Dear Discovery Families,
This Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to share how grateful I am for our Discovery Elementary community.
The recent storm has been hard on many of us, and I know some families are still recovering. Even during tough times, I am amazed by the kindness, strength, and care I see in our students, families, and staff every day.

Hello Discovery families!
Starting on Monday, we will be learning through our social/emotional curriculum, PurposeFull People, about the character trait of Gratitude.
Our students will be doing different activities for the next four weeks with their teachers and in the lunchroom.
In the link below is a newsletter that gives your family activities to understand and practice qualities of what Gratitude means. Enjoy!

Members of the School Board want to hear from you about the 2024 School Modernization and Construction Bond and what’s next. The bond measure received just over 50% approval but fell short of the 60% supermajority needed to pass. The School Board has scheduled two listening sessions, and the district is launching a ThoughtExchange to gather input from students, staff, families, and community members.

We are reaching out with a midday update to ensure that you have the latest information in a timely manner. We are working today toward the goal of opening most of our schools tomorrow, Tuesday, November 25. Holly Street Early Learning Center will remain closed Tuesday due to storm damage. Progress updates enclosed; we will update you again by 5 p.m. today.
Of the 900 people who have participated in a ThoughtExchange about the 2024 School Modernization and Construction Bond measure so far, 75% of those participants are students. The ThoughtExhange is one of several ways that the School Board and district leaders are asking for community feedback about the bond, including two listening sessions; and a follow-up meeting of the Bond Advisory Committee.
