Discovery Details
Discovery Elementary School - January 8, 2024
Welcome Back
Reminder: No school January 15th and 24th, and February 16th and 19th.
Volunteers needed!
We want to thank the parents who have been volunteering their time to help scan cards for our Discovery Dashers Run/Walk Club. We are still in need of more help, especially on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays!
If this is something that might fit into your schedule, we’d love to have you! If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Jensen (Jensen.Jessica@westada.org) Thanks!
Kindness Week: February 12th-15th
We will celebrate kindness, positivity, and empathy from February 12th to 15th. Be on the lookout for classroom and school-wide activities! See below for dress up days to help promote a culture of kindness and understanding.
Join our Discovery Crew! We have open positions available.
We are looking to fill special education paraprofessional positions in our Extended Resource Room. The hours available are 8:15 AM-4:15 PM Monday-Friday. We are hoping to fill two full-time positions and one part-time morning position.
We also have a position available for a part-time Noon Duty on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. As a Noon Duty, you would supervise students at lunch recess between 11:45am-1:00pm.
Applications are available on the district website or call the office for additional details.
Personal Devices at School
We know many students bring cell phones and smart watches to school to communicate before and after school. As a reminder, student cell phones and smart watches should not be used during school hours. Cell phones should be silenced and put away. Smart watches may be asked to be put away by school staff if these become a distraction or are used during instruction. Thank you for your support as we help to remind students of appropriate use of personal devices at school.
Feeling Generous?
Some families have inquired about how to support the students and staff members here at Discovery. The meal donation program has ended, but you still have the ability to donate to a Discovery teacher of your choice! Families can follow the link below to connect with the "Thank a Teacher" donation program. There is an option to donate online or via check, which can be mailed or brought into the front office.
