It’s all about the children!

At Quest Academy we believe in being an integral part of the community. We know our students will achieve more with the help and support of local businesses. We invite all interested parties to take part in assisting the rising generation at Quest Academy to succeed.

The student body at Quest Academy would benefit from local businesses in many ways. The greatest needs are as follows:

• donating time at the school by reading with students
• donating time at the school by teaching students college and career ready skills especially in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math
• opening business for field trip experiences especially in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math
• monetary donations
• resource donations–especially those resources to assist in teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math

If you are interested in helping the students at our school, feel free to see the tax-deductible donation options: Business Partnership

I just wanted to thank all the wonderful people that helped out with our field trip last week. The kids seemed to have a great time. I will be posting pictures soon. If you have any pictures from the fieldtrip that you would like to share, please email them to me.

Just a reminder that Monday (Oct. 5) will be picture retakes. Let me know if you would like your child to have their picture retaken.

I’m still missing homework for September for several students. Since my policy on homework changed midway through the month, I will only be requiring the reading calendars for September. If your child did do their extra homework, I will be giving them a prize. in October, I will start requiring students to read 20 minutes every night (reading calendar) and 10 minutes every night for homework. Please email me with any questions you may have.

Parents please do not email me at Classroom Dojo’s or on my blog. I only use class Dojo’s once every few weeks, so I am not able to get back to you as soon as I would like. Also, I only check my blog once a week for emails. I really want to get back to parents in a timely manner, so please email me at my school email: SMcBride@questac.org

The librarian is asking that parents sign their child’s library book list for the Tower of Books challenge. Please sign the bottom of this list before you return them to the library.

Just a few important reminders:

1. Thursday is our fieldtrip to the firestation. I am still waiting for a few permission slips, please sign them and bring them back as soon as possible.

2. I am turning in my book order early this month. If you would like to order Scholastic books, the book orders will be due 2pm this Friday. Please concider ordering, I get lots of free books this month if I get a minimum order again. Thank you so much for your help.

3. Don’t forget that all homework is due this Thursday! It is a large portion of your child’s grade, so please return it on Thursday.

I just wanted to thank everyone who ordered Scholastic books this month!!! I was able to reach the triple points level. Thanks to your orders, I was able to get some amazing hands on math and reading games that will benefit the kids this year. Thank You So Much!
