LAST DAY

July 22, 2026

Dear Dighton Families,

Today is the last day to contribute to this phase of planning for the future of Dighton Elementary School, and your voice can help shape what comes next.

The Dighton Elementary Community Survey will remain available through tonight, July 22.

If you live in Dighton, we encourage you to take just a few minutes to share your priorities. The survey is not asking residents to choose a building or become experts in school design. Instead, it asks what matters most to you as the School Building Committee prepares to recommend a Preferred Schematic Design to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA).

Together, we are DR!

Superintendent of Schools
