March 15, 2024 - Week 28

 Happy St. Patrick's Day Weekend, Dale Street!

What a spectacular week! #beproudbedale students were involved in so many wonderful activities this week. I am a proud and privileged principal to work every day with the incredible students and staff at Dale Street!

Congratulations to this week's Positive Referral!


The Round of 16 of our March Madness Tournament begins next week. Round of 32 scores will be posted in the cafeteria on Monday at lunch.  Students and staff who made it to the Round of 16 will need to shoot 10 free throws during one of the following days: Tuesday, 3/19 or Friday, 3/22, between 7:50 a.m. - 8:20 a.m.  Please note that all team members do not have to come on the same day, but all need to shoot the free throws by Friday, 3/22.

This week students in Mrs. Scott's fourth-grade class worked hard during writer's workshop. Love the smiles!  





Elementary Principal Webinar
On March 27th at 4 PM, the Elementary Principals will be offering an information webinar (link below) to families regarding the student placement process for the 2024-2025 school year.
