We have just received an update that The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (DSNAP) is back up and accepting preregistration. DSNAP provides eligible low- to moderate-income households who do not currently receive SNAP benefits with help buying groceries due to lost income or damages following a disaster. It’s very easy and takes about 5 minutes to complete. The food stamp program for disaster relief has not been fully initiated yet, however, preregistering can assist in expediting the process once approved. To preregister go to, http://www.dcfs.louisiana.gov/page/dsnap-registration. Once there, follow the prompts to preregister.

4/15/21 Dear Discovery Parents and Guardians, Current weather conditions are severe and came on abruptly this morning. Take your time and stay safe driving to school. Tardies will not be counted this morning at any campus. Loyola Campus is without power as of now. It was restored early yesterday and went out within the last 30 minutes. We do not have an estimated restore time yet. We will message you when power is restored. Students arriving by bus will be accepted into Loyola campus. Students arriving by car should stay home until notified of power restoration. If power is not restored in a reasonable time, we will notify families of next steps. Hopefully it is dry this afternoon as predicted. Stay safe and weather aware. Discovery Administration

The Loyola Campus has a widespread power outage and the building is using a backup generator for partial emergency power.

All High School students will stay home tomorrow and attend all classes online (synchronously) following their regular class schedule. Vintage Campus has power outages throughout all of the buildings from blown ballasts. Electricians will be working tomorrow to restore electricity. Vintage internet connectivity on campus is down due to the widespread issues with power. All 5th-8th grade students will stay home tomorrow and attend all classes online (synchronously) following their regular class schedule.

Notice of Admissions Lottery Protocol. Updated on March 15, 2021. https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/1169637/Lottery_Protocol_3.15.21.pdf

Parents: We are busily preparing for the 2021-2022 school year. If you have not already done this, it is time to log on to On Course and complete the mandatory re-enrollment form. The form is quick and easy to complete. It should take less than 5 minutes. Re-enrollment holds your child's seat and allows us to determine the number of available seats at each grade level as we prepare for the lottery. Even with an unusual year, we are a high demand school. We have 2,600 applicants for 400 seats. We want to thank you for your patience, support, and agility in this most unusual year. With vaccines and lower virus numbers in Jefferson Parish, we are planning and hoping that next year will be an ordinary school year. Thank you for trusting us to educate your child(ren). With HEART, Dr. Glaser
