Healthy Snack Donations

zoom_out_map

DRE aims to have a healthy snack station for every student MAP testing so that they can choose a daily snack on test day. To ensure every student has a testing day snack, we need just over 1,000 individual snacks! Thank you for your donations. We are collecting them in the office all week!

DRE MAP Test Schedule

Our daily lunch, recess, and special area classes schedule remains the same school-wide during MAP testing. Students in grades 3-5 who take the MAP test do not test all day but have sessions that vary in length. Each grade level has identified periods of the day available to test but may only need some of the time allocated across the day. Please contact your child's teacher or Mrs. Douglas, 3-5 Guidance Counselor, with any questions.

DRE Families,

Our school will be administering the Measurable Results Assessment (MRA), a survey and reporting system designed to provide insights into our school's progress. We would love one adult from every household to participate so we can continue to learn and grow as a school community. Here are the details:

FAMILY SURVEY DETAILS

WHAT: An online survey completed by one member of each household.

● Survey typically takes about 5 minutes to complete

● Questions relate to your and your child's experiences at our school.

● Answers are anonymous--to encourage people to be honest and open, no names and other identifying information will be collected.

WHEN: The survey is now available for you to take through 5/31/2024.

HOW: The survey can be taken from any computer, smartphone, or tablet with internet access,

● Simply click on this link:https://www.leaderinme.com/s/discovery-ridge-elementary/families

DRE is competing against 5th Grade to see who can collect the most can tabs!

Fun Fact!!

1 Tab= 1 Inch Long

1,280 Tabs= 1 Pound

63,360 Tabs= 1 Mile

What does it take to help families?

136 lbs. of tabs will house a family for one night at the Ronald McDonald House in Missouri. That means, 950 lbs. of tabs will house a family for a whole week at the Ronald McDonald House!
