We hope you will help us by also teaching these important values at home. Parent involvement Research has shown that parent involvement is crucial to a child's success in school. Discovery Elementary School parents are involved with all school activities. Keeping track of our parents' volunteer time helps us demonstrate our family commitment and involvement to the community and to institutions that offer funding for educational programs. Each year, Discovery Elementary students are involved in a service project that helps the community.
Students help in choosing and organizing the project.
We also take responsibility for neighborhood clean-up during the school year. We believe in celebrating learning and family. Holidays are typically celebrated outside of school hours, in the evening or over the weekend, with activities designed for families. Students may donate a book to their classroom library in honor of their birthday. Donated books are labeled with the donor's name and birthday, and the student will receive a certificate and recognition in the newsletter.
