Honoring Memorial Day 

As we head into the Memorial Day weekend, we pause to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country. At Delta Center Elementary, we are grateful for the freedoms we enjoy and remember the veterans and families who have given so much.

In observance of Memorial Day, there will be no school on Monday, May 26.
We hope you take time with your family to reflect, show gratitude, or simply say “thank you” to a veteran. Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend!

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.

Volunteering & Chaperoning

Persons wishing to volunteer for Grand Ledge Public Schools are required to complete the Volunteer Registration Form and be approved prior to serving as a volunteer.  All volunteers MUST check in at the office to receive a BADGE prior to proceeding to any other area on school property.  Please visit District Volunteer Application to complete the process.

Please note: the background check takes a few days to process, so submit your application in advance based on your volunteer plans. 

If your student will be moving to a different school next year, be sure to select both their current school and the school they’ll be attending.
For example: If your child is currently in 4th grade at Delta Center and will attend Hayes next year, select Delta Center and Hayes on the application. This ensures you’ll be cleared to volunteer at both locations when needed. Applications are valid for one calendar year.
