Welcome to all parents and students to what promises to be a fantastic school year!. I am very excited to be your full time assistant principal at Discovery School, and it is my hope that as the year progresses you will get to know the staff, the programs and the policies we offer in Discovery School.

It is the goal of the staff at Discovery to work with you to create a rich learning environment for our students. Student success is a shared responsibility between the school staff, students and parents. Our staff of highly qualified professional educators and support personnel is committed to providing our students many opportunities - both inside and outside of the classroom -for high caliber and quality learning, continual growth, leadership opportunities, and achieving at a high level of excellence!

It is a very exciting time at Discovery School. Our campus has never looked better, and our teachers have been working hard in preparation for the beginning of school. Children will be excited as they make new friends, embrace new challenges, and use the new facilities that have been purposely built and redesigned for their educational needs.

It is my hope that we will all meet any challenges with determination and excitement and celebrate all that makes everyone special. Education is a joint venture between school and home. As we work with our students to help them learn about the world around them through the prescribed curriculum, we very much appreciate the support that parents give their children at home as they strive to reach their learning goals. The foundation of a successful school is the cooperation between the students, staff, parents and community. Parents are a vital part of the Discovery School Community. Your contributions are invaluable to the school through volunteer time and support of school activities.

We look forward to a very positive and productive year together!  We extend a special, yearlong invitation to our parents to join us at school activities and events whenever you can.

I look forward to working with you and developing a relationship that will assist in the growth of your child/children.

Sincerely yours,

Ms. Cristiana Banegas

Elementary Assistant Principal
