Dear DAS Families,

We want to remind you that tomorrow is our Picture Retake Day. The picture company had to reschedule us following the hurricane closures and now our retake day falls on a dress down day. If your student will be taking a retake photo, please ensure they wear their school uniform or bring a uniform shirt to change into for their picture.

Here are the key details to know:

1. Automatic Retakes: All students who were absent or not yet enrolled on our original picture day (October 3rd) will automatically be called for retakes.
2. Optional Retakes: If your child previously took their picture but you would like a retake, please notify their teacher so they know to send them when we call for retakes.
3. Returning Picture Packages: If you received prints and are requesting a retake, your child must return their previous picture package to the photographer. Please remember to send it with them tomorrow.

Special Note: We are still awaiting the arrival of some picture packages. If you are missing your package and haven’t already contacted us, please let us know so we can follow up.

For anyone who would still like to learn more or place an order for pictures, you can do so here: https://strawbridge.fotomerchanthv.com/clients/discovery-academy-of-science/fall-retake-pictures-11-7-2024-78/optIn

Thank you!

Dear DAS Families,

We hope your week is going well! As part of our effort to keep things running smoothly during pick-up and drop-off, please review the following carline reminders:

Dismissal: Check-In with Staff Member

All cars must check in with a staff member in line to ensure your student appears in PikMyKid, even if you have both elementary and middle school siblings or get stuck in the middle school line and need an elementary student. Please be sure to check in with the staff member in the back parking lot who is assigned to check in cars. This helps ensure that your child is outside and ready for pick-up by the time that you arrive to the front.

Pet Safety:

If you bring pets along for the ride, please make sure they are secured and kept away from the windows. While we love seeing your furry friends, this is to ensure the safety of everyone, including pets, students, and staff. It also helps avoid distractions for the students during the carline.

Club and Aftercare Pick-Up:

We understand that after-school pick-up can get congested on club days. To help with this:

• Club pick-up is in the right lane only.
• The left lane is reserved for aftercare starting at 3:40 PM.
• If you are picking up from aftercare, please pull all the way up as far as you can before parking. Parking closer to the K-2 building when there is space to pull forward can cause delays and block staff members who need to exit.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation in keeping carline efficient and safe for everyone!
