Hi Parents,

All SEPs and report cards have been mailed home, so no need to come pick those up from the school.

All your student’s personal items were already sent home in April, so no need to come to Quest for that. 

If you ordered a yearbook, they can be picked up, curbside, at the Q1 main doors next Tuesday (5/26) and Wednesday (5/27) from 7:30AM to 5:30PM.  

If you borrowed a Quest device, it will need to be returned on Tuesday or Wednesday between 7:30AM to 5:30PM. Below are procedures for returning Chromebooks:

• Drive up the Kindergarten doors. An employee will check the Chromebook for damage. 
• If you have disinfecting wipes, please disinfect and clean the computer and cord before returning it
• Computers need to be returned with the power supply cord
• Computers need to be charged so we can check for screen damage
• Be sure to inform us of any damage you are aware of
• Fees or loss or damage include, but are not limited to: Power supply Replacement ($24.97); Screen Replacement ($131.35); Full Chromebook Replacement ($232.00)
• See the map below for more instructions.

If you did not order a yearbook, and if you did not borrow a Quest device, there is no need for families to pick-up anything next week.  Have a great summer!

About School This Week
School this week (5/18-5/22) will be much different than what your student is used to.  There will be no lessons, no videos to watch, no assignments, no worksheets, etc. .  We will solely work on our iReady Reading and Math diagnostics. Your student’s only job is to get their diagnostic assessments finished.  Some things to remember about the diagnostic:

• Please do not work on the diagnostic outside of the assigned Zoom meeting.
• Log into iReady with the QR code first, then Zoom.
• If your student does not make the necessary progress each day, your student will be invited to a second session between 12:15PM and 1:00PM.
• Please make sure to attend your iReady Diagnostic meeting each day.  Attendance will be taken. 

iReady Diagnostic Schedule
Each student will log into iReady daily (Monday – Thursday) at their assigned time.  Daily meetings will be as follows:
–Dragonflies (Brighton), use the Zoom link and log-in at 8:30
–Grasshoppers (Kenzie M, Brenlie, Bria, Miles), use the Zoom link and log in at 9:00
–Bees (Emma, Marayah, Violet), use the Zoom link and log in at 9:30
–Ladybugs (Dexter, Noah, Kenzi L), use the Zoom link and log-in at 10:00
–Butterflies (Landon, Jaxson, Wynter, Ryleigh, Leilani, Jacob), use the Zoom link and log in at 10:30
–Praying Mantises (Treyson, Stevie, Ryker, Easton, Liam), use the Zoom link and log in at 11:00

Some Daily Fun
Monday, 5/18 will be Hat Day: Wear a hat to your iReady Diagnostic meeting
Tuesday, 5/19 will be Stuffed Animal Day: Bring a stuffed animal to your iReady diagnostic  meeting
Wednesday, 5/20 will be New Name Day: Pick a new middle name and add it to your first name on Zoom for the day. It can be silly, but still appropriate.
Thursday, 5/21 will be Favorite Color Day.  Wear your favorite color to your iReady meeting. 
Friday, 5/22/2020 will be our last day of school.  We will meet on Zoom and do a fun activity with baby pictures, give virtual hugs, and say goodbye.  I’m not crying; you’re crying!

Good morning and welcome to Favorite Things Friday!  What is your favorite summer holiday or tradition?
