Our 1st book club book is “Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing”. It was sent home last week in a book pouch. Please have your student read it on their own, read it to them or find the audio of the book. They should be reading at-least 20 min a day. It is due back on Oct 16th. Please make sure it comes back in the same book pouch. They will be doing a writing assignment after the book is brought back. Please let me know if there are any problems reading the book before Oct 16th.
I loved seeing all of you that came for Back to School Night last night. I hope you are excited to start another year at Quest Academy. Looking forward to getting started on Wed morning with all your amazing kiddos.
Please mark your calendars for Back to School Night on Monday, August 14th, from 6-8 pm. Presentations will be given every 30 minutes starting at 6:00 pm, with the final session beginning at 7:30 pm.
On this night you can bring your child’s headphones, pencil box, and small water bottle. NOTE: No backpacks are brought to class. Only a lunch box if needed. We are a technology school and seldomly send anything home. Use the following link to make a classroom supply donation of $30 or pay the office on this night ONLINE PAYMENTS marking “other” and typing “Peay’s Supplies”. Thanks

I WILL BUY ALL SUPPLIES for students.
I know how busy this time of year is and I want to help make it easier. I am asking guardians to pay a $30 supply donation fee to cover each student’s supplies. This way I can get all the needed supplies purchased and labeled before students come back to school. You can pay at Q1 on Back to School Night or before hand. You can easily pay online here: ONLINE PAYMENTSmarking “other” and typing Peay’s class Supplies. If you would rather purchase the same items yourself, please send me an email prior to school beginning.
Additionally, students will need to bring the following items:Headphones/earbuds-labeled with their name. Guardians will be responsible to replace broken/damaged headphones/earbuds throughout the year.
Pencil Box–1 standard size pencil box
Small backpack if needed-A bag large enough to bring a cell phone(to be off during school) or personal items they need at school. NO large backpacks are to be brought. We are a technology school, so we rarely send any papers home. ONLY lunch bags are needed if they are bringing a lunch from home. A back pack can be brought to transfer library books home once a week.
Water bottle-Students may bring a small non spill water bottle that they can have with them throughout the day.
Lanyards are optional, I will provide them with a shirt clip. NOTE: they cannot have the kind of lanyard that has an elastic pull feature.
