Dear Delta Center Families,

As we wrap up another school year and head into summer, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support, partnership, and trust. While many of you already know about my upcoming transition to a new role within the district, it is still incredibly emotional to prepare for a fall where I won't be returning to Delta Center. These past seven years have truly been some of the best years of my life, and I am going to miss this community immensely.

I will deeply miss the daily high-fives, the morning waves, and the joy of watching your children grow every day. However, I take immense comfort in knowing that I leave this building in absolutely outstanding hands. Because of the incredible teams we have built together, the strong initiatives in play, our robust MTSS systems, and our constantly rising student achievement, Delta Center is set up for continued, uninterrupted success.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful children with me and for allowing me to be a part of your lives over the last seven years. I love and appreciate you all more than words can say, and I am so proud of everything we have accomplished together.

Have an amazing, safe, and happy summer!

With all my love and appreciation,

Teresa Dyer. Principal, Delta Center Elementary

New Picture Company for next school year!!

We are changing to schoolpictures.com for our student pictures and yearbook for next school year. Our high school and middle school are already using schoolpictures.com with great reviews! 

We are going to start taking our student's pictures at Open House which will be Wednesday August 19th! 

If you are not at Open House this year, we will have two retake days after the school year begins. 

Thank you! Have a great summer :)

YEARBOOK INFORMATION 

If you would like to order a yearbook, please use this link.  It will come directly to your house and will not be here before the last day, but your student will have an autograph book for friends to sign. 

If you are unsure if you previously ordered a yearbook, or if it was included in your portrait package, please call the office at 517-925-5540 and we can let you know. 

If you have any questions for Geskus, please call them at 616-453-4170.

Yearbooks are $8.00 through Geskus.

STEAM CAMP!

This summer from June 22-June 26 Delta Center is hosting Camp Invention!

4 of our amazing staff members will be teaching and Mrs. Ward is the director of camp this year! 

Camp runs from 8:30-3 every day that week with the option of adding on before and after care for an additional charge.

Reach out to Mrs. Ward at wardb@glcomets.net with any questions.

We hope to see you there! 

Attendance / Absence Policy

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).

In order to help provide supports for students and families, GLPS closely monitors explained and unexplained absences. We also work with families to ensure that as many absences as possible are documented, because undocumented absences can trigger truancy considerations.

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.

Attendance Policy - Undocumented Absences

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.

A student's school will communicate with families if the student has undocumented absences on more than 10% of the first 30 days. 

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.

Please note that school related absences, such as field trips or athletic events, are not factored into any truancy related processes.

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.
