Absences

Birthdays
Quest’s food policy does not allow treats to be given for birthdays. The teacher will celebrate each child’s birthday in class. Students with summer birthdays will be celebrated on their half birthday.  Please do not feel obligated to send anything for your child’s birthday.  Also, party invitations may not be distributed at school.

Classroom Information 
http://qacblogs.org/emily.dixon/
This is where you can keep on top of your student’s assignments. You can access my blog from the Quest Academy website under Faculty. Parents will be required to subscribe to my blog to receive up-to-date emails and notices about classroom happenings. Also, if you have any questions, feel free to email or call me at the school.

Classroom Discipline
Students will be required to maintain a respectful presence in the classroom at all times. I believe that students achieve more when they are in a positive and safe learning environment.  My primary focus is to reward the good things that are happening in our classroom! There may be times that a negative mark is recorded, and I will privately follow up on those with the students at school. Please follow through at home with both the good and the bad so we can work as a team to help our students be the best they can be!

Tests
Tests are used as a gauge of my teaching as well as student learning. Tests are typically given at the end of each unit in math, science, reading, and spelling.

Grading Program
Grades will be updated on a weekly basis. Be sure to check your student’s progress. You can obtain a user name and password during back to school night.

Grading Policy

Students will be graded in each subject, based on total points. I will follow the Quest Academy Grading Scale:

4 – 100%-90%
3 – 89%-80%
2 – 79%-70%
1 – 69%-0%
