Non-Discrimination

The San Marcos Unified School District is committed to providing a safe school environment that allows all students equal access and opportunities in the district’s academic, extracurricular, and other educational support programs, services, and activities.

Safe and Drug Free Environment

Our goal is to provide a safe and drug free environment for all our students. We actively enforce our school district's "Zero Tolerance" policy. Students who attempt to bring drugs, alcohol, or weapons to school may be arrested by the sheriff, suspended from school, or expelled for up to one full year.

Tobacco Free Environment

The staff of Discovery Elementary School recognizes the health hazards related to the use of tobacco, including the breathing of second-hand smoke. We are a "tobacco-free" school, which means we do not allow smoking in the classrooms or on the campus at any time. In addition, we provide educational information to our students through classroom instruction and activities. Our school has information available about programs that support adults who desire to stop smoking.
