See You Next Week at Conferences!
Thank you for signing up for a parent/teacher conference next week on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday. Your partnership with our teachers is critical to the success of your child’s education and overall development and growth. If you have not yet signed up, please do so here: Delta Center's Conference Link. Teachers will be providing updates on your child’s progress toward end-of-year grade-level standards.
STAR Behaviors!
We recently celebrated February's STAR students for the month. These students were selected by their teachers for always exhibiting STAR behaviors of being Safe, Trustworthy, Attentive, and Respectful! We held an assembly and brought these STAR students front and center to receive their certificates and be cheered on by their peers to celebrate their accomplishments. Afterward, we played a fun game of human-hungry hippos with both the staff and students. Congratulations to our February STAR students. We are continuing this recognition throughout the remainder of this school year.
Scarlett Herrst, Jayden Sensaliver, Hazel Anderson, Julian Lee, Mari Vanderstelt, Landen Daley, Ethan Spencer, and Prateeksha Rangaiahgari
As always, if you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Delta Center PTO Needs You!
Our PTO provides support for teachers, academic materials for students, and fun activities for students and families. We are in need of volunteers to continue to run! We will have several board positions available at the end of this year and also have many opportunities to be involved, at any commitment level, throughout the year. Without parent participation and support, our PTO will not be able to continue to run. Currently we are looking for one parent per grade level to help with the Silent Auction at our Carnival on May 31. Please consider attending a meeting, volunteering, or reaching out for more information about how you can be involved. To reach us, you can join the Delta Center PTO facebook page or email us at DeltaCenterGLPTO@gmail.com
Thank you!
PTO Meetings:
April 10th - 6:30

We meet in our Library and offer free childcare! We would love to have you join us!
Happy Friday!
It’s been a great couple of months learning about emotion management in the classroom. Your kids are doing a fantastic job identifying their feelings and using calming strategies to calm themselves. The three calming strategies that we have focused on are taking deep belly breaths (rainbow breathing), muscle relaxation techniques (squeeze the lemons/ drop the lemons) and using positive self-talk.
Starting in April, we will be discussing problem solving strategies and techniques that your kids can use in the classroom and at home. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or need any assistance.
Have a great weekend!

Makerspace needs your help!
We are looking for parent volunteers to help run makerspace on Monday’s during lunch recess!
If you ordered a picture package, you will receive a yearbook at the end of the year. If not, please see the information from Geskus on how to order a yearbook.
If you need to check on your order, please call Geskus at 1-616-453-4170
Thank you!
Birthday Treats
Our classes do not have students bring in birthday treats. We have a number of food related allergies across the building so that is a practice we have not done for quite a number of years now. If your child wants to bring something for the class, it can be non-edible items like bookmarks, pencils, etc.
Thank you for helping to keep our students safe!
