Good afternoon Discovery family. I hope you're have a wonderful weekend. Below are the announcments for the upcoming week. There is no school on Monday because of the Labor Day holiday. We will follow our regular schedule beginning on Tuesday. Tuesday will be enrichment, Wednesday will be Advisory, Thursday will be Enrichment, Friday will be Community. Remember that we will also be having Cupcake Day on Friday and we need everyone to bring in cupcakes to make this a wonderful event. Remember that you should be in class by 7:40 each morning or you are late. Also, please be sure to check your email on a regular basis as important information from staff is sent regularly. As a reminder of our car rider traffic pattern in the morning and afternoon: cars should turn onto N. Ashe Ave from West 15th street, turn right on West 18th street and then make an immediate right into the circle drive at the front office. Drop or pick up your student at the front office area and then exit the circle by turning left onto West 18th street. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend. As always, reach out if there is anything you need. Take care. #DiscoverU #HandleHardBetter

Good afternoon Discovery Family. I hope that everyone has had a wonderful summer and is excited about the start of the 2024-25 school year. This is going to be an amazing year, but remember that you will only get out of it, what you put into it. Below are the announcements for this week. The following are the drop off and pick up procedures for car riders: You will turn onto N. Ashe Ave from West 15th St, then turn right onto West 18th St and make an immediate right into the circle drive. Students will be dropped off and picked up at the top of the circle drive. Parents should then turn left out of the circle drive and make a right at the stop sign at the bottom of the hill to leave campus. For returning in district bus riders, your pick off and drop off point should be the same as last year. However, you should plan to be at your stop 10-15 minutes earlier than last year until routes are finalized. For in district freshmen students, you should be at your stop by 6:15 and then your driver will be able to tell you what time it will be on a regular basis. All students should enter the building through the gym entrance which will be open at 7:10 each morning. Students will then report to the gym or the cafeteria until 7:30 at which time they will go to Advisory on Monday. All students are able to receive free breakfast each morning. Breakfast will run 7:10-7:40. The bell schedule for the opening week can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oy3WrsjjYSbcnxfo2eJJswOExDV0X4Tduii2ZUeeMOo/edit?usp=sharing.

Junior and Senior Summit classes will not begin until Wednesday. Therefore, any junior or senior, who has 4th period Summit, can bring a signed note from their parent to leave after 3rd period.
