Week 4 (9/23-9/27)

Hello Delaney Families,

It's hard to believe but almost a month of school is already behind us.Where did September go? 

This week's blog is filled with news and important dates for upcoming events.  Please enjoy.



Summer Reading Program - Closing Ceremonies

Students in grades K-6 celebrated the outstanding percentage of students who successfully completed the Summer Reading requirements.

In the Delaney School, our first grade students led the way with 92% participation, followed by grade three at 91% and grade two with 81%.  Our brand new kindergarten students showed their love for reading with more than two thirds of the grade level enjoying some great books over the summer months.




Great job boys and girls!  Thank you to all parents/families/teachers who helped to support this important program.



MCAS 2013 parent letters were mailed out on Friday, September 27th.  Please be on the lookout for these mailings which will include ELA & Math scores for students in grade 3-6 who took the MCAS last year.

WhenThursday, October 3rd @7:00 P.M.
Where: McMorrow Field (behind Roderick School)
Rain Date:  Friday, October 4th @7:00 P.M.



Our school will host Grandparent's/Special Person's day on Thursday, October 17, 2013.  Buses will be available beginning at 8:30 AM from Luciano’s at Lake Pearl Park to the Delaney/ Roderick School bus circle.  Grandparents/Special People are welcome to visit classrooms between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM.  We ask that all guests sign in with a PTO volunteer before moving throughout the buildings.  Buses will return visitors to Luciano’s at Lake Pearl Park starting at 10:30 AM.  Although there will be volunteers to assist on this day, it will be helpful for guests to know their school designation and child’s teacher’s name before arriving at the school. We hope that you can join us on this very special day.



DECA Teddy Bear Drive

Students from the King Philip DECA program are participating in a Public Relations Project to support the children and families affected by Pediatric Cancer. From September 23rd to October 4th, bins will be set up in the Delaney School, King Philip High School and Middle School, and the Fiske Libary. DECA students are working to collect NEW (used ones cannot be accepted) Teddy Bears to donate to Boston Children's Hospital. 

Thank you in advance for your help.
