April "snow" showers bring May flowers? Spring is here but it sure doesn't feel like it. There are several upcoming events in April and May, which are listed below. You can also view them on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064085161299.
The Annual Update/Registration is open for next year. Please complete this before the end of the school year. It is very helpful to get as many processed as possible before the office closes for summer break. See the included article below for more information. If your student will not be returning to Discovery in the fall, please let the office know. This is also helpful as well as we plan for the upcoming school year.
April weather continues to be chilly in the morning. The first recess is at 9:00 am, so having appropriate attire is important. We know it is hard to dress for each part of the day, but we continue to encourage layering. This allows your child to be warm during the cool mornings, yet comfortable as it warms up during the day.
As students begin to see the end of a school year in sight, it is important to remind them to give their best effort up until the last day of school. We've had a great year thus far, so let's finish strong!
Mr. Fischer, Principal

The 2024-25 SFSD Parent Calendar is also attached below.
It’s that time of year! It’s time to complete your student(s) 2025-26 Annual Update/Registration for the next school year - this is required for all students. You will review/update your household and contact information. You will also give your student(s) permission to be included in school publications (school pictures, social media, etc.), go on field trips, and be included in other SFSD photos and videos.
Login to your parent portal and select "More" on the left-hand side. Scroll down and select the "Annual Student Information Update" link. It is recommended that the Annual Update/Registration is completed on either a desktop or laptop computer (no cell phone or tablet). Instructions are below.
If you haven’t already done so, complete the district’s online registration at https://www.sf.k12.sd.us/page/school-registration and submit required documents: address verification, birth certificate, and immunizations.
This is a reminder that there is NO SMOKING on school grounds. Please keep this in mind during morning drop-off and after school pick-up. The possession and use of all tobacco and vapor products, whether synthetic or natural, and regardless of nicotine content is prohibited on District property. This includes buildings, grounds, parking areas, and sidewalks surrounding buildings.
