Buy Your Grad Swag!

Return Your Library Books
Flowers and presents are allowed in the school but not floating balloons due to the possibility of a loose balloon setting off the sprinkler system. We appreciate your cooperation with this matter.
Students and Families:
Please return your Chromebooks to your homeroom Chromebook Cart no later than Friday, May 8th. You will still be able to use them at school, BUT no longer taking them home with you. We will begin fixing/cleaning all devices at that time.
If they are not returned by the time we check them in, the device will be disabled and we will begin sending out notices of payment due to replace the device. Chromebooks ($330) and/or chargers ($19.95).
Thank you!
Jen Colquhoun, Technology Teacher
The votes are in! After hearing from staff, students, and our community, we are excited to announce that our new Guiding Principles for next year will be R.I.S.E.
R is for Respect Be kind to everyone. Use nice words, listen when others talk, and treat people the way you want to be treated.
I is for Integrity Do the right thing, even when no one is looking. Be honest and keep your promises.
S is for Strength and Service Be brave enough to try hard things and keep going. Use your strengths to help others. Service means lending a hand to a classmate, helping your teacher, or doing something nice for your school and community.
E is for Excellence Do your very best every day. Excellence is not about being perfect. It is about growing, improving, and putting in effort every single day.
Thank you to every staff member, student, and family member who took the time to share their voice. These principles will guide our Phoenix community as we continue to grow together!
A Note from the 2024-2026 Board:
We want to take this time to thank you for sticking with us and supporting us as we
navigated new ways to create a stronger community foundation and strengthen the working
relationship between staff and families. We know that many looked at us like deer in
headlights when we stepped outside of the box, but still went along with us and got to
experience the pay off with us. It has been a wonderful experience to meet so many of you
and to foster realtionships within and outside the walls of Quest. We highly recommend if
you are able to take a board position at least once during your time at Quest, the level of
respect and appreciation increases incrimentally. As the board, it has been our pleasure to
serve with you and look forward to the wonderful things the new board will bring to the
table.
Have a Wonderful Summer!
Dre, Scott, Angelica, Susan
