Welcome to Delta Middle School

August 7, 2020

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,

Greetings from Pike-Delta-York Middle School, where we are excited to welcome our Panthers back home for the 2020-2021 school year! Our staff is committed to providing every student with a safe, healthy, and happy environment by treating each Panther just as our own child or grandchild. I would encourage you to read our district’s plan to see all the steps we are taking to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our buildings and keep all of our students happy and healthy as we restart for the school year.

Students return to class on Wednesday, August 19th. We hope to restore some normalcy to our students’ lives as we are sticking with the same bell schedule as last year. Our tardy bell rings at 8:10 AM. Dismissal remains at 2:55 PM. If you plan on keeping your student home absent, our policy is for you to call school that day. A hand-written note must accompany a student and be turned into the office upon one week of their return. Finally, please review the 2020-2021 Student Handbook located on the district website under the Middle School tab in order to become familiar with student dress code and other building policies.

Please be sure to complete the mandatory Returning Student Registration by logging into FinalForms. This is the district process for completing required paperwork to start the school year. Completing the registration process is necessary before a student may pick up their schedule at Open House on Monday, August 17th, 1-5pm.

Sincerely,

Peter Nafziger

Additional Information

Visitors to Delta Middle School are asked to park in the front parking lot. Do not park in spots designated/reserved for staff or handicapped without a permit. When dropping off or picking up students you MUST use the car loop for student safety.

Car Loop Details:
Arrival: The car loop is least busy before 7:50am. We realize the car loop is busy, but keep in mind safety is our #1 concern.

• Use the curbside lane, drive slowly, pulling up all the way.
• Avoid large gaps between cars. (Do NOT park and get out in the car loop to walk your child(ren) to the front door!)
• Only let your child exit from the passenger side.

Dismissal: Arrive after 2:45 pm to line up for dismissal. The loop is less busy after 3:05 pm for pick up. We realize the car loop is busy, but keep in mind safety is our #1 concern.

• Use the curbside lane, drive slowly, pulling up ALL THE WAY. Please let your student out anywhere on the sidewalk, it doesn't need to be at the front doors. Doing this will make the car loop be more efficient for everyone.
• Avoid large gaps between cars. Do NOT park and get out of your vehicle in the car loop to pick up your child(ren).
• Only let your child enter from the passenger side.

Following these steps helps reduce congestion and provides a safe/efficient pick up area.
