We will NOT be having regularly scheduled Kindergarten classes the first week of school (Aug 16-21). Instead, we will be giving each individual student an extensive test to help us better assess where your child is academically. We use this information to customize each child’s education and to challenge them at their current level in reading and math.

You can sign up for your child’s testing appointment now: Kindergarten Testing Appointment

Hello, Quest Families!

The State has an amazing program called Kids Read Now! This program allows our students, Kindergarten through 3^rd Grade, to select FOUR FREE BOOKS to read during the summer (they’ll be shipped to your house). The intent is to encourage reading during the summer months and to help students maintain their reading skills. If you would like to opt out of this program and not receive four free books, please email Susan Goldsberry (sgoldsberry@questac.org) and let her know you’re opting out. Orders will only be fulfilled once we have indicated who is participating and who has opted out, so we need everyone to either select books or reach out to Susan. Please click here for an instructional video on selecting and receiving these books. Please select your books by Friday, May 19^th. Thanks for all you do. Happy summer and happy READING!

Science: This week our class observed an interesting experiment that uses the heat of the sun. We discovered that a car in the sun gets hot enough to melt marshmallows and chocolate to make a sticky treat called a s’more!

Here are some summer reading programs to keep the momentum going and help prevent the “summer slide”! (Click here to have access to the links)
