WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE??? This is crazy that we are in the last month of school. There are a bunch of announcements this week so please make sure that you read through the blog carefully, and check if often. Please do not hesitate if you have any questions or concerns. You are WONDERFUL!!!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
*** MONDAY, MAY 4TH @ 1:30 – POQA (our parent organization) is sponsoring Quest’s Teacher Appreciation Parade this upcoming Monday, May 4th, at 1:30pm. We’d love to have you drive through our parking lot to say hello! Your teachers might even be tossing students a few treats through your car window as you drive by! In order to maintain social distancing standards, our educators will be spaced along the school—elementary teachers will be along the curb in the front of Q1, and jr. high teachers will be along the carpool lane in the back of the school. If you have students in both the elementary and the jr. high, feel free to make two trips around. If you are able to make it, we ask that students with last names beginning with letters A to M come between 1:30pm and 2:00pm, while those with last names beginning with letters N to Z come between 2:00pm and 2:30pm. To ensure social distancing standards are followed, please don’t exit your vehicles. Do, however, feel free to honk, cheer, and tell your teacher how much you appreciate them.
***Sign up for Quest’s virtual talent show! Click here to access the virtual talent show website. The talent show will be available to watch the week of May 18th! All video submissions are due May 8th, so get out your phones and start recording your talented kiddos (please ensure recordings are less than 5 minutes)! Though you’ll be able to upload videos from your computer, you might find it a bit easier to do so from your phone. Here is a short recording to show you how to do this. I know I have talent in my class! Let’s show the rest of the school!
***Quest Jr. High annual “I MADE THAT!” Game Coding Competition is going on now. We need everyone’s help. Please go to this site https://bit.ly/gamecodingcomp Play the games on that site and rate your favorites. Your votes will determine the winners.
***Monday, May 18th thru Thursday, May 21st – End of year i-Ready diagnostic testing – Starting Monday the 18th the school will be giving students an end of year diagnostic test for i-Ready reading and math. I will meet with students in small groups and they will log onto i-Ready to take their test. I will be making a schedule later this week with the times that your child will meet with me for testing each day. The testing will take 30 to 45 minutes each day. i-Ready will only be available from 9:00 – 1:00 on these days. If your child CANNOT meet with me between 9:00 and 1:00 that week, please notify me as soon as possible. Other arrangements will need to be made for your child to take the diagnostic.
