Hello,

We are starting our last week of school!

We had an amazing BBQ Field Day last Wednesday! Thanks to all families’ donations and thanks to parents who were able to make it and join us at South Mountain Reservation!

We also had our Gratitude Breakfast during which 8th graders thanked their families and teachers, and reflected on their time at Discovery.

Thursday June 26 and Friday June 27 will be half days with dismissal at 1:00 pm. There will be no activities nor tutoring after 3:45 pm this week, with the exception of the Dance Ensemble practicing for the graduation ceremony.

Parents of 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th graders need to tell us if their child is coming back in September in order to keep their seat. If you didn’t, please answer the Parent Question on the Parent Portal, or email [email protected] and [email protected].

If you didn’t answer our Parent Survey, please do it when you receive the text or email.

The summer program for returning and new students will start on July 7. There are a few spots left. If you are interested, please contact the office or Ms. Myles at [email protected].

 

Invite incoming fourth graders to apply for Discovery!

Enrollment Flyer

 

We have seven available spaces for incoming fourth graders. 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

Reminders: 

 

Students are marked late starting at 8:20 am. We open our doors at 7:30 am for students who need to come to school earlier. We dismiss our children between 3:45 and 4:00 pm.

 

Students need to wear tops with the school logo. You can purchase these at Land’sEnds. You can find more details about the dress code here.
