Thank you to all of our Delta Center families who participated in parent/teacher conferences this week. It is such an important part of the success of our students and we appreciate you. Today our conferences are virtual from 1:00 - 3:00 pm. We would also like to thank our amazing PTO for providing dinner for our teachers during these long conference days where teachers go from classroom to conferences with a short dinner time in between.  

Our book fair was a great success! Purchases made by families help Mrs. Gee buy new books for our library! Please see information below in the newsletter if you would like to order books online. The online book fair is open through November 22nd. Books make great gifts too!

If you are a parent of a Kindergarten student and they have not yet had their dental assessment, we will have Smile on Wheels here November 17th! 

Screening Date:  11-17-26

Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment (KOHA)

Smiles on Wheels will be here to provide the Kindergarten Oral Health Assessments (KOHA) in partnership with the Health Department. Like hearing and vision screenings, this is now a state requirement for ALL kindergarten students.
This is a visual oral assessment ONLY. No cleanings or other services are done. If you do not want your child to participate, please call the office and send a written note with
your child stating you would like to opt out. A letter from a dental office must then be provided to the school as proof of meeting the requirement.

Delta Center PE is a GREAT Place to BE active!

Want to help make our physical learning more fun?! If you would like to help Mrs. Watters purchase items for her classroom, please follow this Amazon link.

Below, please find our gym schedule for the 2026-2027 school year! This will show which days to wear your gym shoes. Thank you!

Please call our attendance line to leave a message if your student will be absent from school. This is available 24 hours a day. 

517-925-5581

Please call before 9:30 am if your student will be late and will need to order a lunch. 

All absences from school conflict with the continuity of learning and need to be avoided when possible. Regular school attendance is necessary to academic success and continuous and consecutive attendance in school is required by State law; 10-undocumented absences limit per school year.  The 10-absence limit per school year includes both Explained Absence (AE) and Unexplained Absence (AU).

Documented Absence (AD) - Absence that includes a note from a professional  (ie. doctor, dentist, lawyer, etc.) to explain the absence. Absences are only considered documented for the days identified in the note. For example, if a doctor excuses a student for Monday and Tuesday, but the student is absent on Wednesday and Thursday as well, only Monday and Tuesday’s absences are considered documented. Any absence that does not include a note from a professional is considered undocumented.

Explained Absence (AE) - Undocumented absence in which a parent/guardian calls the office or sends a note to alert the school their child will not be in attendance, but does not include a note from a professional (ie. doctor, dentist, lawyer, etc.). This is important because explained absences are necessary for schools to meet pupil accounting requirements.

Unexplained Absence (AU) - Undocumented absence in which a parent/guardian does not call the office to alert the school their child will not be in attendance.

Undocumented Absence Letter - A student's school will send a letter after 6 undocumented absences and after 10 undocumented absences in a school year, providing you with notice of the absences and outlining steps to help your child attend school regularly.

Ten (10) or more days of undocumented absences in a school year can be sent to court. However, GLPS will make every effort to work with you and your student before it gets to that point.

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. 

Due to food allergies and special dietary needs throughout our school we do not allow edible birthday treats. If you would like to send something in for you child to share with the class on their birthday, please send in things such as bookmarks, erasers, etc. 

When we have classroom holiday parties, please approve snacks with your child's teacher. 

Thank you!!
