts. It was an exciting opportunity to reinforce their knowledge and build confidence as they prepare for the upcoming Grade 5 Science MCAS assessment. #WeAreDR, #DT2030, #EIS

Dighton Elementary School students have truly enjoyed the new ACE program offerings this year, which have created additional opportunities for students to connect, explore interests, and build skills beyond the traditional school day. One popular club has been Fitness is Fun with Ms. Corvi, where students engage in healthy, active experiences while having fun with their peers.

This opportunity aligns directly with our strategic plan by supporting the development of the whole child through wellness, engagement, and positive school experiences. Programs like ACE help foster a strong sense of belonging, encourage healthy habits, and provide enriching activities that strengthen students socially, emotionally, and physically. Through offerings like Fitness is Fun, we continue to create an environment where students are excited to learn, grow, and thrive.

We love seeing the connections being built in our school community! 💚💛

SRO Bennett has truly enjoyed being part of our morning announcements, and last week she made a special visit to Mrs. Waddicor’s fourth grade class and students were so excited to have her join them!

You can often find SRO Bennett spending time with students during lunches and recess, building positive relationships and being a familiar, friendly presence throughout the building.

This is a wonderful example of community involvement in our schools and the strong partnership we share with the Dighton Police Department. #WeAreDR #EIS #DT2030
