Use the link above to sign up for your students conference. This Fall they will be on Wed. November 3rd and Thurs. November 4th — beginning at 1:40pm until about 7:20pm (running every 20 min).

We have short day (1:00pm dismissal) both of these days. Additionally, don’t forget that students do not have school on Friday, November 5th. Please note, I will be offering conferences online (using ZOOM) or in-person in my classroom. Sign up for whichever works best for you.

If you can’t make these dates, please let me know. I still want to find another date/time to meet with you, if possible. Thanks so much. Your students have been working so hard.

If this is your first year at Quest, please review our wellness policy regarding food in the classroom. As Halloween is approaching, parents often ask if their children can bring candy to share for their classroom Halloween party. According to our wellness policy, students are not allowed to bring treats to share. Any treats we have that day are planned by me and brought by assigned volunteers only.

The 4th grade party will start after the parade (about 1000am) and last until 11:40 (when the students normally go to recess and lunch). In forth grade we combine our parties. I have my room of kids for 20 mins, then they are rotating into other 4th Grade teachers rooms for the rest of the time. Our room will be playing BINGO. I love parent volunteers for this activity BUT know you are always welcome to come and move with your child into different rooms for the duration of the party as well. I think it is fun to stay and have lunch with them too if you would like. When the kids come back from lunch at 12:35 , we will be having our own class treats and then cleaning up for the day. Remember, It is early out day-1:00 dismissal.

For your student to participate in the activities and have our class treats, you will need to fill out a permission form for them. This has to be done before Friday or I have no choice but to not let them participate.

This Is the Place Field Trip Information

In preparation for our 4th grade field trip on Tuesday October 5th, there are a couple things we need to make sure everyone is aware of. 

Students and the chosen class chaperones need to be ontime (8:25am) to school that morning. Chaperones, please pay your admission fee at Quest ($5). The bus will be loaded promptly at 8:45am. We will be traveling by bus to This Is The Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City. Since the bus ride is about an hour long, students are allowed to bring a book or small cards to play with on the bus. NO ELECTRONICS — including cell phones will be permitted. Cell phones will not be allowed because they can’t be safely monitored by teachers. Please go over with your student proper bus behavior before that morning. We should arrive at This is the place around 9:50-10:00am. 

Parents, if you are driving up and meeting us there, you will need to park in the normal parking lot and pay your park entrance fee before going in. Please arrive before we do. If your student rides with you there, they will be marked absent from school that day and will have to pay the park admission fee to enter.

Students will still be required to wear their school uniforms on the field trip. Students will also need to bring a light jacket or hoodie with them as we will be at the base of the canyon and it tends to have chilly mornings. They may bring along a small water bottle as well. Each student will also need a backpack that day to hold their jackets, lunches and water bottles. If they ordered school lunch they would receive it that morning to carry. If they are bringing home lunch, make sure to bring it (students will not share food).

We will be reloading buses at 1:00pm and will arrive back at school at about 2:05pm. Your students will be back in time for the normal after school pick up. 

Also if you are still willing to pay the $3 student donation, please pay online or to the office A.S.A.P. 

We hope for a fun day with all of our students. 

Thanks 

The 4th grade teachers
