November Principal's Update

Dear QUEST Family,

I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to connect with many of you during the past month, whether it be through conferences or our school-wide events. As we continue through this academic year, it is truly heartening to witness the core value of collaboration permeating every facet of life here at QUEST.

To those that are Veterans, thank you for your service. A extra thanks to our Veteran on staff, Mr. DePrez!

Report Card Conversations

I'm excited to inform you that your child's term 1 report card will be accessible in the Campus Backpack on November 22nd. These reports offer a chance for reflective discussions focused on your child's growth. I encourage you to engage in a conversation with your child about their report card, using some of the following prompts:

What are you most proud of accomplishing this term?
In what ways have you demonstrated growth?
Are there any areas in which you'd like to make improvements in the upcoming marking period?
Which IB Learner Profiles have you found to be instrumental in your success this marking period?
Reflect on the goals discussed during our three-way conference – how might they contribute to your success?

IB Profile of the Month: Open-Minded

The IB Learner Profiles serve as our toolkit for achieving international-mindedness, action-oriented behavior, and personal growth. Each profile challenges both students and adults alike.

For the month of November, our school community is focusing on the attribute of being open-minded. I encourage you to engage in conversations with your children about what open-mindedness means to you. Do you apply this profile at your workplace, within your family and friend circle, or when navigating the world? Your insights on this profile are invaluable in fostering your child's understanding.

🎉Half Days on 11/14 and 11/21 🎉

A friendly reminder that our students will have half-days of school on 11/14 and 11/21. If you plan to pick up your child, kindly notify our attendance office at questattendance@hilton.k12.ny.us the night before. Additionally, there will be no school on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.

The QUEST community values the strong partnerships we share with our families. Should you require any assistance or support for you and your family, please don't hesitate to reach out.

With gratitude,

Derek Warren Principal at QUEST
