Spring pictures will be taken on Tuesday, April 16th. Thus, uniforms are not required on this day. Please note that students should still follow dress down day guidelines by wearing appropriate attire. All students, unless you indicated otherwise, will have their picture taken. A picture packet will be sent home later for you to review before you purchase.

This is just a reminder that April 12th is our field trip to SeaQuest. Both Classes (morning and afternoon kindergarten classes) meet at school at 8:30am.  The children will be dismissed at 12:00. 

Every student in my class needs to wear a red shirt.

We will need volunteers but they allow only 5 per class and no siblings. Email me if you would like to come. It is first come, first served. You will need to travel on your own to the aquarium and also cover the cost of your own admission or use your season pass. 

Important:  May 6th (Mon.) through May 10th (Fri.), we will not be having regularly scheduled class.  Instead, we will be doing end of year testing. We will be administering the two main State mandated tests, so it is extremely important that your child comes rested and ready to work.  I need ALL students to show up to be tested.  I have created a sign up account in Sign Up Genius.  As soon as possible, please schedule a time that works best for you to bring your student into our classroom for testing.

POQA is offering an additional way to meet your 30 volunteer hours for the school year.

You can donate $5 per volunteer hour needed.  This donation will be used to install stamped cement along the front of the school where the grass struggles to grow.  

POQA is also looking for recommendations for a person who lays cement and a person who can move a tree. Send referral information to Kitty McKissen at poqavp@gmail.com. 

If you are unsure how many hours you have, refer to an email you received the beginning of the month from Help Counter or contact Catherine Sumner at csumner@questac.org  

Please take your cash or check donation to Q1 or Q2 office.  If you need a receipt, let the office ladies know and POQA will gladly write one for you. Thank you for volunteering and helping make Quest the BEST!

Scholastic book orders are due this week (March 15th by 3pm).  If you want to order books, you can find the link to Scholastic on my blog. You can also find more books and other items for sale on this Scholastic website.  Our class code is N8L7W. For every dollar you spend we receive points towards purchasing books for our classroom.  This is a great way to build your child’s reading skills and also build our available classroom book supply.  This month, parents can pick a free book (up to $5) when they place an online order of $25 or more (use code: READS). 
Thank you for your support. 

 We are pleased to announce the winner of the Reading Race for February:  Both Morning and Afternoon classes Won!!!  Way to go!!! Both classes read over 300 books during the month of February. To celebrate our win, we will be reading “If You Give a dog a donut”, and we will be eating donuts.  Thank you for reading with your children.  Please remember to keep read their baggy books at least three times every night. We will be celebrating our party on (Friday) March 8th. Please let me know if you do not want your child to eat a donut or if your child will be absent. 

Due to scheduling conflicts the Q and U wedding that was planned for Thursday will be cancelled. We will not be dressing up that day. Please remind kids to wear their school uniforms. So sorry for the changes.
