Principal's Message
Happy Friday Delaware Trail Families,
I hope that you have had a great start to the month of February. The groundhog did NOT see his shadow which means spring is coming soon! We plan on getting the students outside during recess in the coming months, so please remember to have them dress appropriately for the weather.
On Friday, February 12th, we will have our classroom parties. Please remember that all folks volunteering to attending the parties MUST have a background check on file. We cannot let anyone in without it. This is a measure put in place to keep or students and staff safe and we appreciate your support with this. Our annual "Muffins with Moms" event is coming up on Friday, February 19th. This event is open to all moms, grandmas, aunts or women who impact the lives of our students.
Finally, our "Time with Teacher" event will be on Monday, February 29th after school. If your child is participating, please stand by for directions for pick up that afternoon.
As a reminder, we have our
ISTEP testing window
from
February 29th-March 11th for grades 3-5 and our
IREAD testing
from
March 14th- 16th for 3rd grade. Please refrain from scheduling appointments for your children during these windows of time.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mrs. Greene

5th grade students participated in the Battle of the Books last semester.

It was a very close match, with Cardinal coming out on top by 4 points. Delaware Trail-34, Cardinal-38.
We would like to congratulate all of the Delaware Trail classroom winners!
