Happy Summer! Although we are still about six weeks away from the start of school, allow me to welcome you back to QUEST. Please join me in welcoming our new QUEST families; we are glad to have you as part of the team. In the past, we have always utilized Smore to deliver monthly newsletters, however, the current times call for thoughtful communication, so we are shifting to this blog in order to serve as the one-stop-shop for parents. We will send out the link via email monthly, however, you can also "follow" the blog by using the Follow by Email feature to the right. Please notice the links available at the top as well.
For the kids:
Whether your child is new to QUEST or is entering their final year, it has been a while since students have been in the building. Coming back to school, and coming back to a school that will feel different due to new guidelines, can be scary. Our children are resilient and will take their cues from us, so anything we can do to get them excited to return will go a long way. In that spirit, I have created what is called a Bitmoji Classroom. This is nothing more than a place where kids can go and hear a story from their Principal, meet some staff members, or to get a quick pep-talk. Please check it out, and share it with your child as you see fit: Click HERE to connect with the Principal!
Ice Cream Social:
Each summer we end summer and welcome the school back with ice cream, compliments of our awesome PTSO. As much as we value this tradition, we are unable to offer this opportunity this summer. We look forward to continuing this in the future, and perhaps next year we will need to serve double scoops of ice cream in order to make up for not having it this year.
Class Lists and Supply Lists:
QUEST has been busy preparing for a safe return, and logistics continue to be worked on. With that, we are unable to send supply lists until later in August. Those coming to K will also receive their teacher assignment at that time. I apologize for the inconvenience, but please expect these sometime the week of August 24th. Thank you for your patience as we navigate the new guidelines.
Cohort Assignments:
Cohort assignments are set to go out on Friday. Please be on the lookout, via email, for your child's cohort. We did our best to balance each classroom, keeping in mind that each room can only hold so many students in order to remain socially distanced. In addition, those parents wanting to go remote only will have a chance to sign up for that starting on Friday.

I hope you and your family enjoy an awesome weekend filled with relaxation and time together. I can't wait to reconnect with many of you come September, but until then please don't hesitate to reach out if I can support your family in any way.
Sincerely,
Mr. Warren
Principal
