Please help us keep all students safe during drop-off and pick-up times by driving slowly, staying alert, and following all traffic patterns in the parking lot. Little ones can be unpredictable, and your patience and caution make a big difference. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our school community safe for everyone.

Hello Quest Families,

Your amazing Specialist teachers wanted to have more contact time with our K-5 students, so for second semster, we are changing from a 2-week rotation to a 1-week rotation between Specials classes. This move allows teachers to see students more frequently and balances out the amount of instructional days that students have for each of their Specials. We will begin the new rotation schedule when we return on January 6, 2026.

Humane Education- Compassionate Changemakers Club (Grades 3-6) 👈 click on link to register

Teacher: Ms. Brynn Wiessner

Location: Ms Brynn’s room 104

Meeting Date and Time: Wednesdays Weekly 2:30-3:30 Quarter 3 and 4, starting January 28th

This club is for those who are interested in animals, the environment, and all living beings. We will look at the intersection of caring for each other, animals, and the earth. We will choose an area of interest based on the students in the club to create positive and compassionate change in our community!

We want to remind you of an important campus safety and supervision requirement regarding after-school activities. Students who are participating in Boys and Girls Club, after-school clubs, practices, rehearsals, or other school-sponsored activities are required to remain on campus for the duration of the activity. Students may not leave campus to go to nearby restaurants, stores, or other local establishments to purchase food or snacks, even with parent permission, and then return to the Quest campus.

This policy is in place to ensure student safety, maintain appropriate supervision, and support clear accountability for all students participating in after-school activities. We encourage families to plan ahead by having students bring snacks from home or make use of any approved on-campus options available before or after their activities. Thank you for your understanding and partnership in helping us keep our students safe and focused during after-school programs.

We're currently looking for more 6th grade boys to join the team. If your child is interested in playing basketball this season, now is the perfect time to register. This is a great opportunity for students to develop their skills, stay active, and be part of a team.

Let's have a great season!

Students should not be taking home their chromebooks without a plastic protective cover which they will receive the return of the Technology Device Contract signed by a parent. Please have your student come to the front office to get the contract for you to sign or you can download, sign and return the attachment below.

Due to no additional federal funding for devices being available, schools will continue charging families for any damages incurred to district devices during the 2025-26 school year. Please note that the first incident of damage will not be charged. Any following incidents will be charged based on the type of damage.
