UNIFIED SPORTS...JOIN TODAY!
Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding.
D.L. Beckwith Middle school has joined the Massasoit Leagues Unified Sports program, and this year we have the opportunity to become an independent sport. We will be following the same rules for our other sports teams. Permission forms, physicals, user fees and other forms will be required to participate. We will be playing bocce, basketball and bowling/track and field during the three sports seasons, fall, winter and spring.
Please use this link to sign your child up by Friday, September 30. Practice will begin Monday, October 3 after school until 4:00. Schedules will be given to players at the first practice. Please see Mrs. Jerauld if you have any questions. (Cjerauld@drregional.org)
Also, a huge CONGRATULATIONS to our Beckwith Believers from the 21-22 SY! Special Olympics Massachusetts has declared D.L. Beckwith an official Special Olympics Massachusetts Unified Champion School!

CHROMEBOOK INSURANCE
Accidents happen, that’s why we’ve chosen School Device Coverage to offer an optional device insurance program for our district parents. Here are some benefits to device insurance:
- Coverage for accidental damage, loss, and theft
- No hidden fees, a one-time payment covers the device until the end of the school year
- There are no claims limits, so if your child experiences more than one accidental damage, loss, or theft event, the device is still insured
- If your child’s device needs repair or replacement, the insurance coverage will follow to any loaner device given automatically and at no extra charge
To enroll your device(s), please visit https://schooldevicecoverage.com/signup. Fill out the form on that page, and then click Next to complete your registration.
It takes just a few minutes to purchase insurance coverage.
Thank You!
MYSCHOOLBUCKS INFORMATION
Account payments can be made through MySchoolBucks.com using a debit/credit card or checks at all cafeteria registers. Please make checks payable to “Dighton Rehoboth Regional School District” and include your student’s full name in the memo line.
School meals, both breakfast and lunch, are once again free (see below); however, all students must use the point of sale system to obtain a free lunch. Please encourage your child to remember their lunch pin number because it helps to move along the lunch lines. If a student forgets their pin, then the cafeteria workers need to look it up and this stalls the lunch line.
Students will need to pay for snacks not included with the free meal and this is the reason why a parent would want to put money on their child's account.
FREE SCHOOL MEALS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR!
Universal Free School Meals has been extended in Massachusetts for the 2022-2023 school year! There will be no cost to families for students to receive breakfast and lunch at Beckwith. There is a charge for snacks. Although meals will be available to all students at no cost, we continue to ask all families to complete eligibility paperwork which can be found below. School funding and competitive grants at the state and national level are dependent on accurately capturing our student population, and the completion of this confidential paperwork is important for our school and our district. Please complete form below and return it to BMS. If you need additional assistance, contact the main office.
