The APS Summer School site is live. Our GenTeach sites at the elementary schools are full. We still have space at our middle school program which would include our rising 6th graders (current 5th grader). We will also be offering Enrichment Camps and parents can find additional information on the website

We are planning an amazing 4-day, immersive, health science focused Summer Bridge for students in 7th grade that are interested in a career in health care! We spoke with counselors this morning and shared information with them about the importance of the School Links assessment in targeting those specific 7th grade students. This data is critical for us to have by 5/1 to allow for registration and communication with families. Here is more information about the Summer Bridge as well as a QR code for registration!

Please check the list below as it was updated. If your student was placed in any of the Immersions below, you can make payment in the front office in either cash or check made out to Aurora Quest, please put your student's name on the memo area so we can take accurate account of payment.

Please pay by May 1st. If no payment is received after this date the fee will be entered into IC and will remain as an outstanding fee until paid.

Students attended their immersion meetings on Thursday so they should have brought home updated information and field trip permission slips. If your student did not bring home a persmission slip and their Immersion is going on a field trip, please reach out to the front office and we will make sure your student receives it to take home.

Here is a list of the immersion classes and their payment amounts:

special Thank You to Dr Haddock and Mr Germes for putting on the red apron and hopping

behind the counter!

~Big thanks to all the parents (seasoned and new) that expressed interest in joining the

PTA board! We are waiting on final votes to be submitted, tallied, verified and reported then

we look forward to introducing them to y’all. ***Please remember that you don’t have to be

on the board to participate in the PTA, we are always looking to our families for ideas and

ways to improve our students time at Quest!
