Hello Dale Street Community!
I am thrilled to share that we've had an amazing week filled with collaboration, engaging activities, and fun at #beproudbedale! Our #rockstar students and staff have made the transition into this school year with incredible enthusiasm. Please take a moment to enjoy some highlights from this week and stay informed about some upcoming dates and events.
Last night, Dale Street hosted an Open House for students and their families. It was a fantastic evening that highlighted the importance of our family-school partnership. It was wonderful to have had such a great turnout. Thank you to everyone who attended to learn more about your child’s classroom and the Dale Street School. Special thanks to Food Services for providing the yummy treats and thank you to our School Committee, SEPAC, PTO, MMA, and MCPE representatives who came to greet our families and share information. Be on the lookout for more information regarding the curriculum your child will be engaged with this year!

On Tuesday, Dale Street participated in a bus evacuation. All students (regardless of whether they ride the bus to and from school) participated in this important exercise. Special thanks to our students, staff, bus drivers, and Detective Plant for a successful drill.
You should have received an email regarding intramurals this week. Intramural sign-ups/registration will begin on September 23rd. Classes are slated to start the week of September 30th. All Intramural information can be found on the Dale Street Website in the Menu section under Activities.

For the second year and based on overwhelmingly positive feedback, Medfield SEPAC will offer Parent Connection Groups. A SEPAC parent volunteer will coordinate each, focusing on a different diagnosis. These informal groups will connect parents and caregivers of children of all ages with the specific diagnosis to share experiences and resources.
Our Parent Connection Groups focusing on ADHD and Autism Spectrum (ASD) met jointly on September 18 and will continue to meet regularly throughout the year.
Our Parent Connection Groups, focusing on Down Syndrome, is planning to hold its first meeting in October and we are looking to schedule meetings for groups with the following diagnoses: Anxiety, Depression & Mental Health; Intellectual & Developmental Disability; Allergy; and Dyslexia + Language-based Learning Disabilities. If you want to join any of these groups, please email sepac@email.medfield.net to connect with our parent volunteers for more information.
Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter now by sending an email to SEPAC@email.medfield.net and don't forget to follow us on IG (@medfieldsepac) or FB for updates!

'YOU ARE IMPORTANT!'
We are very excited to announce that again this year all 4th and 5th-grade students will have the opportunity to complete biweekly math challenges. Math challenges will be available to print at home from the website linked below.
Students will be free to solve as many problems as they can and will have about a week to turn in their work. We hope that all students and families find these problems to be a challenging and fun activity.
More information, including a calendar of important dates and a link to download and print the challenges and solutions, is available here. Any questions regarding the math challenge program can be directed to Dale Street math specialist, Ms. Perachi.
The first Challenge is due on 9/25
