Remote Learning Through Dighton-Rehoboth Schools

Dear Dighton-Rehoboth Families,

With Governor Baker’s orders to further school closures until May 4, 2020, we are working with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Schools (DESE) to improve our extended learning program. Throughout the initial weeks of this crisis, our educational community has prioritized the health, safety, and wellness of students, families, educators, and staff. At the same time, along with districts and schools across the Commonwealth, we have been providing a remote learning experience for our students and families.

Today, we received initial guidance regarding remote learning from DESE that we have begun to review. Tomorrow, we have multiple conference calls with representatives from DESE where we hope to pose questions that clarify the guidance received today. With this information, we will be working to strengthen our extended learning plan in collaboration with administrators and teachers. Once developed, we will inform all stakeholders of the changes and/or additions to our current plan.

Remote learning cannot replace students’ experiences in school communities with their teachers, administrators, and support staff. Understandably students and educators sorely miss learning in person as part of a community. That said, we must all pull together – parents and caregivers, students, the community, and of course our educators and staff – to help students continue their learning over this extended period.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns please reach out.

Sincerely,
Dr. Azar
