Dale Street Blog: November 9, 2023

Hello Dale Street!

This week at #beproudbedale was a short, but productive. We want to extend a big thank you to all our families for participating in teacher conferences this week. Your support and partnership are so important and so appreciated. Please take a moment to check out this week's blog for some exciting highlights and to stay connected.

On behalf of the Dale Street staff, thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in teacher conferences this week. We believe the home-school partnership is paramount for student success and these discussions are important opportunities to help improve a child’s achievement and happiness, inside and outside the classroom. Please note that Term 1 closes on November 22nd. Report cards will be issued on December 8th and will include information from both classroom teachers and specialists.

This week, Grade 4 students in Mrs. Scott's class had a great time learning to code with our MCPE-funded Ozobots. Special thanks to our Technology Integrationist, Mr. Ahearn for creating such fun and creative lessons!

This week was School Psychologist Week. Please join me in thanking Dale Street's amazing School Psychologist, Mrs. Strekalovsky for the wonderful work she does each day.

Congratulations to Gabe who was recognized for completing an entire summer's worth of practice challenges. Way to go, Gabe!

The start of November for many means entering the holiday season. For MCPE, it means we’re underway with our first grant cycle of the 2023-24 school year, with our first set of submitted grants to be reviewed and approved this month! This also makes it a great time to look back at the impact of prior grants in Medfield schools - such as this Numicons interactive math tiles set funded by an MCPE grant for Memorial School in the 2021-22 school year. These manipulatives provide a hands-on way for students to learn about early math concepts, and help prepare them for future math skills like multiplication and division.

Follow MCPE on Instagram (@mcpe_medfield) to see more updates on how your donations make a real impact on our Medfield students!
