11.8.26 Family Newsletter
November 8, 2026
We had another great week! Report cards went home on Tuesday. If you haven't already, please sign the brown envelope and return that to your child's teacher. That is what all report cards will come home in.
This weekend, our students who were selected for the NC Honors Chorus, performed in Winston-Salem. Huge shout out to Dr. Bazzy for her dedication and hard work in getting these students ready for this weekend. We truly are blessed with the best music teacher in the state, hands down!
Tuesday is make up picture day. This is only for students who were not there on the original date. These pictures are the ones that we will use for the yearbook.
As a reminder, there is no school on Wednesday in observance of Veteran's Day.
*Dojo: Teachers and parents will communicate through this and administration will only post information on there. Admin does not receive notification for messages like teachers do. We ask that if you need to speak with administration, to please contact the front office or send an email. We appreciate your help with this as we do not want to miss any communication from parents.

News from Nurse Wade
QCE is committed to the health and well-being of every student. Over the next few weeks, we will present important information regarding Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. An educated community is a healthier community.
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how the body turns food into energy.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body does not produce insulin. It usually develops in children, teens, and young adults.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not use insulin properly. It is more common in adults but is increasingly seen in children and teens.
**************************************************************************************************
We are conducting our Mass Vision Screenings on this Friday, November 13th. This will include children in kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, and 5th grades who returned the Vision and Hearing Screening Informed Consent at the beginning of the year. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Nurse Wade.
