Greetings Dale Street Families,
What a fabulous week back! The students and staff transitioned smoothly and there were so many exciting events happening around #beproudbedale this week. Take a look.....
This week students in Ms. Hayes'/Mrs. Newton's and Ms. Plympton's fourth-grade classes dove deeper into science as they were tasked with assembling electromagnetics - success!
The Class of 2024 Student Government is selling Medfield flags to raise money for their class! The flags cost $25.00 and are a standard 3 x 5 feet. They are perfect for decorating houses, hanging in rooms, or even decorating cars for the Senior Rolling Rally. Checks should be made out to the Town of Medfield and delivered to Medfield High School 88 R South Street no later than Thursday, May 6th, so order quick! Orders can be placed by clicking the link below and filling out the form. Be on the lookout for scanning a QR code on flyers found around the school and town shops!
Last Tuesday, Dale Street students (ones who completed a consent form) participated in our first day of pool testing. Our ROCKSTARS were, as usual, awesome! Special thanks to Mrs. Thompson and the Medfield nurses for organizing and conducting the testing and Dr. Marsden for securing this opportunity. If you would like more information, please click here.

Please note the dates of the upcoming MCAS tests. It is most important that students attend school on the days of testing, so please plan appointments in a way that does not interfere with your child being in school on the following testing dates:
ELA
Grade 5 - May 11th
Grade 4 - May 12th
Math
Grade 5 - May 18th
Grade 4 - May 19th
Science, Technology, and Engineering

The Dale Street Math Challenge is on! Students are free to solve as many problems as they can and will have about a week to turn in their work. Students can hand in a hard copy of the challenge to the office or email it to Mrs. Perachi (bperachi@email.medfield.net) prior to the due date.
More information, including a calendar of important dates and a link to download and print the challenges and solutions, is available here. Questions regarding the math challenge program can be directed to Dale Street math specialist, Mrs. Perachi.

| Students and staff share Library Media Specialist, Ms. Sweeney's happiness with our MCPE funded couches being put back into our library! |
This week students in Mr. Douglas' fourth-grade class took their learning outdoors. Students to a deeper dive into symmetry by participating in a scavenger hunt. My favorite part was seeing students create various drawings that showed symmetry.
Special thanks to Audrey's (in Mrs. Flynne's fourth-grade class) dad who volunteered to be their first 'Mystery Reader' of the year! This is a wonderful tradition in Mrs. Flynne's classroom and the students loved it!
Feeling stressed, down or anxious? Need to talk to someone about it? Medfield Outreach is offering drop-in hours. Check out this flyer for details.
A message from an MHS senior looking for help with her senior project...
Attention families of Medfield, I need your help!
My name is Mimi Orio and I’m doing a project in partnership with the SEL committee, the goal is to construct a short video showcasing the silver lining of this year. We have all been through so much hardship due to this pandemic and I think highlighting some positives, whether it be spending more time with family, or picking up a new hobby would be a much appreciated breath of fresh air. I am currently a high school senior and because of that, I know seniors, and not too many other people. That’s why I need your help!
I have some things in the works with schools already but I would love some submissions from families. I want this video to include the whole community, even parents:) If you feel you would like to be a part of this please send in a brief video answering one or two of your favorites of these questions :
What did you watch?
What did you cook?
Where did you walk?
What did you read?
What did you build?
What did you listen to?
What will you miss about quarantine?
(or anything else you would like to share)
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, if you have any questions or video submissions (Fingers crossed you do ;)) my email is: morio2021@email.medfield.net
