June 13, 2025 - Final Day

 Happy Summer, Dale Street Community! 

What an amazing year! I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude to all the students and staff members who have demonstrated hard work, a commitment to excellence, and an unwavering spirit each day to #beproudbedale.  It has been so great to see and so great to be a part of. I also want to thank all of the families for being a part of our journey.  It most certainly takes a village!  Please enjoy the final blog of the '24-'25 school year.  

Congratulations to our 5th graders!

On Wednesday, our Grade 5 students participated in Dale Street's Grade 5 Celebration. It was a great event!  Special thanks to Mrs. Caulfield - your message was fabulous, and all of the students who spoke/sang at the ceremony - you crushed it! Here are a few snapshots from the day.

Report Cards are now available for viewing on the Aspen Parent Portal. 

5th grade students in Sra. Spittel’s Spanish class presented their research on an animal from a Spanish-speaking country as part of their final project from our Galapagos unit!

K-5 Medfield Public Schools is excited to share information about our carnival-themed summer reading program! Summer reading is both fun and important. We are hoping for high participation numbers in our program this year. Mr. Grenham and Mrs. Beaudoin presented the Dale Street summer reading challenges to all incoming fourth graders and soon-to-be fifth graders.

Always an awesome afternoon at the Grade 5 Yearbook Signing! 📘✨ So many smiles and memories as our students celebrate a fantastic year together! 

On Tuesday, Ray Sharlarken, whose wife, Darla, served as the Dale Street librarian from 2009–2015, visited Dale Street to read a story and made a generous donation to our library. We are very appreciative of his time, kindness, and continued support of our readers! 📚💙

Elementary Math Website

Although summer is an essential time for students to relax and unwind, it is also a fantastic time for them to process and apply what they have learned so they can make mathematical connections. Check out our new elementary math website where you can find resources and information to support your mathematician all summer long!
