From Our Principal

Thank you to all of our Delta Center families who were able to participate in our Spring Conferences! Our virtual conferences will be held on Tuesday evening. I appreciate and recognize the value of meeting with your child's teacher to discuss their academic progress. We aim for 100% participation as we are stronger as one team, your continued support and involvement in your child’s education is critical. For those of you who were not able to meet with your child's teacher, please reach out for a quick phone conference. We would also like to thank our fabulous PTO for all of our meals and coffee; we appreciate it so much on such a busy week.

Thank you to everyone using the north lot for morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. For safety reasons, the staff lot is not an option, as it requires students to cross the bus lane. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our students safe!

 

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