CHOIR PARENTS – On Monday, February 3, at 3:15 p.m., there will be a mandatory meeting in the
school Library for parents of all Choir students who are planning to travel
to New York City in June 2014 to perform at the prestigious Carnegie Hall. Information
will be given concerning the trip and payments needed, and important decisions
about the trip will be made. We need
at least one parent for each Choir student to attend this meeting.
SCHOLASTIC BOOKS! - This month your child (ren) will have the
opportunity to purchase books through the International Scholastic Book
Clubs. This is an optional activity
offered by the school, in case you want to motivate your child to read at home
and to increase their own library. With
your purchase, our library will accumulate points to redeem for more books for
the benefit of your children in our school. Order forms and catalogues were
sent home previously. The final date
to purchase the books online is February 10. The books will
arrive at the school in one single delivery, and we will distribute them to the
students according to their orders, approximately three weeks after the
purchase due date. Please email Ms. Marilis (mzambrana@discoveryschool.edu.hn
) if you have any questions.
FROM THE DPTO – PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS – The DPTO has been organized
the traditional Movie Event for Discovery School families. This year, it will
take place at NOVACENTRO on Sunday, February 9 at 11:00 a.m. for the
presentation of THE LEGO MOVIE

PASSING GRADE ACCORDING TO THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION - We would like to remind parents that the passing grade,
according to new regulations, is 70% for the Ministry of Education. Your child needs
to score at least 70% in order to avoid coming to recuperation exam/s. We
encourage you to check blogs and Engrade on a weekly basis, and to keep close
communications with teachers.
THIS IS WHAT WE WILL BE COVERING DURING THE WEEK.
A new
IXL username and password was provided several weeks ago. Students will now
have until Sunday to work on their IXL skills. I will check the IXL reports every
Monday.
