If this is your first year at Quest, please review our wellness policy regarding food in the classroom. As Halloween is approaching, parents often ask if their children can bring candy to share for their classroom Halloween party. According to our wellness policy, students are not allowed to bring treats to share. Information regarding Halloween party treats will be given to parents one week prior to the party. All parents are required to give permission for their students to consume treats during these activities.
Please note that costumes should be modest and without blood or gore. Though students may paint their faces, masks and weapons are not allowed. Anything that depicts violence is banned (knives, guns, swords, spears, etc.). If you have questions about costume accessories, please contact us. Just to reiterate, no blood, either depicted on the costume or in makeup, is allowed.
On Tuesday, November 13th, the fifth grade will be going on their first field trip to the Leonardo Museum in Salt Lake. We will be taking the Frontrunner Train to Salt Lake and back, and will be using Trax while in Salt Lake. Students will be required to meet at the Roy Front Runner Station that morning, no later than 8:30 am. We will be catching the 8:42 train to Salt Lake. Students will then be required to be picked up at the Roy Frontrunner Station that afternoon. We will be arriving at 3:16 pm. Each student will also be required to bring their own sack lunch and a backpack to carry it in. We are asking for a $5 donation to help cover the cost of the train and a workshop at the museum. Please pay the donation to either of the school offices. Parent volunteers are also needed, however, we are asking that you leave any younger siblings/children at home. We do not have a limit to the number of volunteers that can come.
Please click on the link below to complete the form indicating whether or not your student will be allowed to attend and that you understand the requirements of this field trip.
