Hello Dale Street Families,
Your students continue to do a great job each day here at #beproudbedale. Here peek at the happenings at Dale Street this week and several updates for you as we wind down term 1 of the school year.
On Tuesday, Dale Street held its own election to decide between the two names. Students completed "official" ballots in their classrooms, received "I Voted Today" stickers, and anxiously awaited the results.
The context...The Wild Robot has a partner named Brightbill. Dale (our Library mascot) needed a partner, too. The problem was, what were we going to name Dale's new sidekick? After narrowing down the choices from multiple options, it came down to two candidates - Gus or Waddles.
Drumroll please . . . . Dale's new feathered friend is now called Gus.
Congratulations to this week's Positive Referrals!
It’s that time of year again! Look at the smiles on students' faces as they receive reply letters from the National Parks they wrote to—so exciting!
🐾 The final count is in! I’m thrilled and incredibly proud to share that Dale Street raised an amazing $900 for the Brother Wolf Animal Shelter to support their recovery after Hurricane Helene. A huge thank you to all our students and families for their generosity and compassion—your contributions will make a real difference! A special shout-out to Grade 5 teacher, Ms. Sager, for facilitating this important initiative. Her leadership and dedication helped make this fundraiser a success! 🐾
Congratulations to Dale Street's Artist of the Month, Aidan from Ms. DiPesa's class.
Thursday, November 14th and Friday, November 15th are early release days for Fall Teacher Conferences. We invite you to come in and meet with your student's teacher. Students will be dismissed at 11:40 a.m. on both of these days. Please be sure to check School Dismissal Manager to see what your student’s dismissal plan is for those days. Unless you make a change, your student will be dismissed per their regular end-of-day plan. If you need to make a change, please do so before 10:30 a.m. on the day of early dismissal.
For those of you conferencing in person, please be sure to check out our Lost & Found display in the lobby for any items that may belong to your family. As a reminder, labeling your child’s items is strongly encouraged as it helps us to quickly return coats, hats, mittens, sweatshirts, and water bottles to their rightful owner. Thank you in advance.
On a visit to Mrs. Delaney's art class🎨 this week, grade 5 were working on showing figures in motion while creating their gesture drawings. Bravo!
This week in Mrs. Flynn's fourth-grade class students worked together to sort mathematical expressions as less than, greater than, or equal to 1. Wonderful teamwork and thoughtful discussions!

What should we wear? Most people will wear cocktail attire – think cocktail dress, romper or jumper, dress pants with a sweater, button-down and/or blazer. But if you want to go dressier or more casual, go for it! And in the spirit of this year’s theme – Blue & Silver Fall Ball – Medfield colors are highly encouraged but definitely not required.
