Week of 4/11/26

Hello Parents/Families, Are you familiar with Restorative Practices? Here is an introduction to what it is and what it can do.

Restorative practices focus on relationships and accountability. Instead of only using punishment, students are guided to understand how their actions affect others, take responsibility, and work to repair harm. This helps build empathy, stronger peer connections, and a more positive school climate.

Aurora Quest is refreshing the guiding principles for next school year that define who we are as a school community. Our staff and students have already cast their votes and now it's the community's turn. We're asking just a few quick questions: which values matter most to you, what words capture what Aurora Quest stands for, and which guiding principles selected by staff and students resonate with you most. Your responses will directly shape the guiding principles we carry into next year together.
