Delton Kellogg Schools - Small School Atmosphere with Big Opportunities

Open your heart and your home to the exchange student program!

Panther Fans, Update for today, 1/17/24, and Athletic events. The Varsity Wrestling Quad at Allegan has been rescheduled for Wednesday, January 31st. due to insufficient practice times and weigh-in issues for all four schools. The JV/Varsity Boys Basketball games vs Bellevue at DK have been postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date. Bellevue has a No School/No Event policy. Practice schedules for today will be announced at noon if allowed. Keep in mind, those, if held, would be Varsity Only, Optional, practices. Thanks for staying tuned for all of these changes over this past week. We have found ourselves in a very interesting time, that is for sure. Thanks and Go Panthers!!

Due to inclement weather and deteriorating road conditions, Delton Kellogg Schools will be closed on Wednesday, January 17th. DK daycare will remain open. Thank you and have a safe snow day!

DKHS Students and Parents, I hope this message finds you well. As we approach the final exam period, I wanted to bring to your attention a few important considerations that the DKHS staff have considered in light of recent disruptions caused by snow days. We will operate under the following guidelines: Impact of Snow Days on Review Days: The unexpected snow days have unfortunately led to the cancellation of several review days that were initially planned to help students prepare for their final exams. We understand the significance of these review sessions and acknowledge the challenges this may pose for both students and teachers. Demonstrating Grace to Students: In recognition of the unforeseen circumstances, we would like to extend a gesture of grace to our students. We believe in supporting our students during these challenging times and understand the additional stress caused by the disruption to the regular schedule. DKHS staff have agreed to err on the side of extending grace to all of our students. This may look different in each classroom, but the underlying theme of grace will apply across the board. Honoring Students' Efforts: We highly value the efforts and hard work that students have put into their studies throughout the semester. It is important for us to acknowledge and honor their dedication, considering the unexpected challenges they have faced. We are working to allow for all final exams to happen but if we experience additional snow days this may get more complicated. (see more info below) Schedule: Wednesday-Review (half-day for students) Thursday-1st and 2nd-hour exams (half-day for students) Friday-3rd and 4th-hour exams (half-day for students) Monday-No School (Teacher PD) Tuesday-5th and 6th-hour exams (Full day of school, students will start their new schedules in the afternoon) However, if we end up with another closure, teachers are prepared to waive and/or further modify exams. End-of-course exams are a way for students to demonstrate their understanding and mastery of course concepts. A student might be in a situation where the exam will help them to improve their overall grade. In this case, we would absolutely want to give that opportunity. Please dress warmly, it is cold outside! If you have your own water bottle, please bring that as well. And, while we will make every effort to support you, please do your best to be prepared for your exams. If you have any questions, please email me, nick.damico@dkschools.org, or your child's teacher. Thank you, Dr. Damico #OneDelton

DK Panther Fans, Today's weather update is as follows: The JV/Varsity boys and varsity girls basketball games at Climax-Scotts have been canceled and will be rescheduled at a later date. There will be no Athletic practices or events held today due to the temps and road conditions. If you have any questions, please contact the Athletic Office at 269 623-1524. Stay warm and be safe. Thanks and Go Panthers!!

DK Panther Fans, Just a quick heads up that ALL athletic activities and practices scheduled for this afternoon (1/15.24) have been canceled due to the lovely, balmy temps that we are currently experiencing as well as the condition of many of our back roads. Please be safe, stay warm and we'll keep you posted on any of our upcoming events as we move forward. Thanks and Go Panthers!!

Due to the winter storm, Delton Kellogg Schools will be closed on Friday, January 12th. All weekend events are canceled, and the DK daycare will be closed. Thank you, and have a safe weekend!

Attention Panther Fans, Mother Nature continues to cause a ruckus with the scheduling of Athletic events this week. The latest update is as follows: The JV Boy's Basketball game at DK vs Saugatuck (1/11/24) has been MOVED TO Saugatuck with a 4:00 pm tip. This game will no longer be played at DK. Friday's Varsity Girls and Boys Basketball games at Saugatuck have been CHANGED TO Thursday, January 11th with a 5:30 pm tip for the Girls and a 7:00 pm tip for the Boys. Due to the potential winter storm that has been forecast for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with the potential for a shortage of officials on Thursday, are a couple of reasons for making the schedule changes. Thanks, in advance, for your willingness to be flexible with your schedules as we attempt to get these competitions in, during what has become a pretty goofy week! Friday's wrestling and comp cheer events and Saturday's wrestling events are still on as scheduled. We will continue to provide updates as we move forward. Stay tuned, be safe, and Go Panthers!!
