First Community of the year! Rock, paper, scissors. Juniors win!!
Good afternoon Discovery family. We've had two wonderful days to start the 2025-26 school year! Below are a couple of midweek announcements.
I need your help. Safety is a top priority for me and drop off and pick ups are some of the most stressful times for me. We have developed a specific procedure that helps keep our students safe. I ask that parents who drop their students off in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon to please follow them. Car riders should turn onto North Ashe Ave from 20th street. Parents will then turn right into the circle at the office, drop students off there, and students will walk from there to the gym. Parents will then turn left out of the circle to head back down to North Ashe and turn right at the stop sign. This will be the same pattern for dismissal.
I hope everyone has a wonderful evening. Take care.
