Dear Families,
As usual, we had lots of fun this week. Last Saturday night brought lots of Palmer River students and their special grown-ups to DRRHS for the PTSA's annual "You and Me" Dance! Students played basketball in the open gym, enjoyed snacks and treats from the snack bar, and danced the night away with friends and family. We also celebrated "Kindness Week." Students showed kindness to others in our school community in a variety of ways. Great job to Brooke and Ben (PRES 4th graders) who want to make sure our school community is filled with kindness and helped plan this themed week. On Valentine's Day, many students shared valentine cards with classmates, and teachers planned themed activities that were both fun and educational for students. Our kindergarten and first grade enjoyed a live concert on Friday with the Toe Jam Puppet Band. Finally, we rounded out our Kindness Week with a visit from our community partners, the Rehoboth Police Department for High Five Friday. Overall, it was a great week!
We hope you have a wonderful school vacation week! If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out anytime. We are happy to help.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kristine Kefor, Principal

We NEED YOU!!!
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!
