Principal Picture

Hello Explorer Family!

What an amazing week it has been. Your students continue to follow the expectations that have been set forth and are doing an amazing job creating a positive learning environment. Please continue to celebrate your students and the successes they are experiencing and having. Next week our first round of state testing starts.  Below is the testing schedule. Students are able to dress down on the day of their tests. Students who bring their laptop ready to test will receive a wristband for a free dress down day the following day as well. Please encourage your students to do their best on this exam and to take it seriously. Students that score a level 3 or higher on either test will receive an ice cream party. Those that score a level 2 will be given a treat during lunch. We are very excited to witness the high levels of achievement that our students will achieve on these exams.

Monday: 8th Grade Reading and 6th Grade Math (8th and 6th grade will dress down)
Tuesday: 7th Grade Reading and 8th Grade Math (7th and 8th grade will dress down)
Thursday: 6th Grade Reading and 7th Grade Math (6th and 7th grade will dress down).

Let's make it another amazing week at Discovery.

Your Principal
