There will be NO TUTORING this week due to conferences. Please plan on resuming tutoring next week. I will email you directly if your child is in need of tutoring for a particular skill.

Tomorrow will be our last full day of school. Plan on early dismissal for Wednesday and Thursday. There will be no school on Friday!

I’m looking forward to meeting with all of you! 🙂

Dear Quest Families,

It is that time of year for our annual BESST Realty Food Drive. We love participating in this event because it helps so many people in our community. We will be collecting canned food donations until Wednesday, November 3^rd. Quest students will also have an opportunity to bring 5 canned food items on Tuesday, November 2^nd to participate in a dress down day.

Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up on Wednesday, November 3^rd and Thursday, November 4^th. The elementary parent teacher conferences will be scheduled through your child’s teacher.  The jr. high will have on-campus conferences on Wednesday and virtual conferences on Thursday.

This Is the Place Field Trip Information

In preparation for our 4th grade field trip on Tuesday October 5th, there are a couple things we need to make sure everyone is aware of. 

Students and the chosen class chaperones need to be ontime (8:25am) to school that morning. Chaperones, please pay your admission fee at Quest ($5). The bus will be loaded promptly at 8:45am. We will be traveling by bus to This Is The Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City. Since the bus ride is about an hour long, students are allowed to bring a book or small cards to play with on the bus. NO ELECTRONICS — including cell phones will be permitted. Cell phones will not be allowed because they can’t be safely monitored by teachers. Please go over with your student proper bus behavior before that morning. We should arrive at This is the place around 9:50-10:00am. 

Parents, if you are driving up and meeting us there, you will need to park in the normal parking lot and pay your park entrance fee before going in. Please arrive before we do. If your student rides with you there, they will be marked absent from school that day and will have to pay the park admission fee to enter.

Students will still be required to wear their school uniforms on the field trip. Students will also need to bring a light jacket or hoodie with them as we will be at the base of the canyon and it tends to have chilly mornings. They may bring along a small water bottle as well. Each student will also need a backpack that day to hold their jackets, lunches and water bottles. If they ordered school lunch they would receive it that morning to carry. If they are bringing home lunch, make sure to bring it (students will not share food).

We will be reloading buses at 1:00pm and will arrive back at school at about 2:05pm. Your students will be back in time for the normal after school pick up. 

Also if you are still willing to pay the $3 student donation, please pay online or to the office A.S.A.P. 

We hope for a fun day with all of our students. 

Thanks 

The 4th grade teachers

Our class worked so hard this week to earn our class party. Hooray! They got it done! I am so proud of them. This is such a great group of kids. We have decided on a Read-a-Thon party next Friday, September 24. Your student is welcome to bring ONE treat and ONE drink from home along with ONE blanket or pillow that can be carried easily under their arm.  A couple of things to keep in mind.
1. The drink MUST have a cap on it.2. The treat is ONLY for your child. Please don’t send a class set of treats.
The link below will take you to the permission slip for our Class Party and a place to sign saying you understand the expectations of our party.

PERMISSION FORM

Our first field trip will be Tuesday, October 5th, 2021. We will be going to “This is the Place Heritage Park” in Salt lake city.

I have attached a google form with information that you will need to fill out for your child. I have attached part of the form so you can read about it in advance before filling out the form.

FYI I need a form filled out for each of my students before they can attend our field trip.

Field Trip Permission Form

INFO Sneak Peek::::

A bus will take us to the park from Quest at the beginning of school and bring us back to Quest that afternoon. The suggested donation will be $3 per student to cover all expenses for this field trip. Please pay your funds to the office or online before Sept 27th so we can get a good count.
Also, please indicate on this form if your student is going to attend and what they will be doing for lunch (whether it’s home or school lunch)
Also, we will be taking four chaperones to attend with each class. Chaperones chosen will ride the bus with us and have a group of students they are in charge of throughout the entire field trip. The chosen chaperones will need to pay the Quest office a $5 field trip fee. Please indicate if you are willing to attend and pay the chaperone fee and I will be randomly selecting the 4 lucky chaperones. I will let you know who is picked.

Please Note: Younger siblings are not allowed on the field trip since we will be taking the bus and do not have room for them to attend.

Picture Day is Tuesday, August 31st, 2021. Students will need to wear their uniforms. This will be their yearbook and badge photo.  CLICK HERE to preview packages and prepay online!

Back to School Night is Monday, August 16th, from 6:00-8:00. I am looking forward to meeting all of you!! We will be going over a few things that will be helpful throughout the school year.

THINGS TO DO NOW: REFLEX PRACTICE! -Practice MATH FACTS during the Summer!!! You can use your Reflex account and earn a “GREEN Light” everyday! 😉 I will be email you when your child is added to these programs so they can begin to get a head start on learning before we return to school.

BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING….

I am trying to catch you before you buy your student a new backpack. Don’t waste your money on a backpack because you don’t need them in my class. Students rarely take anything home because, for the most part, our class is digital. Students may bring a small lunch bag. This doesn’t come in a backpack, only the lunch bag. If your child wants to bring a small object to play with at recess, they can bring it in a small bag. I understand that some students have phones they use after school or medical supplies, and those need to be brought in a small bag/backpacks. We don’t have a space for storing big backpacks.

Our classroom supplies fee is $25 and can be paid at the office on Tuesdays, online, or on Back to School night. I am excited to get to know you and your kiddo. We are going to have so much fun! Email me any questions you have. Please have your student practice math facts, play Reflex, and read for 20 minutes everyday before school starts.
