I hope that you all had a super week - we sure did! Take a minute to check out some of the amazing moments that took place at Dale Street this week.
On a visit to Ms. DiPesa's class this week, students were involved in a creative assignment. The assignment....What app best describes you? This may be a great dinnertime conversation question:-)

| Special thanks to Cassidy in Miss Hayes' class for reading our first book recommendation this morning. Cassidy recommended The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. Cassidy rated this book 5 stars because "it shows how someone can transform personalities." |
Students in Ms. Isaacson's class were able to test drive MCPE's donated whiteboard tables this week during math centers. The sign they work......a student's comment "Math is so fun!"
Today, students in Mr. Mason's class studied shadows outside to begin the Earth and Sun unit. The students tried to predict where their shadow would be every couple of hours. What a fun leaning activity!
Parents should have received an email this week from medfieldpublicschools@email.
We had an awesome kickoff to the Dale Street makerspace this week. Students worked collaboratively to become more familiar with this AWESOME environment!
Please check out the PTO Update which contains important information about volunteer opportunities, fundraisers and details about the upcoming PTO meeting on 9/13.
Although it didn't bring the home team luck this time, Dale Street students and staff looked great in their support on Thursday.

4th Grade Physicals
The State of Massachusetts requires that schools have a current physical on file for all students entering Grade 4. If you have not already done so, please send a copy of a physical exam, completed within the past 12 months, to the nurse’s office.
Medications at School
Students who require any medication (prescription or over the counter) during school or at school sponsored activities, must provide authorization from their health care provider and a parent. The medication must be sent to school in an original, properly labeled container. Loose pills in baggies cannot be accepted. Pharmacies will provide an extra container for school if requested. For the safety of all students, medications must be kept in the nurse’s office and dispensed by the nurse, unless other arrangements have been made. Please call the nurse’s office with any questions or to obtain a form. Forms may also be found at www.medfield.net under Pupil Services. The school physician provides us with an order to administer Tylenol and/or Advil/Motrin if needed, with parental consent. These are the only medications that we can administer without a health care provider’s authorization.
When to Keep Your Child Home from School?
Please be sure to let us know if your child is injured, especially if he or she is using crutches or has incurred a head injury. It is important for us to know if they have limited mobility, to discuss safety information and to make a plan for emergency evacuations. Head injuries may necessitate a concussion accommodation plan.
Thank you for helping to keep our students and the school environment healthy. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns at kthompson@email.medfield.net or 508-242-8573.

When to Keep Your Child Home from School?
- If your child is ill, please keep him/her at home to avoid exposing other students and staff.
- Any child with a temperature of 100 degrees or higher, a persistent cough, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or any other contagious condition should be kept at home.
Students may return to school:
- After they have been on an antibiotic for 24 hours for conditions such as Strep Throat.
- After they have been without a fever for 24 hours (without taking fever reducing medication).
- When they have not vomited or had diarrhea for 12-24 hours and have resumed a normal diet.
- When they feel well enough to be in school for a full day.
Please help us to keep your children healthy by reminding them to:
- Eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of fluids.
- Please encourage your child to eat breakfast in the morning and remember to bring a water bottle to school each day to keep well hydrated.
- Get plenty of rest.
- Dress appropriately for the weather conditions.
- Wash their hands frequently to decrease the spread of germs, especially before eating and after using the restroom. Hand sanitizers can also be used.
- Practice good hygiene by covering their nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, disposing of their tissues in the trash and washing their hands. Alternatively, when a tissue is not readily available, students should be coughing/sneezing into their sleeves, not hands, to minimize the spread of germs.
Please be sure to let us know if your child is injured, especially if he or she is using crutches or has incurred a head injury. It is important for us to know if they have limited mobility, to discuss safety information and to make a plan for emergency evacuations. Head injuries may necessitate a concussion accommodation plan.
