Have a wonderful spring break, everyone!

Don’t forget to claim your Lost and Found items before Friday, March 22nd at 6 pm, at which point they will be donated to The Clothesline for Arlington Kids (Arlington’s first free clothing store dedicated to school-aged children). 

Parents please encourage your children to check lost and found during school hours and look for the cart at the Door 1 and Door 6 during the week of March 18th. 

Do you have any clothes that can NOT be donated - stained, ripped, or has holes? 

Please donate prewashed clothing in the boxes in the front of the school. We will be transforming the textile waste into weaving during our weaving unit in Art! The box will be there until mid to late April.

What is new this year? We have a new local nonprofit vendor, R.E.A.D. Learn more about how they support reading in Arlington!

Watch this video to get a sneak preview of what the new book fair set up might look like. 

You can already pre-order your Discovery 2023-24 yearbooks. Last year they sold out, so don’t wait! 

When you visit the memory book website for the first time, you will need to register. Discovery’s School Code is 154147M. Orders must be placed by April 18th, 2024. Yearbooks will be delivered to your student’s classroom at the end of the year.

The PTA needs a variety of volunteers in both leadership and support roles. Please take a look at our volunteer page to see a full list of available jobs and choose a task that fits your skills. Help us pull off the many amazing events and programs we have planned for this school year! 

Just a reminder, in order to volunteer in the school building, parents or guardians must fill out a volunteer application every two years, and the required training is valid for three years. 

Thanks to everyone who has been showing their support as we work to keep the APS Outdoor Lab staffing in place for 5th grade Overnights. Fifth grade Overnights started for spring season but with proposed budget cuts, next year's Overnights seem unlikely.

Please keep sending emails to Arlington County decision-makers to demonstrate your support.

If you can, please join us at upcoming School Board budget meetings (proudly wearing your Outdoor Lab merch!) as well as visit School Board member Office Hours to make your voice heard. Dates and times here.
