3/24 DJOD lottery protocol: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/632681/DJOD_Lottery_Protocol.pdf
With the order from Governor Edwards to close K-12 public schools and limit large public gatherings effective Monday 3/16/2020, our large public admissions lottery scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, 2020 will be impacted.
The lottery will be conducted remotely with our lottery team, but will be closed to the public. Due to privacy laws, we are unable to broadcast the lottery on Facebook Live or any other broadcast system.
The lottery team is committed to working diligently after the lottery to email all results to parents by 3/25.
We look forward to seeing and greeting our large pool of applicants each year and apologize for any inconvenience. Discovery is following the advice from the CDC, state, and district to keep our community safe.
After you receive your placement or wait list status, our Admissions Team will be available via phone or email to answer any questions during the coming weeks.
With a Healthy HEART,
Dr. Glaser and the Discovery Admissions Team
