Hello everyone. In light of the recent devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, DHS and NCHS have begun collection efforts to bring supplies to help. We will be partnering with Watauga High School, where we will be bringing the donated supplies. All supplies will go directly to the Watauga community. Starting Thursday (10/3) there will be 3 boxes at the chalk talk, one for clothing, one for canned foods, and another for any other donated items. Please donate if you’re able, even the little things will make a difference. If you have any questions ask me or Mr. Whitener. Thank you, Bryson Smith

Due to All County Band being held on Nov. 15th, we are going to host our fall BBQ on Friday Nov. 8th. New tickets and forms will be sent out. Take care.

Tardies are starting to pile up and every 3 unexcused tardies count as an unexcused absence. As we prepare students for life, employers will expect their employees to show up on time. Our Fall BBQ fundraiser is on Friday October 11th. Information about this was shared this past week. Please contact Ms. Kellogg at deborah.kellogg@n-ccs.org if you have any questions about it.

This is a teacher workday and students wishing to participate will need a ride to and from campus at these times. A new interest form will be sent out in the next couple of weeks. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and I hope that everyone has a terrific week. Take care. #DiscoverU #HandleHardBetter

Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow, Friday September 27th due to a scheduled teacher workday. I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend.

We had a wonderful Park Day today. What a perfect day for us to grow as a family and learn more about one another. #DiscoverU #HandleHardBetter

Good afternoon Discovery family. I hope that everyone has had a wonderful weekend. Below are the announcements for this week. Due to the potential for bad weather this past Friday, we moved our Park Day to this coming Friday September 20th. We will use the permission slip that was already sent home. If you do not want your child to attend this Friday, just let us know. Some of the Learning Labs have changed so please be sure to check your schedule to see if the location has changed. Along these lines, Ms. Darden's classes will now meet in the lab in the science building instead of the media center. As the school year is now in full swing, please make note of the Academic Support (aka tutoring) days that our teachers offer after school. Barham - Monday & Thursday Crosson - Monday Kellogg - Most days except if she has an after school meeting; she puts the weekly schedule on her board Scronce - Wednesday & Thursday Ward - Thursday & Friday Our Fall BBQ will be Friday October 11th. More information to come about this. The following is our Enrichment schedule for the week: Monday & Tuesday - Enrichment, Wednesday - SEL, Thursday - Family, and Friday - Park Day. Please remember that giving back to others is a big part of who we are at Discovery. Therefore, we have a requirement of 150 hours of Community Service. Students, make sure that you are checking your email regularly because we send out multiple opportunities each week. You should get 50 by the end of your freshmen year, 100 by the end of your sophomore year, and 150 by the end of your junior year. Therefore, you shouldn't have to worry about it at all your senior year unless you're shooting to get 200 so you can have a community service cord for graduation. Thanks to Ms. Arditti for putting up an ACT Word of the Day up on the Announcement Board at the crosshall. I encourage students to look at this everyday to build your vocabulary. Students, if you go out the gate next to the science building, please make sure you close it behind you. Safety is a top priority for us. Ms. Kellogg is offering a parent meeting for all of her math classes on Thursday September 19th at 6:30 in the media center. I encourage all parents to attend this so they have a good understanding of Ms. Kellogg's expectations and how her classes run. The Character Awards for this week can be found at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1meqASdd0o06dXrl0MbDs1QKGbY-r_dNu/view?usp=sharing. I hope that everyone has a terrific week.
