Discovery Cove Updates

If your child will be absent for whatever reason (vacation, illness, etc.) please let us know via Procare. Not only do your messages go to the Discovery Cove teachers, they go to the office staff as well. WoW reports every absence per licensing rules and regulations. Thank you!

As the season starts to change, please make sure your child brings a coat, hat, and even mittens if the weather permits. We go outside everyday, unless it’s raining or if the "feels like" temperature is less than 10 degrees outside.

Before arrival please make sure your child has gone to the bathroom and is dressed for playing outside.

Our picture day(s) is coming up! We are sending home order forms. Everyday students along with our Tuesday/Thursday only students will have their day on Tuesday, Nov. 14th. Our Monday/Wednesday/Friday only kiddos will have their day on Wednesday, Nov. 15th. Retakes will happen January.

Our conferences are coming up! We'll be holding them all day November 20th and 21st as there is no school that week. If you're unable to make it, please let us know as soon as possible. We will work around your schedule.

Looking to get rid of old shoes? Looks no further! We’re looking to add to our dress up clothes. The kids have been loving dancing with tap shoes and playing pretend.

We will doing a signup genius each week for fresh fruits and vegetables. We are asking that these items are not washed, peeled, or cut to prolong their life. We will do that here. Every two weeks (or when supplies get low) there will be another signup genius for bulk pantry items. All pantry items need to be store bought and in the original packaging. Please no goldfish or apples, we've had too many.

Remember we are a nut-aware building. That means nothing with peanuts, almonds, or any other tree nuts.

It might be quicker for you to zip up your child's jacket, but taking a few extra minutes to teach self-help skills will lead to building self-confidence.

• Get their jacket on and off without help.
• Use the restroom and wash their hands.
• Cover their mouth when sneezing or coughing.
• Drink from a cup and open a juice box.
• Operate zippers, snaps, and buttons.
• Properly use eating utensils.
• Clean up after themselves.

Each month from Oct - May, we will be sending home a literacy packet to do at home courtesy of the ISD. Each month it will include

• 1 nursery rhyme
• 1 lesson plan (for families)
• 1 activity tracker that families will fill out and return
• Possible additional page to complete the activity
