Principal Update

 QUEST Families,

It is hard to believe that spring is here and we are about to head into April break. We hope you and your family have a restful break filled with plenty of time together as a family. 

QUEST Office Support

QUEST has two staff members that have stepped into new roles: 

• Ms. Neu is an administrative intern that will be working closely with me for the next month and a half. As student issues arise, Ms. Neu will be actively involved in supporting our students. Prior to starting as an intern at QUEST, Ms. Neu was a classroom teacher at Village Elementary, and prior to that a classroom teacher at QUEST. Welcome back to QUEST, Ms. Neu. 
• Mr. Mike has been part of QUEST for the past year and a half, serving as a lunch monitor here at QUEST. Most recently he shifted into the role of building aide, where he is supporting student needs alongside the main office. During the lunch periods he continues to serve as a lunch monitor as well. 

A Shift in Spanish

Mrs. Kingdollar, the QUEST LOTE teacher, will be finishing the year at the high school. Due to her transition, we will have Ms. Bianca Marascio finishing out the year with us. We look forward to Mrs. Kingdollar rejoining our school in the fall, but until then please join me in making Ms. Marascio feel right at home. 

Lunch @ QUEST

QUEST is now shifting back to eating in the cafeteria. Each class will have the same lunch time, but lunches will now be eaten in the cafeteria. 

Placement

QUEST has started its placement process! We appreciate all the energy and effort that the staff puts into this process. The goal is always balanced classrooms, and because of this goal we do not accept parent requests for specific teachers. We plan on mailing placement lists out in June, with a moving up day schedule for June 17th. 

End of the year events will be here before we know it, and these events always serve as a time to celebrate all we are as a school community. We look forward to coming together as a school community, and finishing this year on a positive note. Thanks for your continued support, and thanks for sending us awesome learners. 

Yours in Education,

Derek Warren
