Hello Trailblazers!

Dear Discovery Families,


World Kindness Day is today, Friday, November 13, 2026. This day is a chance to celebrate the good deeds we see in our community and the way everyday acts of kindness bring people together.

One of the things that makes Discovery special is how often our families show kindness to our teachers and staff. A note of thanks, a moment taken to recognize someone’s extra time in a matter, or a random gesture has helped make a teacher's day. As parents, you do these things throughout the school year, and the support you give at home and at school plays a huge part in helping our students succeed.


As we recognize World Kindness Day, I want to thank you for your kindness and partnership today and every day.


Mrs. Ali Parkinson - Principal

Mrs. Jodi Dodson - Associate Principal

Spills, mud, accidents, and unexpected messes happen! Please send a spare set of clothes in your child’s backpack to keep at school. A shirt, pants/shorts, underwear, and socks can make all the difference when little mishaps happen!

Nut Free! Nut Free!

Our school is a nut-free facility to help keep all students safe. Please be sure that any snacks or lunches sent with your child do not contain nuts or nut products.

Birthday Treats Reminder Birthday Treats Reminder

To help keep all of our students safe, our school district does not allow birthday treats or food items to be brought in due to allergies. We love celebrating students, and non-food items like trinkets, small toys, pencils, or other fun items are always welcome. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe!
