Hello Dale Street Community,
I hope that you had a spectacular week - we sure did! There is a lot packed into this week's blog - take a look at some of the awesomeness that students and staff were involved in this week.
There was a lot of excitement at the High School on Tuesday night as 36 Dale Street student teams participated in the MCPE Spelling Bee. All the teams did a fantastic job and their costumes were awesome! Special thanks to the Dale Street teacher volunteers, Jim James for moderating, and the always supportive MCPE for organizing this fun event.

Thank you to everyone who attended last Wednesday's webinar focusing on placement for the 2023-2024 school year. If you were unable to make it to the live presentation, here is a link to the recording. If you would like to view the slide deck that was used during the presentation, you can find that here.
Today, this letter was sent out to Grade 4 families offering parents the opportunity to share information about their child for next year’s placement at Dale Street. The information that you share will be used to assist me with the student placement process for the 2023 – 2024 school year. When corresponding about placement, parents are asked to focus on the type of learning environment that best meets the strengths and needs of their child. Please know that throughout the placement process, our focus will be on placing your child in a classroom in which they will grow both academically and socially. Parent input narratives should be sent in no later than Friday, April 14th. For other suggestions regarding the parent narrative, please see the slide deck link listed above.
This week, students in Mrs. Guiteriez's fourth-grade participated in a Greek Mythology Reading Relay. Students worked on the skill of finding evidence to prove their answers.
Earlier this week, Grade 5 classes took a field trip to Lowell Mills. During their trip, students had opportunities to learn about weaving on a loom, the steps of engineering, child labor laws, how assembly lines work, and the importance of water in helping make the machines run. They also enjoyed a trolley ride, experiments, an engineering challenge, and separating the seeds from the cotton plant. Check out some of the photos...
