Happy Friday Dale Street Families,
It was another busy week here at Dale Street despite the holiday and the cold temperatures. Please take a minute to scroll through to view the different activities that took place this week.
Congratulations to this week's Positive Referrals. We are very proud of these students. Thank you for all of your hard work and thanks for making our school such a great place!
Congratulations to Mrs. Evans and our 4th and 5th grade Orchestras for an amazing concert last night. Dale Street students showcased their talents, and reminded us why our music program is such a wonderful part of the Medfield Public School system. Thank you all for a wonderful event.
The Dale Street School has decided to dedicate its second Spirit Day to collecting donations to support the Medfield Animal Shelter. Our school is doing this as way to connect to our community. We will be collecting items to donate to the shelter beginning Monday, February 8th through Friday, February 12th. The Medfield Animal Shelter rescues lost or abandoned animals and provides shelter until they find new homes. They depend on donations of food, cleaning supplies and cat litter. For more information, refer to medfieldshelter.com. Thank you in advance for your continued support.
To raise awareness for the Medfield Animal Shelter drive, Friday, February 12, will be a school-wide Spirit Day. The theme will be 'Twin Day.' Staff and students are invited to participate.
On a visit to Mrs. Crable's fourth grade class this week, students had the opportunity to dialogue about key components of an effective persuasive essay.
Dale Street School Intramural Program
Winter/Spring 2016 Session
The Dale Street School Intramural Program offers students opportunities for fun and learning in a relaxed setting of an after school club. Session 2 will begin the week of January 25th.
Students pay a fee for each Intramural activity (district policy= $8 per class x number of classes and $10 per class for languages.) Please note that the activity fee is non-refundable. Some activities may have an additional materials fee, which is included in the fee.
This year the Intramural program will have club sign-ups online. The link to the online form is located on the Dale St. Web page under Activities, then click intramurals. Please have your child make their choice, fill out the online form and return payment in an envelope labeled “Intramural Program”. Please return either cash or check (made payable to Medfield Public Schools) to the main office. The last day to register online for winter classes is January 23rd. Spring offerings will remain open for the next few weeks.
Activities are limited in the number of participants, and we will do our best to accommodate your child's first choice. Some activities are scheduled on the same date so students should choose their activity carefully. Also please notice that some activities have both a winter and spring edition. All placements are on a first come first served basis.
Each activity runs according to the dates listed on the Activity Selection Sheet. Typically the programs are 2:40 PM to 4 PM. Children must be picked up no later than 4 PM at the Adams St. Office Area. Any child who will not be picked up by an adult will need a note with permission to walk and present it to the Intramural teacher at the first class.
Thank you for your help in making our Intramural Program a continued success.
