COMING SOON-END OF YEAR TESTING

PLEASE HAVE THEM HERE FOR OUR REVIEWING WINDOW.
We have end-of-year testing right around the corner.  It is very important that your children are here at school. WE ARE REVIEWING EVERY DAY! It is also important that they are getting a good night’s sleep, a good breakfast, and here on time.

All of our tests are first thing in the morning. Our testing window is April 26 – May 10.

I will let the children chew sugar-free peppermint gum or mints during the RISE test.  Research does show that peppermint helps calm anxiety in students. Please let me know if you do not want your child to have gum during the tests.

IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DONATE GUM OR MINTS FOR THE CLASS, PLEASE SEND THEM WITH YOUR CHILD ANYTIME BEFOREHAND. **IT MUST BE SUGAR-FREE PEPPERMINT**THANKS IN ADVANCE 😉

SNOW DAY WORK Feb 22nd

FROM ADMINISTRATION TO Quest Families,

As many of you are aware, there are winter warnings and advisories about today’s and tomorrow’s winter storm. The recommendation has been to avoid commuting or traveling tomorrow morning, as the roads are predicted to be unsafe. Due to these advisories and the distance many of our families and employees travel to attend Quest, students will be learning from home tomorrow. In the jr. high, students will access assignments and other learning resources via their Google classrooms—it is not necessary to login to Google Meet. Students are welcome to email teachers with any questions they have regarding their posted assignments.

Elementary students have learning packets that were sent home previously to provide learning from home in these situations. However, please watch for additional resources to come home today with Q1 students. Their teachers will be contacting you shortly via their blogs or email.

Please note that we will watch conditions closely over the next couple of days to determine student learning on Thursday (late start, learning from home, regular school day, etc.). Thanks so much for all you do. We hope your families stay safe!

For my 4th-grade students, I have sent home a packet for them to do at home. They will also complete work on-line. These are things they will need to submit or return when it is completed.

• iRead- 30 mins
• Green math paper
• Wonders- Reread My Big Brother, Jonny Kaw- Race Writing (blue paper)
• Science nearpod- on Garrett google classroom
• Vocab Kahoot – on Garrett google classroom

I sent a snow packet home in January, this can be done on Thursday if school is canceled. If they somehow forget how to login- they should have all logins at home. Students can sign in through google. (first.last@qackids.org) Also on my blog under Parent Info and student log in codes it shows how to log in to programs we use.

Thanks, this makes it so we do not have to make up the day in the summer.

Mrs Garrett

Students are able to bring a store-bought treat/candy for their peers on
Valentine’s Day Feb 14.

This is ONLY if you fill this out beforehand. CANDY PERMISSION LINK

These treats will be sent home so that parents can decide if their child can have them. Nothing will be consumed in class. Please let me know of any allergies your child may have. There are 25 students in our class. If your child brings something to pass out, they must bring enough for everyone. Please don’t label them, just sign their name. We will pass out cards/treats at the end of the day. Students may bring a Valentine’s box to collect cards/prizes. If they don’t bring one, I will have a bag for them to use.
