I just wanted to thank all the parents who have so graciously made their YEARLY field trip donation. If you haven’t had a chance to pay your donation to the office,  please do so ON OR BEFORE Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 20th. If  you are unable to donate the $15 at this time, feel free to donate $5 for now. The cost for the bus transportation is over $700. That does not include the Hogle Zoo entrance fees. Again we have so many fun 
field trips planned, we would hate to have to 
cancel them for lack of funds. 

• Important Details:                                                                       
• We will be lining up and heading out to the buses at 8:40. We need to be back to the bus by 1:30.  will be doing a quick student count so we make sure we have everyone, then be back on the so we won’t be late for end of day dismissal.  
• If you are a volunteer, PLEASE plan on being here by 8:15 so I can give you your student list and go over any last minute details.
• If you would like to bring a younger sibling,  you will need to plan on driving your own car. In years past, the entrance fee for parent volunteers has been covered by Quest, however,  please plan on bringing funds to pay for anyone OTHER your student(s) just in case.

• Students needs to plan on wearing a RED uniform shirt that day so we can keep track of all Quest students. 

• Students need to bring a DISPOSABLE SACK LUNCH with their name on it. Please do not pack anything that will need to be heated or refrigerated as they will just be in backpacks all day.  
• Volunteers, you will need to bring some sort of bag or backpack in which to carry your assigned group of student’s lunches in. You may eat lunch with your students whenever they get hungry.
  

*I am also looking for more volunteers so if you can meet us up there or would like to ride on the bus I have 2 more spots for riding the bus and many more can drive separate! Please email me if you are able to come. 

On Thursday September 29th we will have our first Parent Teacher Conferences. Here is the schedule so far and what I have available. Please only sign up once either in September or October so that I can meet with everyone at the beginning of the year. 

Please email me if you would like to schedule a time. Thanks!

We finally heard back from the Hogle Zoo. We were not able to get Friday the 16th due to bus conflicts.  However, Our new field trip date is confirmed and scheduled for Thursday September 22nd! We will be leaving the school at 9am and getting on the buses at the Hogle Zoo to come back to the school at 1pm. So hopefully this works with some of your schedules. 

If you are able to come and volunteer please send me an email. The first 5 people to respond saying that they want to ride the bus will have the opportunity to ride with us. The rest will need to drive separately. Younger siblings can come with you as long as you drive separate and plan on paying for them. 

Please plan on students wearing red shirts and uniform pants to the zoo with good walking shoes. Let me know if you have any questions. More information about lunches and other details to come. 

Thanks!

We got a phone call this morning from Hogle Zoo stating that they have some maintenance they had to schedule for next week and they will not be accepting field trip groups until the following week. Currently we have requested to reschedule the field trip for Friday September 16th. However, we have not been told that, that date is for sure.

I apologize for the reschedule and we ask that those who were planning to come look at their calendars for the 16th and keep that date opened, and I will let you know as soon as the Hogle Zoo gets back with us. 

This Friday, September 2nd is an early 1:00 release, but it is not a dress-down day.  Please be sure that your child is dressed in uniform.  Thank you!

Parents, 

I just sent home their FIRST baggy book tonight. Mrs. Dunmeyer was so kind enough to let me try them out this year. While it is my first year doing these books as well as the students may have been nervous when I called them back to read with me they may have a book that you feel is WAY to easy or to difficult. If this is the case will you please just write on a sticky note and when you send it with your child tomorrow I will reevaluate your child’s book. Please read the parent letter and BE VERY CAREFUL with these books. As they are not mine I will have to charge a $35 dollar fee to replace her books for her. 





FIELD TRIP TIME!!
Tuesday September 6th will be our first field trip to the zoo. It will be from 9am-1pm.
 We NEED donations! We asked for $15 dollars to cover the whole years field trips. If you could please send that with your child to the office that would be appreciated. If the full $15 is not possible right now please at least pay 5 to pay for this field trip. WE WILL NOT be able to go without these donations. The cost to get a bus to go is very pricy and we will have to postpone the trip if donations are not received. Please pay the office by Friday September 2nd or online under field trips. 

 The following parents I have down for riding the bus and I have no more room for other parents unless you want to drive separate. If you can no longer ride the bus will you please email me. Your child does have to come to school and ride the bus. You can’t take your child separately with you in your car.
