Hello Dale Street! 

It has been an amazing week at #beproudbedale, both indoors and outdoors. The weather has been great and the autumn foliage has been terrific. Inside Dale, we had some wonderful activities that I wanted to share with you. Please take a moment to scroll through to catch a glimpse of the excitement and stay updated on important information.

As a reminder, Tuesday, October 31st is an early release day for staff professional development. Dale Street students will be dismissed at 11:40 a.m. Morning breakfast will not be served on this day. Please remember to update your child's School Dismissal Manager if they will be dismissed to a different location than usual. Thank you!

Congratulations to this week's Positive Referrals! 


This week in World Language with Señora LeVangie grade five students presented their country books this week. Students researched a country and created a book in Book Creator as part of their Hispanic Heritage unit.

Halloween at Dale Street

The Dale Street staff enjoys making Halloween a safe, exciting, and consistent experience for all students.  On Tuesday, October 31st, all of our classrooms:

  • encourage all students to dress up in their costumes.  Please note that students’ faces may not be covered with a mask, hood, or other items. Please do not allow your child to bring fake weapons into school to accompany their costume, and particularly violent themes should be avoided.  Additionally, please leave face paint at home.    
  • will have Halloween-themed activities.  Activities will be teacher-directed and run throughout the morning.  The classroom teacher will reach out to head room parents if support is needed.  
  • will have a 'Party in a Bag'.  Please have your child decorate (if they wish) or simply print their name on a brown paper bag. Please send in the brown bag on October 31st, filled with a few of your child’s favorite food items. Some examples are: juice box or mini water bottle, small salty snack, fun sweet snack (cupcake, cookie), additional items could be a piece of fruit, a small yogurt, or any additional healthy snack.  Adding a little note to your child's bag will definitely make them happy! Students' snack times and the Halloween-themed activities will take place at different times in the morning depending on each class' schedule.  
We understand and are happy that the children may receive a plethora of treats on Halloween night. Come Wednesday, November 1st, the staff at Dale Street encourages healthy foods for student snack times to help promote optimal learning.  Thank you in advance for your continued support. 

Scientists at work!!! This week students in Mrs. Ross' fifth grade class collaborated to model whether the brightness of the Sun could power rovers on other planets.


Family Literacy Night on Thursday was fantastic! The activities, book selection, and hot dogs were all a hit. A huge shoutout to Jamee Callahan, the dedicated Elementary staff volunteers, and the amazing families who made the night special.



Thank you, Medfield for a fantastic Fall Fest! We loved enjoying the night out with you, sharing a brew, getting on the dance floor, and despite the rumors of rain, taking it all in during a balmy New England Fall evening. To top it all off, together we raised more than $20,000 toward grants for our amazing Medfield schools!



State-mandated vision screening will be conducted next week during PE classes.
Please make sure if your child wears glasses/contacts that they have them with them.
Please contact the school nurse, Kate Gustafson at kgustafson@email.medfield.net with any questions or if you would like your child excluded from the screening.
