Levy funding plays a vital role at Discovery, supporting the staff, programs and services our students depend on every day from classroom learning and student supports to activities and safe, welcoming school environments. With the February 10 Special Election approaching, we are sharing more about how levy dollars directly impact our school and community. 

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Family Cocoa event on Saturday and for your generous donations to the food bank and staffroom. It was wonderful to see so many of you and have the chance to connect! This month, our schoolwide focus is on perseverance. Students are talking about ways to push through challenges, stick with difficult tasks, and keep working hard in their learning even when things feel tricky. These skills are so important both in and out of the classroom.

I often think about how tricky it is to navigate healthy screen usage and making sure that you all have enough support in this area! Recently I came upon this article with some excellent tips for managing the emotional breakdowns that can happen over screens.  I hope you might find it helpful!

Hello Discovery families! Starting next week, we will be learning through our social/emotional curriculum, PurposeFull People, about the character trait of Perseverance. Our students will be doing different activities for the next four weeks with their teachers and in the lunchroom.

We hope you’re having a great week! We’d love to remind you about our PTSA Family Cocoa event on January 31. We hope you can join us for this fun and cozy community gathering and look forward to seeing many of you there. Thank you to all the families who joined us for our Kindergarten Information Night; it was wonderful to connect and share more about our school community. If you were unable to attend or would like additional information, please feel free to reach out to our registrar, Megan Mayfield, at MayfieldM@issaquah.wednet.edu.
