*Field Trip Date Change**

Posted on March 24, 2016 by nicki.young

The bus company that we scheduled double booked so we need to change the date of the aquarium field trip. In order to keep the price of the field trip to $3 we will now be going on April 21st. We are so sorry for the problems this may cause.

Field Trip Reminder

Our field trip is tomorrow, February 24^th. We need all children at the Frontrunner Station in Roy no later than 8:15. Please drop your student off there before bringing other children to Quest. We will NOT be able to wait for a late child to arrive.
Please make sure your child visits the restroom before you leave home, the train is not equipped to handle 120 children using the restroom.
If you feel your child needs something to do on the Frontrunner, they may bring a book, cards, a small travel game or what you feel is appropriate. Please note we are not responsible for lost, broken or stolen items.
Your child needs a coat, a lunch, a water bottle and a backpack. Their backpack is their desk and coatroom for the day.
Please do not send money. We are also asking that volunteer parents not purchase ANYTHING at the Planetarium.
We will be eating lunch in the food court at the Gateway, (There is not a problem if our volunteer parents would like to purchase their lunches there.)
If you are checking your child out while we are in Salt Lake, please make sure you sign the checkout paper with your child’s teacher. Please make sure another parent will be responsible for the rest of your group.
We will return to the Roy Station at about 2:45. Please pick up your student BEFORE you pick up their siblings at Quest.

We are excited for a fun filled day!

Planetarium Field Trip

Posted on February 17, 2016 by nicki.young

Our field trip is a week away! I have most permission slips back, but I am missing a few. Please get it back to me as soon as possible.
So far I only have four parents that are signed up to go along with us. I would feel more comfortable having a few more. When we travel on the Front Runner I prefer smaller groups so that everyone is kept just a little bit closer. If you are available to come along as a chaperone please let me know. The fee is only $6 (for the movie at the planetarium) this time and it can be paid to the office. We will cover your Front Runner ticket.

-Students need to bring a backpack. In their backpack they need: a lunch, a water bottle, and a jacket. Students are also allowed to bring a book or a game to keep them occupied during the bus ride.
-Students need to wear uniforms and name badges on field trip as well.

Parents that are attending:
-Remember there is no room on the bus for parents. Sorry, we have lots of third graders. Parents need to drive separately and can carpool ride together down there. The address of the Children’s Theatre is 3605 South State Street, SLC.
-Parents need to get down to the theatre before the bus does, so you can pay your $5.00 admission at the door. They won’t seat us until all parents have paid.
-No smaller siblings can come with us on the field trip.
-Please bring your lunch

Field Trip!!

Posted on January 11, 2016 by nicki.young

We are currently planning a fun and adventurous field trip that will take place Thursday, February 4^th. We have the opportunity to visit the Children’s Theatre in Salt Lake for the production “Heroes of World War II”. The cost of this production is $6.00 per student and we are asking each student pay their $6.00 to the front office (for admission and to help with price of bus), and then give their receipt to their teacher.
This field trip is our one and only bus field trip for the year. We will be boarding the buses immediately after roll call and will need every student at school ON TIME. We will not be able to wait for late students. Volunteer parents will need to drive themselves or carpool with other volunteer parents. We will first go to the Children’s Theatre and then have lunch on the State Capitol grounds. We will also take a tour of the State Capitol after lunch. We will return to Quest Academy at 2:00. Pick up will be at normal time.
School lunch will not be available this day; so all children will need to bring a backpack with their lunch (and water bottle) inside. Their backpacks will also serve as the storage place for their coats throughout the day. There is no need to bring any money. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather the day of the field trip.
If you would like to chaperone on this trip, you are more than welcome to join us. The cost of each adult is $5.00, and will need to be paid as we enter the theater. We are sharing the theatre with another school and need to let them know the exact number of parents we will have with us. If we do not have a written commitment from you, by January 29^th, you will not be able to attend with us. Please indicate on the form below if you would like to go with us. Due to the nature of this trip and the need of adult supervision, PLEASE make other arrangements for ALL other brothers and sisters.
Please return the bottom portion of this note–Children’s Theatre Permission Slip–and pay your $6.00 no later than Friday, January 29^th; we will gladly take them before that.
