Sunday October 12, 2025

Hello,

Please remember that Discovery is closed tomorrow Monday.

Thanks to all the families who completed their registration on SchoolMint. If you didn’t, it needs to be completed before Tuesday.

On Wednesday most of our 4th and 5th graders are invited to go to Student-2-Science in Whippany for a day of science lab activities. We are looking for 2 parents to help chaperone the trip.

Picture Day will be on Monday October 20. Students can dress for their picture!

 

We need your help in recruiting 3 more fourth graders to fill our last open seats. Please consider posting on your social media as we do not have an advertising budget. Here is our flyer.

 

On October 30, we are blocking Treat Place behind the school to hold our annual Fall Festival full of fun activities. Please consider volunteering for Trunk-orTreat or other tasks. We also need to fundraise $2,000 to pay for the petting zoo. See our letter for details.

 

Invite incoming fourth graders to apply for Discovery!

Enrollment Flyer

We still have three available spaces for fourth graders for the current school year. Please share our flyer with families around you or at events you attend. You can pick-up flyers at the office. You may also invite families to visit the school at any time. The application is available at NewarkCommonApp.org.

Consider posting on social media to help make Discovery known to potential 4th graders. Like our new pages on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok.
