STUDENT SCHEDULES
Dear Families,
As we get closer to summer vacation, we are writing with an update regarding teacher assignments and student schedules. We understand that families are eager to learn about new teachers for the upcoming school year, and the district shares in your excitement. During the summer months, school staff and administration continue the important work of building schedules, hiring staff, and assigning new students to classrooms. As a result, your child’s teacher and classroom assignment for the 2023-2024 school year will be released mid-late August, with the exact date to be determined. Once a date has been selected, we will notify families via email and our school website. Additionally, our bus company begins configuring the bus routes in July, and this information will be shared with families via email and posted on our website as soon as they are available. If you have any questions, please reach out to your building administrators.
Sincerely,
Building Administrators
SPORTS PHYSICALS
Students entering 9th grade at D-R in the fall who plan on trying out for interscholastic sports in August must have a current physical on file with the high school nurse (one done within 13 months) in order to tryout. Without this documentation students will not be eligible to tryout. If your student is having an appointment for a physical over the summer with their primary care physician please email the physical to:
ddailey@drregional.org (D-R nurse) or kOleary@drregional.org (D-R athletic trainer).
Any questions please reach out to either Mrs. Dailey or Mr. O'Leary.
