Dear Discovery Families,
I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy.
We will maintain regular school office hours until June 10th. Starting June 11th, our summer office hours will be Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
This year, we ask that all students read three or more books (chapter books/novels) of their choice over the summer. Rewards will be given to students who read the books and pass the Reading Counts tests when we return to school. More summer reading information is available on Discovery’s website.
At this time, Lifetouch, our Yearbook distributor still has not shipped our school’s yearbook order due to Covid-19. Our PTSA has been communicating with representatives from Lifetouch. As soon as we learn when our orders will ship, we will let everyone know when yearbooks will be distributed.
We will keep our Explorers informed as to when school will start. Tentatively, our annual “Meet the Teacher” event is scheduled for Thursday, August 6th and students are set to return to school on Monday, August 10th. Of course, these dates may change. We will let you know if there are any changes to this schedule.
It was really a great joy to see our Explorers once again during our drive-thru and wish them a great summer. We also want to wish our 8th grade students much success with their transition into high school.
That’s all the news for now. See you all back at school in August!
Sincerely,
Dr. Gloria Fernandez

Discovery Middle is partnering with other stakeholders to integrate the arts into all content areas. According to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, arts integration is defined as, "an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. Students engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject area and meets evolving objectives in both."
