Dear DAS Families,
Please refer to the information below regarding Coronavirus. At Discovery Academy of
Science we are deep cleaning our campus each evening after students leave, teachers are educating
their students about ways we can spread germs, proper ways to clean our hands before eating/after
bathroom breaks and hand sanitizer available for all students and staff in all locations of campus.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information
As you may have heard, the bay area now has three cases of Coronavirus positive patients.
DAS is closely monitoring the situation. Our first priority is student safety and well being of
all students at DAS. You can check the live updates on this
link. https://www.pcsb.org/coronavirus
According to the officials, the overall risk for Florida is low.
DAS will follow PCSB, Florida Department of Health, and CDC center for disease control
guidelines regarding Coronavirus.
We also contacted the Pinellas County Health Department and posted informative posters all
around the school building for students.
All of our teachers showed informative videos to students about not spreading diseases and
the importance of personal hygiene, including washing hands and using hand sanitizers
frequently. We have enough hand sanitizers at the school. Many thanks to parents who
donated them at the very beginning of the school year.
I have instructed a deeper cleaning of classrooms, cafeteria, restroom, and office from our
cleaning company. Our cleaning company comes each night to clean the school.
If your child shows any symptoms of virus, please contact your health care provider and
keep your student at home.

Mrs. Ranze’s Gifted Class News:
March 6, 2020
This week students started with their
vocabulary challenge. Students were
asked to go back in their notebooks and
select their favorite idea to expand on.
They were asked to put more details
into their design and seek my assistance
for labeling or questions. Students were
given a large amount of time to do this
so that we can begin thinking about the
next steps with their design. We
wrapped up our time with STEM bins.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Discovery Academy of Science 3/2-3/6 Mr. Henrie: Physical Education
This Week
Here at the South Campus of DAS we have continued our Lacrosse unit. Lacrosse is a
team sport invented by the Native Americans involving a stick with a net attached to it. The
object of the game is to throw the ball into the opposing team’s goal. This week we worked
on passing, reviewed cradling (how they carry the ball in the stick), and did some modified
friendly gameplay. We also watched two videos on lacrosse and did a worksheet. One of
the videos was of lacrosse today, the other depicted how Native Americans used to play it
hundreds of years ago.
Next Week
*Please remember to always have sneakers for PE. If your son/daughter wears
dress shoes or boots, please pack their sneakers to change into! Thank you

Next week we will continue our Lacrosse unit. We will review previous skills and work
on catching and practice shooting on the goal.
