Dear DRBS Families,
Thank you to all families who continue to support the many learning opportunities and events taking place at the school. It has been wonderful to see the enthusiasm from students as we move into the final week before Spring Break.
Student Learning Conferences
A reminder that online Student Learning Conferences are taking place today and in-person conferences will be held on Friday, March 20 from 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM. These conferences are an important opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher and discuss their progress, strengths, and learning goals.
Scholastic Book Fair
Next week is Book Fair Week! Students will have opportunities to visit the fair throughout the week. The Book Fair is always a wonderful way to encourage a love of reading while supporting our school library.

Jump Rope for heart
Heading into our final week of fundraising, our school community has now raised an amazing $7,695 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. With one week to go, we are hoping to reach the milestone of $8000; four times our original goal! Our final Jump Rope for Heart Day will be March 19th, where we will celebrate our fundraising success with some fun jumping activities and hand out prizes in recognition of our top fundraising students. If you and your child are interested in joining the cause and starting a fundraiser page as we head into our final week, see the link below. Single donations can also be made through the same link.
