We are so excited for our annual Delta Center Carnival tonight! Join us for a silent auction, inflatable bounce houses, games, music, food, and more. $5/ticket, $20 max per family, under age 5 free, tickets are available at the door. Thank you to all who help make this extraordinary event a success, teachers, staff, parents, PTO, honor society students, and more. We couldn't do it without you! We hope to see you tonight!

We are noticing a spike in less-than-STAR-like behaviors here at school. Though not atypical, it would be greatly appreciated if you would speak to your child to reinforce good behavior while at school. There are a plethora of activities coming up, and I'd hate for them to miss out due to negative behaviors. Thank you for your support.

Due to testing being conducted in the library and our upcoming field trips, special events, etc., this was the last week to check out library books for the year. All books need to be returned by May 22nd so Mrs. Gee can start taking inventory.  Invoices will be sent after May 31 for books not returned or returned with damage.

Kindergarten Enrollment

If you have a new student to enroll in BK or Kindergarten for the 2025 - 2026 school year, please contact Mrs. Reiber at 517-925-5681. Once your child is registered, you will be invited to attend ONE parent meeting. During the parent meeting, we will discuss our BK and K programs, kindergarten curriculum, expectations, preferred school supplies, and other important information to help you and your child prepare for their kindergarten year. Your child must be registered before attending a parent meeting; we ask that you attend only ONE parent meeting. If you have not yet enrolled your child for BK / Kindergarten, please use this link: Enroll Today!

As always, if you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

CARNIVAL TONIGHT -  5:30 - 7:30 pm
