We are heading off campus-YAY!!! Our first field trip will be Thursday, October 6th. We will be going to “This is the Place Heritage Park” in Salt Lake City. 

DETAILS: We will be taking school buses to and from the destination. We plan to leave Quest Academy at 8:35 and arrive back around 2:30. Students will need to bring a small backpack that would hold a small plastic water bottle, light jacket, sunscreen (applied before arriving at school), and a small book or cards to read/play on the bus (optional). No cell phones, electronic devices are allowed on our field trip. All pictures will be taken by me or a chaperone and shared on the BLOG afterwards.

FEE: The donation cost is $5 per child. Please pay this at the office or online here: ONLINE PAYMENTS marking “other” and typing Clark field trip. Please pay this fee before Friday Sept 30th.

CHAPERONES: FOUR LUCKY PARENTS will get to accompany us on our field trip. I will randomly select the lucky chaperones on Friday, Sept 23rd. Chaperones will need to pay the Quest office a $7 field trip fee and bring their own lunch. NOTE: No additional people (younger or older family/siblings) are not allowed on the field trip. You will need to ride the bus with us and stay with your assigned group.

LUNCH: Students can bring their lunch from home or order a school lunch sac lunch. There will be two lunch options, an uncrustable or a turkey sandwich. Additionally, they will need to order chocolate or white milk. School sack lunch count is due Friday, Sept 23rd. No late lunches can be added to the count after this date.

If you would like to attend but are not one of our lucky chaperone winners, you may still attend. If you would like to meet us at the park, pay the regular admission fee, and be there at the same time we are, you may attach to your kiddos group. If you choose to drive your child to the venue, they will be marked absent and will need to pay the regular admission fee as well.

1. To enhance and assist in the education of all students attending Quest Academy Charter School.

3. To serve as a liaison to encourage and facilitate communication between families and the school’s administration, staff and Board of Directors.
4. To be a vehicle for fundraising to help meet the previous objectives

 Summer Reading

Barnes & Noble.  This is a great program because all the students have to do is read 8 books, record the title & author on a journal & take the journal into the store once completed & they get to choose a free book.  They’ve changed it a bit this year, only accepting the journals in the month of August but they’ve also given a great list of books to read for the summer by age group.  I would appreciate you posting this on your blogs when you have time.  https://www.barnesandnoble.com/h/summer-reading-lists?list=kidsbrages-0-7
