The Living Planet Aquarium visited us. It was so fun. The animals were the student’s favorite part.

Congratulations to our student of the week!

Parents we are getting ready to do our first STEM challenge. We need soil, pea gravel, empty 2-liter bottles (like the kind soda comes in). If you can provide any of these please have them turned in to me by Wednesday. Thank you so much!

Devon is student of the week this week. Devon is a hard working student who doesn’t let anything stand in the way of his learning. Way to go, Devon!

Student of the week – Kayliegh! Kayliegh is a sweet and kind student. Way to go Kayliegh!

We have our first field trip coming up on September 27. We are limited on chaperones, so if you are interested get signed up soon. Here is the permission form.

I am still missing about 9 parents to sign up for Bloomz. Here are instructions how to sign up in case you lost or misplaced your paper.

This week, we have homework. I will not be sending math homework at this time as we do not have workbooks. You do have a reading log. This reading log is due back Sept. 10. I am expecting 100 minutes per week. An example of a completed reading log can be found below. Please note that homework is a Personal Responsibility item and will effect student’s Personal Responsibility grade accordingly.

Parents,
Last week administration informed me that we are effectively banning hoodies. A student can still wear a hoodie, but will be asked to remove the hoodie before going in to the building. They also cannot put on that hoodie until they are outdoors. So on those chilly mornings, they are supposed to remove the hoodie prior to entering the building. My understanding is that this is a school security issue. If a student wanted to prevent someone from knowing who they were with a hoodie, or prevent a camera from seeing their face with one, it would be pretty easy.

If you have questions or problems with this issue, feel free to contact Quest Academy’s school board as this is where the policy originated.

Tuesday – we have an assembly for a fundraiser
Wednesday – picture day
Friday – dollar dress down. Bring $1 and dress down. (No hoodies – unless you tuck the hood in.)
