Dear Delton Kellogg Families, We understand that this will come as an inconvenience, and we do apologize, but we are writing to inform you that we will be calling a half-day of school on Monday, April 8th. We will be following our regular half-day schedule. This decision has been made in light of the upcoming solar eclipse, with a peak time expected around 3:11 pm. Our number one priority is student safety, therefore we made the decision to NOT have our buses running their PM routes during the peak of the eclipse. Our number one concern was distracted drivers on the road and students exiting the bus safely. Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority and we will always err on the side of caution. Additionally, while witnessing this natural phenomenon can be an exciting and educational experience, viewing the eclipse without proper eye protection can be harmful. By ending school early, we aim to allow everyone the opportunity to safely observe the eclipse with their families. As it is the first day back after spring break, it is important for us to reach our 75% attendance threshold so as not to have a makeup school day in June. Thank you for your understanding and support. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact central office. A few more notes: DK Daycare (Panther Clubhouse) will be open for the half-day Spring athletic coaches will communicate with their teams the plan for Monday
