Dale Street students and staff kicked off Global Giving month this morning with a wonderful, school-wide assembly. This assembly will hopefully inspire students to get involved in our school-wide effort to assist Coalition for Courage. Please consider getting involved.
Mrs. Lowerre's class spent time in the technology lab this week working on a Social Studies webQuest. Great job, girls and boys!
Positive Referrals!!!
These students received a Positive Referral this week for being such positive school citizens. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations to Megan from Ms. Condon's class for winning this year's Angel Run Poster Contest.
This afternoon music teacher, Ms. Oxholm took the Dale Street Chorus to the Thomas Upham House to spread musical cheer to the residents. The Chorus sounded amazing as they sang a series of songs celebrating our country and honoring our veterans. Bravo, boys and girls! Special thanks to the many parent volunteers who helped chaperone the trip.
In November, Dale Street School will celebrate Global Giving. Global Giving is our school’s way to connect to the world around us. The Dale Street community will raise money for a community in Zimbabwe. Students and families will have multiple opportunities to donate to this worthwhile cause. In support of this Global Awareness, the Student Advisory Council is promoting an International Spirit Day. On Friday, November 13th, students and staff will participate in an International Spirit Day. On the 13th, students and staff will have the opportunity to either dress in clothing that reflects their family culture or wear apparel reflecting a nation. As always, participation in spirit day is voluntary.
Parent/teacher conferences are just around the corner. Conferences are a wonderful time to check in with your child's teacher about their academic and social/emotional growth. Conference dates are set for Tuesday, November 10th and Thursday, November 19th. Both days are half days for the students with dismissal at 11:35 AM. Please note that Term I report cards will be sent home on Tuesday, December 22nd.
Congratulations to Victor in Mrs. Bars' class for winning the MCPE "Thank You" basket on Subway night.

I have had some recent conversations with parents concerning afternoon pick-up at Dale Street. I want to remind parents that dismissal out of the classroom is 2:35 PM and most students will not get to the pick-up area until 2:40 PM. To minimize waiting time, I would suggest that parents plan on picking up their child(ren) at 2:40 PM.
