From Our Principal
8:55 a.m. – Starting the Day off Right
Students are expected to be in their classrooms and ready to learn by 8:55 a.m. In just 17 days of school, we’ve already recorded 218 tardies. Our school day begins five minutes earlier than last year and we want to emphasize the importance of arriving on time. Getting to school early allows students to unpack and be ready for class, setting a positive tone for the day and ensuring they don't miss valuable learning time. Late arrivals disrupt everyone's learning environment. If your child arrives late and cannot be in class by 8:55, please accompany them to the office to sign them in properly; otherwise, they will receive an unexcused tardy. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a focused and uninterrupted learning environment.
Fun Run
The PTO-sponsored Fall Fun Run is scheduled for Friday, October 11, 2024. As the PTO's largest fundraiser, all proceeds will directly benefit the students of Delta Center. Please click this link to learn more about the Fun Run and how your child can participate: 2024-2025 Fun Run.
Volunteering & Chaperoning
Persons wishing to volunteer for Grand Ledge Public Schools are required to complete the Volunteer Registration Form and be approved before serving as a volunteer. All volunteers MUST check in at the office to receive a BADGE before proceeding to any other area on school property. Please visit the District Volunteer Application to complete the process.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Hi Delta Center families!
My name is Mindi Stevens and I’m excited to be returning as your child’s school counselor. I am happy to report that Delta Center also has a social work intern from MSU named Miss Sarah that will be helping in our building this school year. We are here to support all the students here at Delta Center and their families.
Throughout the school year, we will be providing classroom lessons to all students focused on social and emotional skills as well as career awareness. We will also be teaching social skills in the form of small groups and providing individual check ins with students who need extra support.
If you have any questions or need anything, please let me know. I am looking forward to a wonderful school year with your students!
Have a great weekend!
Mindi
