What kinds of news and community information does Delta News Web cover?

Updated

Delta News Web is a local news and community bulletin site for Delta Junction, Alaska, and the surrounding area. It mixes agency announcements (wildlife, land, transportation), school news, daily photos, event listings, and classified ads on one page. It is a place to check for local headlines and practical community notices, not a statewide or national news outlet.

Local headlines and public announcements

The top of the page carries short news items from agencies and local sources. Examples visible on the site include:

  • A BLM announcement about the October 27 opening of the winter Fortymile caribou federal subsistence hunt
  • A DOT&PF student essay contest to name the Tustumena's successor
  • An Alaska Department of Fish and Game notice about mailing annual sport fishing surveys

These are brief, dated posts. If you need the full official notice, follow the agency link rather than relying on the summary.

School news and activities

School information is a regular block, aimed at families in the Delta Greely school area:

  • Lunch menus listed by weekday (for example, chicken nuggets and green beans on Monday, grilled cheese on Tuesday), each with sides and milk
  • Sports schedules for volleyball, wrestling, hockey, and rifle, with times, opponent, and location
  • School links to Delta Elementary, Delta Junior High, Delta High School, Delta Greely School District, and homeschool programs such as Alaska Homeschool, Gerstle River, and Raven Homeschool

Schedules and menus change, so treat the posted version as the current listing and confirm with the school for anything time-sensitive.

Community items

Beyond news, the site functions as a community board:

Section What it contains
Photo of the day Reader-submitted local photos with a short caption (e.g., chokecherry fruit drawing waxwings and grosbeaks)
Anniversaries Dated anniversary wishes submitted by family and friends
Upcoming events A dated list including Mass times, prayer groups, AA meetings, Story Hour sessions by age group, and thrift store hours
Classified ads Employment and other listings, with a link to the full classifieds tab

Events are listed with date, time, and place, and the page includes links to submit events and browse more.

How to use it

  • For local headlines: scan the top posts; each is a short item with a date.
  • For family logistics: check the school block for menus and game times, then confirm with the school.
  • For community schedules: use the Upcoming Events list, and submit your own event through the provided link.
  • For jobs and sales: open the classifieds tab and use the drop-down to see all ads.

The site does not state subscription prices or login requirements on the page, so access terms should be checked directly on the site if that matters to you.
