To Our School Librarians: Thank you for always encouraging your students to read. From curating collections to providing research assistance and fostering a love of reading, you play an essential role in our school community. On this Librarian Appreciation Day, we want to express our gratitude and appreciation for all that you do. Your dedication to connecting us with information and inspiration is an inspiration in itself. So once again, thank you for your hard work and commitment to our students. #WeAreDR.
This week is National Assistant Principals Appreciation Week. We are honored to have such dedicated APs who play a crucial role in the success of our schools. They provide support and guidance to both teachers and students, assist with administrative duties, and help to create a safe and positive learning environment.
National Assistant Principals Appreciation Week is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate their hard work and commitment to education. By acknowledging their contributions, we can show our appreciation for the critical role they play in shaping our schools and the future of our students. To celebrate their efforts, we will be highlighting the incredible work of our amazing team members across all levels of education, from elementary to high school.
Starting tomorrow, we will kick off the celebrations by honoring the exceptional work of our elementary team. Throughout the week, we will share a post for every level, and we invite you to join us in celebrating our team and the outstanding work that they do. #WeAreDR

The timing of tomorrow's forecasted snowstorm is right during our morning commute. Out of an abundance of caution, I am canceling school for Tuesday, February 28. I hope everyone enjoys the snow day, especially the high school seniors, and remains safe. Thank you! We Are DR!
Bill Runey, Superintendent.
We took our #WeAreDR message on the road today to the #Stonehill College Employment Fair! We had interest from several education majors and college students who want to join us ASAP as substitute teachers. #WeAreDR 💚💛
When administrators, teachers, school counselors and other mental health professionals collaborate, our Dighton-Rehoboth students succeed!

This post is about two of the amazing aspects of our high school: our Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs and giving spirit of our students. One of our seniors, Jack, wanted to make our new Superintendent, Bill Runey, feel welcomed, so he worked with the teachers in Carpentry and Advanced Manufacturing to create this beautifully framed (and autographed 😊) DR Falcons mirror.
Our CTE programs give our students the competitive advantage no matter whether they are bound for college, careers, or the military! Thank you to the CTE teachers, Mr. Gouveia, Mr. Arnold, and Mr. Calvin for giving Jack the supports to turn his kindness into a tangible sign that We Are DR!
Join us for the high school’s Green & Gold Night open house at 6pm on January 19 to see even more evidence of how great our high school is!
The DRRHS Best Buddies held their Cookie exchange get together tonight. Holiday music played while students socialized and exchanged cookies. Such a great night!
The Dighton Rehoboth Regional School District is proud to announce that the Dighton-Rehoboth High School Field Hockey team is the October 2022 recipient of the We Are DRiven to Serve award for Community Service.
The Dighton Rehoboth Girls’ Field Hockey team, composed of 27 players, is being recognized for the We Are DRiven to Serve award for Community Service because during September (childhood cancer awareness month), the team organized and hosted a bake sale and donated the profits to the Izzy Foundation.Since 2011, this national foundation, based in Providence, has provided support to families dealing with pediatric cancer.
Coach Meghan Marcotte said, “We know that many families have children who are battling cancer, and that researchers are still searching for a cure for cancer. In addition, many families utilize the Izzy Room at Hasbro Children’s Hospital while their children are being treated.”
“Of the many tragedies in our world today, pediatric cancer is one of the most difficult. The child and their family are robbed of so many special moments. Our Field Hockey team’s commitment to the Izzy Foundation is a way to help comfort those families in true We Are DR fashion,” offered Superintendent Bill Runey.
The DRRHS Field Hockey team has a special connection with the Izzy Foundation. Emma Wheeler, a DR alumni, played field hockey and was in treatment at Hasbro Children’s Hospital the same time as Izzy. Each year, the team tries to put together a fundraiser to raise money for childhood cancer research and the Izzy Foundation.
