Principal Update

QUEST Families,

I hope the month of November finds you and your family well, with plenty to feel grateful for. As we close out the first marking period, the day-to-day at QUEST has been quite busy but productive. Please take the time to review all the information found in the blog for this month. 

Report Card Conversations

Your child's term 1 report card will be available for you to view, within the Campus Backpack, on November 30th. Report cards are a chance to have reflective conversations that are focused on growth. As always, I would encourage you to have a conversation with your child about their report card. Some suggested conversation prompts are below.

• What are you most proud of this term?
• What ways did you show growth?
• What is an area or two where you want to improve during the next marking period?
• What IB Learner Profiles did you use this marking period that helped you to be successful?
• At the three-way conference we discussed goals. How might your goals help you succeed? 

Read-a-thon: Twenty Thousand!?

It is always unreal when our community rallies and works together toward a goal. This was on display at our most recent fund-raiser, where our school surpassed our goal and brought in $24,000. This is impressive, and our PTSO is beyond appreciative of the efforts to support their budget. Our school is founded on rich traditions, all of which our PTSO supports in various ways! Thank you for your efforts around the recent fund-raiser. 

IB Profile of the Month: Open-Minded

The IB Learner Profiles are our success toolbox if we are going to be internationally minded, action-oriented, thriving people. Each profile is meant to stretch both students and adults!

The month of November our school community is honing in on being open-minded. I would challenge you to have conversations with your children regarding what being open-minded looks like for you. Do you have to use this profile at your work place? With family and friends? When navigating the world? Thank you for helping to share your adult expertise on this profile with your child.

🎉Half Days on 11/15 and 11/22 🎉

Just a reminder that 11/15 and 11/22 are half days of school for our students. If you are picking your child up, please do your best to notify our attendance office @ questattendance@hilton.k12.ny.us the night before. 

As always, please know that the QUEST community is grateful for the partnerships we have with our families. If we can be of any support or assistance to you and your family, please do not hesitate to reach out.

With gratitude,

Derek Warren
