Mr. Patrick VanRemmen
Welcome to Discovery Elementary. Our mission is to provide instructional excellence; engaging, integrated learning; and responsive intervention and enrichment for each student every day. We accomplish this mission by providing every child with a KIND, SAFE, COOPERATIVE, and RESPECTFUL learning environment. Our team of outstanding educators delivers a high-quality curriculum with excellent instruction in a supportive and nurturing environment.
From academics to arts integration, to positive behaviors, interventions and supports (PBIS); our team strives to develop the whole child. We value social and emotional development as much as we value academics. Our goal is for each child to be safe, healthy, engaged, challenged, supported, and valued.
Delivering the best possible education for children requires a partnership between the school and the home. You as parents, grandparents, or guardians, are critical to the success of your children. We want you to be an active and engaged participant in your child’s school. Together, we will provide your children the support they need to make lasting memories as they begin their educational journey.
We look forward to working with you to ensure your child has a positive and productive start to their education in Wiliamston Community Schools.

Kindergarten and Young Fives Enrollment for 2020-2021
Due to the unprecedented recent events, we have had to postpone our in-person Kindergarten enrollment sessions indefinitely. As a result, we are asking that you scan and email, send a photo from your phone, or mail your child's registration form and proof of residency to begin the registration process.
You may send your forms to reinkep@gowcs.net or mail them to 418 Highland Street, Williamston, MI 48895. You may also fax them to 517.655.7500.
We will work with the Health Department on scheduling the Hearing and Vision Screening. But, please try to complete with your physician or eye doctor.
We thank you for your patience as we work through this process. We will be in touch at a later date to schedule a time to have you bring the rest of the enrollment materials.
Let us know if you have any questions.
