The State has an amazing program called Kids Read Now! This program allows our students, Kindergarten through 3rd Grade, to select FOUR FREE BOOKS to read during the summer (they’ll be shipped to your house). The intent is to encourage reading during the summer months and to help students maintain their reading skills. Orders will only be fulfilled once we have indicated that every child has made their selections. Please click here for an instructional video on selecting and receiving these books. This link will also be available on your student’s class blog. Please select your books by Friday, May 3rd . Thanks for all you do. Happy summer and happy READING!
Due to an unforeseen system glitch at the zoo, our scheduled field trip for May has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 23rdby the zoo.
We know this does not give us a lot of time for chaperones to get work off. We appreciate all of your support and would love to have any of you chaperone that can.
We are going to the zoo on Tuesday, April 23, 2024. We will be leaving the school on buses at 8:45 and returning at 2:15. School lunches are provided for school lunch daily cost, please mark if you would like one for your child. If you choose to send your child with a home lunch, please make sure it is completely disposable, including the bag, and labeled with their name.
Due to high bus costs, we are asking for a $5 donations from each student. If you are able, please pay at the front office.
Please have your students wear their red uniform shirts with their uniform pants/shorts on **TUESDAY** for our Hogle Zoo field trip.
Volunteer info: Unfortunately, we learned today that all volunteers due to bus space will need to drive separately and meet us at the zoo. Volunteers will need to pay for your own entry of $21.95. We do get 5 adult tickets per class. I will let you know if you are one of the five in a later email. Otherwise, please plan to pay for your entry at the Zoo before we arrive. Volunteers must be prepared to stay with their group at all times, bring a backpack to hold lunches, and bring your own personal lunch. We ask that you do not bring siblings, so your attention is on our students. You will need to drive yourself and meet at the zoo at 9:30am with a ticket purchased. We will plan to leave the zoo at 1:15pm. At that point, volunteers are welcome to check out their children with me at the bus and go home.

This past Friday, I sent home passages with the students to practice with. It is so important to read every day and ask your student to retell you in sequence what happened in the story in their own words.
If you plan on sending Valentine’s with your child, please DO NOT write who the Valentine is TO, just who it is FROM. You may attach a store bought treat if you would like. Your child will not be able to open/eat any of the Valentine’s while at school. We will be making Valentine Bags at school for your child to collect their Valentine’s in. No need to send a box from home.
I am looking for 3-4 parents to help with our Valentine’s day party. The party will be from 2-3pm. If you can assist with the party, please email me at anelson@questac.org. I am in need of 2 parents to bring and run 1 game each, 1 parent to help with decorating cookies, and 1 parent to bring and run a small art/craft. The party will run in small group rotations.
