Physical Education class
In Physical Education classes this fall, students were given the options of soccer skills and drills, flag football skills, and drills or walking for fitness. Soccer skills that were focused on were dribbling, trapping, passing, and shooting. Flag Football skills that were worked on were throwing, catching, route running, person-to-person, and zone defense. Students who choose the Walking for Fitness unit/option were required to walk or jog while having their heart rate in their target heart rate zone(THRZ). Students used an "instapulse" to check to see if they were in their THRZ. In late fall Physical Education Units will be Personal fitness planning and development, Bowling, and Volleyball Skills.
Portrait of a Graduate Committee Members Needed
Portrait of a Graduate: We are looking for students, family, and faculty/staff volunteers to join a Portrait of a Graduate creation committee.
What: We are working to create a “Portrait of a Graduate'' (PoG) for the Dighton Rehoboth Regional School District. A Portrait of a Graduate acts as a North Star to help families, students, community members, faculty, staff, and administrators stay focused on what we want all Dighton Rehoboth students to know and be able to do when they graduate after a PK - 12+ journey. The committee we are forming will work with DRRSD leaders, as well as coaches from Great Schools Partnership, to help to shepherd the process of creating the Portrait of a Graduate using feedback from across our community. This will be the springboard to strategic planning during the 2023-2024 school year.
Who? You! We are working to ensure we have community, student, and faculty/staff voice on the PoG committee.
When? We are hoping to launch this team by the end of November or beginning of December, and we will engage in the process of creating the PoG throughout the 2022-23 school year, culminating in the introduction of the PoG as a districtwide vision and tool for the 2023-24 school year.
How do I get involved? Just send an email with the subject: Portrait of a Graduate to Michele D. Blackburn, mdblackburn@drregional.org. The deadline is November 8, 2022.We Are DR Branding Committee Members Needed

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PTO
Happy Friday DMS families and Staff,
Attached, please find our monthly newsletter and flyers for our upcoming events. We have a lot of fun things in the works, and would love to see more parents and staff help with some of those events.
We are also looking for someone to join the Executive Board! We currently have an open position for Treasurer, and need that special someone. Please email us if you have questions about the position, would like to nominate yourself, or know someone that would be the perfect addition.
Our 12 Days of Cheer calendar raffle is underway! Printed copies should have come home with your students already. You can make as many copies as you need, and for a paperless option you can also pay through your P4SS account for any amount of calendars. They are $10 each, and include five amazing prizes per day for children and adults. These calendars are open to anyone, so share them with friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, etc. For every 6 calendars your student sells they will be entered into a drawing to win an Amazon gift card.
We are also looking for volunteers for our 4th grade step-up and yearbook committees, family bingo night, and donations for bake sales. Please find the links to sign-up on our newsletter. Without our amazing volunteers these events would not be possible! We hope to see you soon!
