Last Friday was our last dress up day for JHS Homecoming! Students and staff wore their Cavaliers or Explorers spirit wear for “Spirit Day.”
Tomorrow, September 30, join us for "Discovery Dine Out" at Ranch & Roost. Fifteen percent of all sales (dine in or carry out) goes back to the Discovery PTO. There is also BINGO starting at 7:00 pm! Bingo cards are $1.00 and there will be kid-friendly prizes.
Last Thursday was “Rainbow Blast” day! Students and staff wore as many crazy colors as they could.
Wednesday was “Safari” day! Students and staff wore animal prints or dressed like a safari guide.
The safety of our students is our number one priority. It requires everyone’s cooperation and patience. Please slow down and stay alert for children walking, biking, and crossing the street. The school zone speed limit is 15 mph. We have had several reports of vehicles driving in excess of the 15 mph speed limit - this puts everyone at risk. Do your part and slow down. We would rather students arrive late and safe - versus putting you, your student(s), and others at risk. We appreciate your help with this; thank you!
Tuesday was “Chill Dill” dress-up day for Homecoming week! Students and staff wore their best pickle green and sunglasses.
Yesterday was Oreo dress-up day for Homecoming week! Students and staff wore black and white.
There is a free one-day dental clinic for children through the age of 18 coming up on October 4.

Do you need care in October on our no school days?
During science, classrooms 404 and 405 learned about solar energy and how it can be turned into electricity. Students learned how sunlight powers solar panels and then got to see it in action by using solar power to run small fans.
In honor of the anniversary of 9/11, classrooms 205 and 206 learned about heroes - firefighters, police officers, doctors, and everyday people - who came together to support one another. Students wrote what a hero is to them and who their heroes are.
In PE today, classrooms 201 and 206 were working hard learning about soccer. We might have some future star soccer players!

The online spirit wear store will be open again in November.
Classroom K05 students have been working hard on learning their numbers! Today, they focused on the number 9. Students are holding up their favorite number from their “Number Book”. Great work, K05!
These classroom 305 students earned classroom dollars by being responsible in the classroom and by following the Explorer Way, which is take care of yourself, take care of others, and take care of this place. The classroom dollars can be used to buy different rewards. One of the rewards is lunch with the teacher! Way to go, students! #DiscoveryProud
At 8:00 am, all doors are locked except for the front main entrance leading you into the entryway. If you need to enter the school, you have to check-in at the office. There is a doorbell to the right of the office door that has a camera and microphone on it (see photos). The doorbell is similar to a home security system (ex. Ring, Blink). Ring the doorbell, stand in front of the camera, and office staff will assist you. Once entering the office, you may or may not have to present a government issued ID, so please bring it with you. Please do NOT enter the school through a side door as students are trying to enter in the morning or at dismissal. For the safety of students and staff, all visitors must come through the office.
