From the Principal

Welcome back for the 2022-2023 school year! We had a great first day of school. Our students are awesome! It is our mission at The Discovery School to empower students to become responsible, self-disciplined citizens, to encourage a spirit of discovery and exploration, to meet local and state standards, and to be academically prepared for middle school. We have great teachers who spend hours planning and creating activities to engage our students in learning. I hope you will utilize our school website and social media accounts to stay informed about what's going on in our school. Thank you for entrusting your child to us. It's going to be a fantastic school year!
