Parents,
I taught the students today about Raz Kids. We have a lot of new Quest students in our class this year and wanted to make sure they knew what Raz Kids is and how to use it for reading minutes each night. The website is
https://www.kidsa-z.com/main/Login. My teacher login is nlloyd2. You can access it through the Student Links tab on the Quest homepage as well. Any time spent on Raz Kids will count toward the daily 20 minutes of reading for homework.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Mrs. Lloyd

Parents,
Our class has been AMAZING this past couple of weeks. They have earned an electronic day this Friday. It will be after lunch from 12:30 until 12:55. Feel free to allow your child to bring an electronic item that day for this activity. I told them they are more than welcome to bring board games as well as some do not have an electronic they could bring. I am so proud of their hard work!

Parents,
I would love to invite any of the parents who were not able to attend Back To School Night to Parent Conferences this Thursday (Sept. 25). Also, if you would like to come visit with me, please let me know and I can schedule you as well. I have the following appointments available:
3:40
4:00
4:20
4:40
5:00

Thank You!

Christmas Family Portrait Event
is back at Quest!
What is it?
It is a fundraiser put on by the Technology Department to earn money for STEM Clubs this year! For example, we are going to participate in Lego Robotic Competitions, Cyberpatriot ones and more!  
How does it work?
We have invited Toni J Studios back to our school!  She is an award winning photographer and has been a photographer for over 20 years.  Sitting Fees can cost anywhere from $50-$300 depending on where and who takes your picture right?  Well, Toni J is only going to only charge $25 for her sitting fee for us, and guess what???? She is going to donate the FULL $25 to Quest Academy!  She is willing to take all of our portraits for FREE those three nights and give us that money.  She is also going to donate a percentage of the portrait sales to us!!! This fundraiser is so AWESOME because we do not have to put any money out.  It is straight profit for us!  
Step 1.  Please print the ticket (or check your child’s back pack, one should be coming home tonight) fill out the ticket and return it to the office with your child’s name and the $25 (you can put it in an envelope and your child’s teacher will give it to the office) – please write your checks out to Quest Academy.  Next, call the number on the ticket and book your appt.  (October 1,2 or 3) Please do this before Sept. 25th so we can get an idea on how many time slots we need those nights :).

Step 2.  Come and get your Family Portrait taken on the date you booked.  They will be doing them in the Q1 gym.

Step 3.  Toni J and staff will come back to Quest and you will come in to proof your portraits and order your prints.  These prints are HIGH quality and will be retouched.  The packages run from $89 -$259 and we promise you will be happy.  You can ask any of us that have used her in our past fundraisers. She has unique Christmas Cards for you to order and all of your portraits will be ready in time to deliver for Christmas gifts!!!

As easy as that right?

Look at your family portrait at home and ask yourself if it is time to update it and help Quest be able to start some engaging clubs for your children ALL at the same time!  It’s the perfect time of year to do it and for a great cause.

The Technology Department is going to provide a Pizza Party for the class that sells the most Sitting Fee’s.  Remember, to share this with your extended family as well, it is not only for Students at Quest.

Thank you in advance!  We have a slideshow up in Q1 with some samples, we also have some samples in the Q1 Mac Lab and some images on FB if you haven’t checked them out yet!
