Lower School Dismissal and Transportation Safety
In order to insure the safety of all students, carpool drivers must have their blue or green placard hanging from their rearview mirror. If the driver does not have the placard, they must go to the front office to show an ID to pick up their students.
If a parent needs to change dismissal transportation plans, we must have a documented request from a parent/guardian. Please send a note to the teacher or call, or email the office before 2:45. All notes will be copied and pinned on PK-2nd grade students. Third and fourth grade students will be given notes to show to the faculty member on duty at the dismissal site.
If a child does not have a documented request, he/she will report to their normal dismissal site.
Thanks,
The Admin Team

KDHSA Owl Shop Update
The Owl Shop inventory has come in and Sarah Verette, Owl Shop Chairperson, along with many AmAzing volunteers have been getting those orders out. If you have an issue with your Owl Shop order, please email the Owl Shop at owlshop@discoveryhsf.org. The PTO does not moderate the closed Facebook page and parent volunteers operate the Owl Shop, so emailing this way is the best method.
We will have open hours for the Owl Shop starting next week on Maine Campus.
Tuesday afternoons, 3:30-4:30pm
Thursday mornings, 7:30-8:30am
Starting the week of October 16th, students at all campuses should have PE Uniforms for PE.
