Hello All!
We need your help in kindergarten. It is hard for us to teach our little ones to use the crosswalk when we see adults not using it. Please help us spread the word to those that pick up our kindergarteners to ALWAYS use the crosswalk. Also, please pull as far forward as you can when picking up your students. If you need to get out of your vehicle for any reason please park and use the crosswalk. 
Thank you so much for your help!

Enjoy these fun videos by Dr. Dave and Ms. Angelee: Quest Annual Fundraiser and How Many Items to Sell? 

Quest Families,

We are excited to kick off our POQA fundraiser! Your child has been given a booklet with information about the items for sale; journals, notebooks, sketchbooks, and wall art prints that have been designed by global artists. There is also an insert that has Quest specific items designed with our own Rams Head Spirit Logo. This fundraiser not only earns money to fund our school activities, but it helps to build schools worldwide. So far five schools have been funded in Ghana, Laos, Guatemala and Mali because of fundraisers just like this one. Art can change the world!

As an incentive each and every item sold will qualify for your child to come claim a prize. These will be given out by POQA only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week the fundraiser is running. This fundraiser will run until September 13, when all forms and money will need to be turned in. Visit our school Facebook page to view a short video with our own Ms. Angelee and Dr. Dave for information from the kick off assembly. We also encourage you to visit the companies website at www.DENIK.com to read the story behind the company, and the amazing things they are doing to support artists and build schools.

We thank you all for your amazing support,

POQA

P.S. Students are welcome to keep their complimentary notebook.

This is just a reminder that this Friday is a short day and $1.00 dress down day. Our AM kindergarten class will end at 10:30am. Our PM kindergarten class will start at 11:00 am and end at 1:00 pm. Below are the guidelines for dress down Fridays: 

On dress down days, students are still expected to dress in a manner that positively impacts the learning environment. Clothing must be modest, tasteful, and it must not compromise safety standards for our students. The following standards include:

• Shorts and skirts need to be consistent with QA Uniform Policy
• No tank tops
• No baggy pants
• No bare or stocking feet
• No open toe or heeled shoes
• No clothing which displays obscene, vulgar, lewd, or sexually explicit words, messages or pictures
• No clothing that exposes bare midriffs, buttocks or undergarments
• No clothing assumed as gang related
• If questions arise, the school administration, as the Board of Directors’ designee, has the authority to determine if a student’s dress is in keeping with this policy.

We are excited to utilize the Scholastic Reading Club program in our classroom this year.  Ordering books for your children through this program gives our class points towards free books that your child will utilize in the classroom throughout the year.

Our first book order will be due Friday, August 30th.   The Scholastic Book order link is located in the scholastics tab of our class blog or simply click here: Scholastic Reading Club.  Ordering online is fast and easy, our class activation code is: R3BBJ.  Online ordering allows you to shop all the books, not just the select books in the current flyer.

Thank you and Happy Reading!!

Picture Day is Thursday, August 29th

We are so excited for our FIRST DAY of school tomorrow and hope you are too!! 

You are welcome to walk your child into our classroom for the first day of kindergarten. Beginning on Tuesday, students will go to the playground area to play until the 8:22 whistle. Kindergarten students line up by the 4 square boxes. We will show the students how to do this on Monday.

POQA invites you to meet with the other kindergarten parents for a small treat at 8:30am and 12:30 pm by the kindergarten doors. 


Please note: AM kindergarten is at 8:30am-11:00am,  Fridays at 8:30am-10:30am 
                     PM kindergarten is at 12:30pm-3:00pm , Fridays at 11:00am-1:00pm.

For AM Kindergarten we will bring the students out the front main doors. You are welcome to park, use the crosswalks, get your child and walk them back to your car. 
For PM Kindergarten we will take them to the east side of the building behind the fence until someone comes to pick them up.

Or you may remain in your vehicle and follow the line of cars along the curb. When you reach the front doors we will help your child load on the RIGHT side of the vehicle. For safety reasons, students will not be allowed to load on the LEFT side of a vehicle.
