FALCON NEWS

Dear DRRHS Community:
Dear DRRHS Students and Families:
Thank you for your participation in family-teacher conferences on Thursday. Our teachers and administrators appreciated meeting and connecting with you, and we hope you felt your time was well-spent. Just in case you missed it on the calendar, please keep in mind that term 1 ends on November 14th, so students needing to submit late work should tend to their outstanding assignments. For the majority of students who are on track, next week's abbreviated school schedule will be a perfect time to make progress on end-of-term projects and assignments.
As always, if there's anything our team can do to improve the students' experience at DR, we want to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Gail DeCecco, Principal
Donald Izzo, Assistant Principal for Grades 10 & 12
Ai-Ling Chang, Assistant Principal for Grades 9 & 11
John Herald, CTE Director

Portrait of a Graduate Committee Members Needed
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
We Are DR Branding Committee Members Needed
Our Career & Technical Education (CTE) Marketing class at DRRHS is working with stakeholders on the ways we can "build our brand" as a district. We also want feedback on communication. Committee members' input will be very helpful in this regard. In addition, it helps our Marketing students obtain relevant experience in working with consumers. To join in on this work, please email our Marketing teacher, Laurene Plourde, lplourde@drregional.org. The deadline is November 8, 2022.
