On Friday, February 23, DKHS will be taking ALL Juniors and Seniors on a bus to the Barry County CareerFest 2024 at Hastings High School. This all-day event will focus on a wide variety of career choices found in Barry County and allow high school-aged children from public and private schools to interact with area businesses and post-secondary educational institutions in pursuit of a possible career pathway.
The Career Fest will focus on a multitude of career choices such as Business Management, Marketing, Finance, Accounting, Technology, Engineering, Manufacturing, Industrial Technology, Construction, Health & Human Services, Medical, Natural Resources, Agriculture, Horticulture, Culinary Arts, Hospitality, Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice, Insurance, and Mechanics. We will depart DKHS at 10 am and return around 1 pm. This is an "opt-out" event. If you do not want your student to attend, please call the High School Office.

Hello DKS Families,
It really was great to see our Panthers back at school today! Hopefully, we will be able to get back into a routine soon. We do apologize for any inconvenience caused by the bus transportation delays due to the road conditions and our switch to “paved roads only”. The safety of our students is our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding during these weather-related challenges. We do anticipate having to utilize more “paved road only” days coming up. So, if you are not sure where your drop off/pick up location is, please contact the bus garage. 269-623-1515.
We will be on a “paved road only” schedule for AM and PM routes on Thursday, January 25th. If there is a need for a “delay” or “school cancellation” for any reason that decision will be made in the morning. For now, please plan for Thursday AM/PM to be “paved roads only”
Thank you,
Delton Kellogg Administration
Hello DKS Families,
Thank you for your patience and flexibility this morning. Our PM routes today (Wednesday) will be paved roads only. If you do not know this drop-off/pick up location, please call the bus garage. 269-623-1515.
Bus drivers will not release students to walk down the dirt roads, if there is not a parent waiting to pick up. If you live on a dirt road and need to make alternate arrangements, please do so.
Again, thank you for your patience. It was nice to see all of our students back this morning! And, please thank your bus driver when you see them!
Thank you,
Dr. Damico
Did you know the Detroit Lions and the United Way were founded in 1934?! Because of this, the Barry County United Way is doing a Lions fundraiser to celebrate this incredible season! With a goal of $1,934 (get it, 1934!), the proceeds will go to Youth Football Programs across Barry County. This is HUGE, especially for our new Middle School football team! Please consider participating, I know I am in! LET'S GO LIONS!

Out of an abundance of caution, Delton Kellogg Schools will be on a two-hour delay on Wednesday, January 24th. DK Daycare will remain open.
