2.22.26 Family Newsletter
Parent/Family Newsletter, 2.22.2026
We had a great week here at QCE! Our Battle of the Books team came in first place during round one on Tuesday, which qualified them for finals on Friday! They gave it everything they had on Friday and brought home 5th place out of all of the elementary schools in Onslow County. We are super proud of this group and very thankful for Ms. Jones and Mrs. Sickle's help leading them.
Quarter 3 interim reports will go home with students on Monday. Please review these grades with your students and sign and return them to homeroom teachers.
Good Luck to both our Science Olympiad and Odyssey of the Mind Teams has they have their competitions on Saturday, February 28th. Good luck, we know everyone is going to do GREAT!
Just a few reminders:
*CAR RIDER DROP OFF AND PICK UP- The flow has not changed. Families need to go around the circle at the high school. Do not turn left into out drop off/pick up circle.
*DROP OFF AFTER 8:30- Any student(s) that is dropped off after 8:30, must have an adult walk them into the building. Once the bell rings our staff comes back into the building and moves into their day. So parents must walk them up and into the office for their tardy slip.
*EARLY CHECK-OUTS- must be done before 2:40. The reason for this is there is a lot of movement that starts at 2:45 to prepare our building for dismissal.
We truly appreciate everyone's help with these things. Our number one goal is to keep our campus safe and consistent with our procedures.
