We enjoyed visiting with you at Back to School Night and look forward to meeting with your child one-on-one for testing during their scheduled appointment. We are especially excited to begin classes the following week on Tuesday, August 23.
THANK YOU for your generous donations for classroom supplies! We couldn’t do it without you!

Whether you are new to Quest or a Quest veteran, please take a moment and view this informative AND entertaining video about the parking lot procedures at Quest. Not everything will apply since we are half day Kindergarten. Some differences for PICK UP include:
Our class will be waiting to be picked up on the sidewalk in front of our classroom.
Caregivers can park alongside the curb in front of us or park in the parking lot and walk to pick up student (please use crosswalk).
Students will take turns pointing to their caregiver and give us a “Fist Bump” before they leave with their caregiver.
Please share with anyone who will be driving your child to and/or from school: Parking Lot Procedures

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.
We’re thrilled to welcome you to our Kindergarten class and can’t wait to meet everyone! In preparation for the upcoming school year, please subscribe to our blog by clicking on “Subscribe to our Blog“ (the pineapple on the right sidebar).

The State has an amazing program called Kids Read Now! This program allows our students, Kindergarten through 3rd 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 19th. Thanks for all you do. Happy summer and happy READING!
