The Lunch and Learn for freshmen and their parents and guardians will be on January 19th from 11:15 to 12:15 in our media center, and all freshmen and their parents are encouraged to attend. Parents may bring an outside lunch for their students on that day. Students may still purchase lunch in the cafeteria and bring it to the media center, or they may eat in the cafeteria after the presentation. We will talk about AP classes, SAT and ACT testing, preparing for eventual college applications, being successful in high school, and lots more. I hope you can join us. Feel free to email me with any questions. Freshmen will attend this event even if their parents cannot, but we hope to have as many parents and guardians there as possible.

Good afternoon Discovery family and Happy New Year. I hope that everyone has had a wonderful break and is looking forward to a wonderful 2nd semester. Below are the announcements for the upcoming week.
We are beginning our recruiting trips tomorrow at our local middle schools. If you know of any rising 9th grader, who may be interested in attending DHS, please encourage them to apply.
When students enter the lower building tomorrow, they will notice the window project that we have going on to improve the safety and energy conservation of our building. We are excited about this. There will be times when we will need to relocate some classes during this project but the overall distubance should be minimal. It will be very similar to the roofing project we had a few years ago.
Beginning tomorrow, we will have only first breakfast which will be 7:10-7:40. If any student is wanting a breakfast they will need to make sure to grab it during this time. We will no longer have a 2nd Chance breakfast. Therefore, our daily schedule has changed slightly. Please see the following link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y38XR2bbYdl3iMXi97_lcfYZ0S7Ozc-jr_XbRxBsnH4/edit?usp=sharing.
For this upcoming week, we will follow the schedule listed below
Advisory - Monday-Wednesday
Family - Thursday
Community - Friday
Any student with a NCVPS, CVCC online class, or a Learning Lab should report to the media center at the designated time for this class on Monday.
There will be no school on Monday January 15th in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful week. Take care.
