Thank you to all of the Dale Street parents and guardians who were able to attend Parent/Teacher conferences over the past two weeks. The lines of communication between home and school must always remain open and strong. If at any point during the remainder of the school year you feel that there is an area in your child’s education that needs to be addressed, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher. We strive to do our best to support the academic, social, and emotional development of your child.

On Thursday, members of the Museum of Science visited our school and provided a presentation on Animal Encounters.

On Tuesday, members of our Grade 4 team participated in a lesson study with math consultant, Shephali Fox. Great display of continuous growth and learning!
On a visit to 4Douglas this week, students were using the computer program Nearpod to learn about active and dormant volcanoes. As students were using this program, I overheard, "This is so cool!" multiple times. Fun + Learning!
