Hello,

Please remember that Discovery is still in session. Our last day is Friday June 26. It is really important for all students to maintain good attendance records. Even when you provide a doctor’s note, the state still counts the absence toward chronic absenteeism, and it will show on your child ‘s record when applying to high school.

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the students will complete end-of-year diagnostic tasks to assess the skills they have gained during the year. These results will be shared with the last report card.
Please make sure your child comes to school on time to complete these diagnostic tasks.

On Thursday, we are all going to our second BBQ/Field Day. This year we are going to Rahway river Park. All parents are invited to join us at the park for the day. You can find directions here.
We will all leave the school by 9:00 and the school will be closed until we come back. Please make sure your child comes on time or join us at the park. We are still looking for food donations.

A parent shared with us this opportunity for girls to participate in a bike camp (bikes can be provided if needed).

IMPORTANT: re-enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year

Discovery sent you an email asking you to upload an updated proof of address to register returning students for September 2026. We are now processing all re-enrollments. Make sure we have one proof of address for your family so your child can keep their seat at Discovery.

You should also have received an email from Newark Enrolls as charter school parents have to also register with the Newark District in order to attend a charter school. Please complete this Newark Enrolls registration as soon as possible. You can find directions HERE or you may come to the school so we can help you.

 

Help us recruit our next Fourth Graders

Invite families you know to apply at  NewarkCommonApp.org.
We are happy to give a tour of the school to all interested families.

Pick-up flyers at the school or refer people to our website.
