It has come to my attention that those of you who signed up for the e-mail alerts are not receiving the updates for many hours after I actually update the blog. I apologize for this, but actually have no control over when Google or Blogger send my updates. If you don't mind getting the information hours after I post it, by all means feel free to wait. However, if you feel you need the information earlier (say, you want the review questions the night before the quiz) you may actually have to log into the blog to see them. Thanks.
School Pictures: School pictures will be taken for the yearbook this week. I apologize for the late notice, but they were only scheduled last week. Every Discovery School student MUST have their picture taken for the yearbook, even if they do not want to purchase an individual photo packet later (information on the packages will be released soon). Here is the schedule:
