Please join us for our February PTA meeting to hear from the administration about some exciting Responsive Classroom news. In late January, a Responsive Classroom consultant visited and walked through our classrooms and common spaces. We are excited to share her data and her recommended next steps at our February PTA meeting. In addition, we will share some of the ways Discovery teachers incorporate Responsive Classroom strategies in academics and social emotional lessons. We hope you leave the meeting understanding why the Responsive Classroom approach thrives in so many APS schools.

The PTA will also discuss upcoming events and have a mid-year review of the budget with some new updates.

Kindness and Bullying Prevention Meeting

At the November PTA meeting, Elise Kenney and Dr. Erin Russo presented on the topic and shared a new goal for Discovery - to reduce the number of behavior incidents by 25% by June of 2018.

Promoting kindness and bullying prevention requires involvement from all parties...students, teachers, administration, and parents (slides below). We suggest that parents review the material and look for further information in future PTA meetings. If you need to report an event, please use this form available on the Discovery website.
