Homework

Posted on by

I have many students who are doing great at completing their homework! Others who aren’t as great at it! Parents and students homework is so important for your child’s learning. Students are being graded in citizenship under responsibility for doing every nights homework. This is a habit that students should learn to be responsible for now, so that our students are college bound! Its never to early to start preparing. 🙂

Christmas Family Portrait Event

Christmas Family Portrait Event 

is back at Quest!

What is it? 

It is a fundraiser put on by the Technology Department to earn money for STEM Clubs this year! For example, we are going to participate in Lego Robotic Competitions, Cyberpatriot ones and more!  

How does it work? 

We have invited Toni J Studios back to our school!  She is an award winning photographer and has been a photographer for over 20 years.  Sitting Fees can cost anywhere from $50-$300 depending on where and who takes your picture right?  Well, Toni J is only going to only charge $25 for her sitting fee for us, and guess what???? She is going to donate the FULL $25 to Quest Academy!  She is willing to take all of our portraits for FREE those three nights and give us that money.  She is also going to donate a percentage of the portrait sales to us!!! This fundraiser is so AWESOME because we do not have to put any money out.  It is straight profit for us!  

Step 1.  Please print the ticket (or check your child’s back pack, one should be coming home tonight) fill out the ticket and return it to the office with your child’s name and the $25 (you can put it in an envelope and your child’s teacher will give it to the office) – please write your checks out to Quest Academy.  Next, call the number on the ticket and book your appt.  (October 1,2 or 3) Please do this before Sept. 25th so we can get an idea on how many time slots we need those nights :). 

Step 2.  Come and get your Family Portrait taken on the date you booked.  They will be doing them in the Q1 gym. 

Step 3.  Toni J and staff will come back to Quest and you will come in to proof your portraits and order your prints.  These prints are HIGH quality and will be retouched.  The packages run from $89 -$259 and we promise you will be happy.  You can ask any of us that have used her in our past fundraisers. She has unique Christmas Cards for you to order and all of your portraits will be ready in time to deliver for Christmas gifts!!!

As easy as that right? 

Look at your family portrait at home and ask yourself if it is time to update it and help Quest be able to start some engaging clubs for your children ALL at the same time!  It’s the perfect time of year to do it and for a great cause. 

The Technology Department is going to provide a Pizza Party for the class that sells the most Sitting Fee’s.  Remember, to share this with your extended family as well, it is not only for Students at Quest. 

Thank you in advance!  We have a slideshow up in Q1 with some samples, we also have some samples in the Q1 Mac Lab and some images on FB if you haven’t checked them out yet!

We are going to be talking about our ancestors! I have invited all students to bring an artifact to share with the class that will tell us about their family history. We will share these at the end of the day and students have been told to keep those items in their backpack until we discuss the topic. 
*If items are of high value, you may email me a picture, or have the student bring a picture of the item so they can still share. 
The students may bring a picture, small item, story, etc. If the item has a story to go with it, I would love for them to bring it to share. Please limit children to one item and/or one story. We wont have time for student’s to share more than that. 
I am so excited to learn more about our class!

We will be walking through a farm, learning about vegetables, picking our own pumpkins and doing activities in a field so please dress your child in appropriate shoes that day. It is not a dress down day so the students will need to be in uniform. If your child has a red uniform shirt, please dress him/her in that color. 

Due to the high cost of transportation- we are asking for a $5 donation from each child. This needs to be paid to the office by September 15th.

Assignments

When I correct papers, students have an opportunity to fix any mistakes and return it to me to get full credit. If the assignment has a lot of mistakes I will write fix and return, because I know that it will effect their grade if they don’t fix it. If I do not write “fix and return” and the student still missed just a few points, they are still welcome to fix them and turn it back in for full credit!
