March 24, 2017 - Week 28

Greetings Dale Street Community!


Thank you to all of the Dale Street parents and care givers who were able to attend Parent/Teacher conferences over the past two weeks.  The lines of communication between home and school must always remain open and strong.  If at any point during the remainder of the school year you feel that there is an area in your child’s education that needs to be addressed, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher.  We strive to do our best to support the academic, social, and emotional development of your child(ren).

Bravo to all of the fifth grade students who participated in last Friday's Talent Show.  Each act was truly fantastic!  Special thanks to all of the students and families who came to the show.  We greatly appreciate your support.  Thank you to Talent Show director, Mr. Mason for all of his dedication to the show and Ms. Walunas, our fantastic Stage Manager!












 to Dale Street's DI teams!

DI teams from the Dale Street School made an excellent showing at the regional DI Tournament last Saturday. One of our teams is advancing and will present on Saturday, April 1st at WPI, Worcester.  Spectators are welcome....so please consider taking a ride to WPI and supporting the Dale Street DI team and our other Medfield school teams!






We have recently witnessed a small number of students wandering in the parking lot at dismissal time.  As I am sure you understand, this presents a very troubling safety issue.  Many vehicles are moving in the parking lot after parents have signed their child(ren) out with Dale Street staff.  Upon checking with these students, we now know that a small group of students are signed out as 'walkers' and when they leave the school are meeting a parent/caregiver in the parking lot.  If you are going to pick your child(ren) up at dismissal, please have them signed up as a 'pick-up' and sign them out at the sign-out door.  Thank you in advance for keeping our students safe.    


Special thanks to Meet in Ms. Isaacson's class for reading our book recommendation today.  Meet recommended Bone: Crown of Horns by Jeff Smith because it is a very adventurous book.  He gave this book 5 stars.  Thanks Meet!   
Bravo to our recent Positive Referral recipients.  These students were recognized by staff members in the building for embodying good behavior!  
We are proud of you!




Don’t miss the 4th Annual MA Miss Amazing Show this Saturday, March 25, 2017 at Medfield High School on March 25, 2017, 6pm - 9pm. 
Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door.  Come support girls and women with disabilities, their families and the many volunteers who have been planning this special event for months.  The evening show includes an introduction by each participant, an escorted walk in their finest formal attire and an opportunity to showcase their abilities and talents.  MA Miss Amazing brings the community together like no other event, don’t miss the fun!!  All proceeds directly support future MA Miss Amazing activities. 

Bravo to our 4th and 5th grade Chorus students (and Mrs. Oxholm) who performed beautifully at last weekend's Big Sing at St. Paul's Cathedral in Cambridge!  A big thank you to all of our chaperones!



Based on feedback from families, Dale Street will continue the 'Pop Up Book Fair' that we offered during our recent conference afternoons.  The "book fair" will run until next Thursday (3/30). This is such a great opportunity for Dale Street as Mr. James, from Park Street Books will be giving our school a percentage of every purchase to buy more books for the library. Thank you in advance for your continued support!

Students in Mrs. Flynn's fourth grade classroom visited the LMC this week to begin their state research projects.  These project based learning projects had students excited and engaged!














Thank you to all who donated to today's 'Hat Day.'  With the generous support of our students, families and staff, Dale Street will be donating over $200.00 to Medfield's Special Olympics day!  #communityconnection 






This week, fifth grade students in Mr. Mason's class participated in a magnetic  sailing activity.  Students worked together to explore how the north and south poles can influence the attraction or repelling of an object (in this case a ping pong ball).  Great job, young learners!
