Parents, 

We are currently reading the book “Holes” in class.  I am sending home a permission slip so that we can watch the movie in class to compare and contrast.  The movie is rated PG.PG Movie Permission Slip

Permission trip 2017-18

Here is our schedule of field trips for the year.  I am sending permission slips home tomorrow with the students.  Please email me if you have any concerns.

We are now doing voluntary book reports.  Any student who does a book report can bring it back to class and receive 1-6 points for their class dojo (I let them roll a dice).  They can do as many as 4 book reports per week.  I have included the link to the book report form under the helpful info tab.  We also have forms in the class that the students can take home.  For those students who are non-readers, if someone were to read the story to them and ask them the questions and fill it out for them, that works too.

I sent home material for our school’s cookie dough fund raisers. Although normally I am not too enthusiastic about fundraisers, Quest Academy and especially the Junior High are doing so many new things that I am excited about, it is definitely a necessary evil to pay for every thing. Please do what you can. I have seen amazing changes since I have been here. The Junior High has a new program where teachers can give a PRIDE card to a student who is displaying: Personal Responsibility, Integrity, Discipline, Respect and Engagement. The students take these cards to the office and have a chance at winning a prize at the end of the day. Several of our students have been recognized in this way.
