Class of 2025

Greetings!

Following our first ever virtual fly-up day, our next virtual event for the Class of 2025 is our Delta Family Night.  Due to current conditions these will look a little different than normal this year but we hope the information is helpful and look forward to engaging with you in this year's format. 

Step 1: Parents/Students please watch the recorded Zoom video of our Delta Family Night AND our Delta Virtual Tour. 

Step 2: Review all of the documentation below, and print if desired.  The following are documents usually handed out at our family events.

COLLEGE CLASS LIST This document shows the current college courses we offer at Delta, which we are continually evaluating and updating to better serve our students.

DELTA GRADING POLICY Delta uses a standards-reference grading model.  It is a little strange at first if you have not been assessed in this way, but the end result is that students are based on their understanding of the required learning standards.  Final grades do translate to letter grades and colleges are familiar with how grades work at Delta.

DELTA MATH PATHWAYS Delta follows an integrated math program.  This document will show you the normal paths students will follow based on their initial math placement.  Math placement is based on MS courses, grades, and teacher recommendations.

DELTA DRESS CODE Delta has a slightly more strict dress code than other schools, as we try to model a more professional environment.  However, on a normal day you will see students in jeans (non-ripped), and a t-shirt or hoodie.  

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS We have put together answers to many of the most frequently asked questions for families.

Step 3: We have several medical forms required for all students (and some on an as-needed basis).  Please submit this documentation either by dropping it off at the school, sending it via email to corina.schirmer@thedeltahighschool.com, or by sending it via mail to Delta High School, 5801 Broadmoor Blvd, Pasco, WA 99301.  If sent in the mail please send an email to Mrs. Schirmer to let her know the documents are in the mail and we can be looking for them at the school.  Thank you!

Questions?  Below are answers to questions posted by parents/students.  For questions specific to your child please feel free to contact someone at the school directly via email:

ANSWERS TO YOUR POSTED QUESTIONS:

Does Delta have a cafeteria where students can buy food? Yes!  We have a great cafeteria with many lunch options every day.

Can my child walk to his boundary HS and get the bus from there to Delta?  Yes! If you live close to your boundary school your child can walk there and then catch the "Delta Shuttle" (it's a school bus).  If you do not live close enough to walk you can ride your normal bus to your home high school and then jump on the Delta Shuttle.  (RSD students also have the option of a free transit pass which many students enjoy.)

What are the school hours the students will attend?  School begins at 8:30 am and ends at 3:00 pm. We are about half an hour later than most of the large high schools (for transportation reasons).
