Even though it was a short week, we had lots of exciting things happening at Dale Street! Please enjoy this week's blog and be sure to check out the "Mark Your Calendar" section at the bottom for some upcoming dates and reminders.
to Dale Street students and staff for being commended by the Department of Education for meeting gap narrowing goals and achieving high progress on last year's state assessment! Although it is also important to remember that this assessment is only one measure of a student’s understanding and growth, we are very proud and honored to have been recognized as a commendation school by the Department of Education. The scores for our students were mailed out today.
Our school participated in a bus evacuation on Tuesday. All students (regardless of whether they ride the bus to and from school) participated in this important exercise. Special thanks to Officer Manganello for her assistance with bus evacuation.
Positive Referral!!!
This student received a Positive Referral this week for being extremely helpful to a peer. Great work!
On a visit to Mrs. Dellamonica's Spanish classroom, I was able to watch Grade 5 students collaborate to gain a better understanding of the Spanish alphabet. Buen trabajo!
