- be in Discovery publications (school pictures, yearbook, etc.).

- be in other SFSD photos and videos.
Thank you - we appreciate it!
Classroom K01 got cozy with a PJ Day today! Students earned a PJ Day by meeting their Fun Run fundraiser goal of having all 24 students signed up. With today's weather, what a perfect day for PJ's!
Last week, classroom 501 embraced the beautiful weather by picking up garbage around the exterior of the school. Not only was this in honor of the upcoming Earth Day, but it's also part of the "Explorer Way" by helping to take care of this place. We are so proud of our students! #Discoveryproud #ExplorerWay #EarthDay
Thank you, girls, for helping get students’ cold lunches back to the classroom! We appreciate you! #theExplorerway #teamwork
Thank you, Discovery families! We’ve already had 50% of our families complete their students(s) annual update for next year! This is helpful so we can process as many as we can by the end of the school year.
The stats are troubling-47% of SFSD students qualify for free/reduced lunches. Their family's income is not enough to make ends meet. That makes it difficult to support school fundraisers. Operation Hope & Caring helps! Get your tickets to the SF STORM game to support schools!
Does your child have conflict resolution skills to solve everyday problems? Join us Tues, April 18 at 6pm to hear from SFSD & Avera Behavioral Health in this month's Family Forum Series segment. Watch for the link in your email. It's practical advice to strengthen families.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 18, the lunch menu has been changed from Nachos Grande to Mac & Cheese with garlic breadstick.
Do you have an incoming kindergartner? Register today!
Parents of 5th grade Orchestra students! The Memorial Middle School (MMS) Area Orchestra Festival is a concert with various orchestra students from every SFSD middle school. The festival is on Monday, April 17, at 7:00 pm at MMS. Fifth grade orchestra students are invited to attend and to perform songs they have already been practicing. This is OPTIONAL – students are not required to attend.
This is an opportunity for Discovery students to perform with other orchestra students that they will see in middle school. Discovery families are responsible for transporting their student, along with their student’s instrument and folder. Please make sure everything is labeled as there will be many students attending.
Here is the schedule the day of concert:
- 4:15 - 4:30 pm: Students should arrive for unpacking and tuning during this time to avoid MMS dismissal traffic.
- 4:30 - 5:30 pm: Students will practice in the MMS Auditorium.
- 5:30 pm: Parents should pick-up their student from practice. This would be a good time to grab dinner. Instruments and folders can stay at MMS during the break.
- 6:30 - 6:45 pm: Students should return for re-tuning and dressed nicely.
- 7:00 pm: Concert begins.
We apologize for the late notice!

Wow, check out our galaxy of stars! Explorers did an out-of-this-world job at reading for the Everybody Reads initiative! We surpassed our goal and reached 37,669 stars! Now, just because today was the last day of the Everybody Reads initiative, doesn’t mean you have to stop reading. Author of the Magic Tree House series, Mary Pope Osborne, said it best: “Reading is a passport to countless adventures.” Enjoy the journeys, Explorers!
AMAZING - look at all those stars! On Monday, Discovery reached its personal goal of reading 27,000 books! Let’s finish strong, Discovery. Keep reading, and let’s see if we can surpass our goal and read 30,000 books! #EverybodyReads2023
Wow, look at all these STAR readers at Discovery! There is one week left in the Everybody Reads initiative, so keep on reading. You’re doing great, Explorers! #EverybodyReads2023 #starreaders
SFSD would like to give a huge shout-out to our partners at Delta Dental who visit schools to complete much-needed dental work for eligible students! Cleanings, cavities, and root canals are all done in the mobile bus, so students don’t have to miss school for an appointment! You put a smile on our faces, Delta Dental! Thank you!
