We strive to touch the lives of children in a way that prepares them to take their place as citizens with high academic skills and fine moral character.

Vision for Discovery

Discovery staff will have high expectations for all.

The school will be a place where:

  • Children take their jobs as learners seriously.
  • Staff are professionals who go the extra mile to support children in this journey of learning.
  • Parents feel welcome and are given opportunities to be involved in their child's education.
  • There is an academic environment that teaches the whole child and treats children with dignity.
  • We all get better each

Attendance

If you are bringing your student in late, please make sure you come into the office to sign them in so we know your child is safe and accounted for.

If your student will be absent for any reason please make sure you let the office know so we can account for the absence. P: 616-871-1081

Transportation Changes

If there will be a change in your student’s dismissal plan, please let the office know by 3:00 at the latest, so we have adequate time to get the message to teachers.

Pants

If you have gently used shorts  or pants (size 6 and up) that you would like  to donate to Discovery, we will gladly take  them! We are in desperate need of larger  sizes for boys—8-14.

Parking Lot Reminders

Please be sure our crosswalks are kept clear of all vehicles so our families can walk across securely. If you drive a high profile vehicle, please watch carefully for our younger students who may be below your line of vision.
