Opportunity to Support the Dale Street Library
Mrs. Cowell and Mr. James from Park Street Books are teaming up to offer an opportunity to purchase so fantastic book titles on Thursday, March 16th and Tuesday, March 21st. Mr. James is providing Dale Street with 20 different titles to sell during the conference afternoons (12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.). These tiles were chosen based on popularity in the library, student requests, and newer titles of high quality for 4th/5th graders. A percentage of the profits will go directly to new books for the Dale Street library. Please consider stopping by the Dale Street's library during the hours of 12-3 on March 16th and March 21st.

This week Mr. Mason's fifth grade class ventured outside to measure wind speed and find wind direction. Thankfully they did this on Monday not Thursday 😄
Parent/teacher conferences are just around the corner. Conferences are a wonderful time to check in with your child's teacher about their academic and social/emotional growth. Conference dates are set for Thursday, March 16th and Tuesday, March 21st. Both days are half days for the students with dismissal at 11:40 a.m.. Please note that Term II report cards will be sent home on Monday, March 27th.

Next Friday, March 10th, I will be
hosting our second term Principal's Coffee. During this time, we will
talk about the process we will use for placing students in classrooms for
2017-2018 school year and we will detail some of the technology we use here at
Dale Street. The coffee will begin at 8:45 a.m. in the Library Media Center. Click here to RSVP. Please note that if you are stuck
for child care, please feel free to bring your little ones. I hope that
you will be able to stop in after you drop off your child(ren) on this day.
We will be providing refreshments for this presentation.
Thank you for taking time to read this week's Dale Street Blog! Have an awesome weekend!
Respectfully,
Steve
