When it becomes necessary for a child to go home due to illness or injury , a parent or guardian will be called for student pick up in the main office. If you are unable to pick your student up, they can be released to the people listed on the child’s emergency card if we are notified in advance by the Primary Parent or Guardian listed in MiStar that the student can be released to the emergency contact. Identification for the person picking up a child may be required. We will not release a student to an Emergency Contact without speaking to a Primary Parent or Guardian first.
Parents will be informed of student's unexcused absences at approximately 9:15 a.m. each day. In cases of extended absences, school personnel may require documentation to substantiate the reason for the absence. To avoid unnecessary calls, it is important to notify Discovery Middle School about your child's absences prior to 8 a.m on the day of the absence.
There are 2 different forms. The "Medication authorization for self-administration" is for inhalers and epi pens, mostly. This form allows your child to carry the medication on their person and administer it, as needed. The other form is for medications kept in the office and dosed by a trained staff member, either scheduled or as needed. This form is available on our Health & Safety Page.
The school district emphasizes the value of regular attendance in enabling students to benefit from the school's education programs. Michigan law places responsibility on each student to attend school on a daily basis, and on each parent or guardian to send their child to school on a daily basis.
