The next Principal's Coffee will be held on Friday, May 10th, at 8:45 a.m. in the Dale Street School cafeteria. We will be reviewing our Site Council survey results and discussing the 2019-2020 school budget along with new staff positions for the upcoming school year. Also, as requested in the Site Council survey, we will have an information session on the use of Google Classroom. Please RSVP if you are planning to attend. Please note that if you are in need of child care, feel free to bring your little ones. We will be providing refreshments for this presentation.
In Mrs. Lowerre's fifth grade classroom today, students focused their learning on 'How engineers impact our world?' They had the chance to read, discuss, and learn about engineers. To cap it off, they built and tested paper airplanes to determine their length of flight!
