November 1, 2024

It's hard to believe that it's November already - the weather isn't very convincing.


We had a great week at QMS and we had a chance to witness the very first Stinger Event of the year. It was so great to see that real school (and team) spirit come out with our students. Each grade gathered in the gym during one of their specials classes for an exciting set of minute to win it games. It was great to see the support that students provided to their peers and the level of school spirit that that everyone displayed during the events.


Just a reminder that Tuesday is a day off for students because of election day. I hope that everyone has a great weekend and we look forward to seeing our QMS students back on Monday!

Ski Club News

Due to overwhelming response, ski club would like to offer a 4th bus for both trips on 1/11 and 2/1. In order for this to happen, we would need 45 additional ski club registrations. If your child is interested, please sign up using the Google Form link below. Once 45 registrations are complete, Mr. Walsh will email those parents with bus payment instructions. Please keep in mind, this bus will not run if we don't reach the magic number of 45. Please use this link to access the Sign Up Form.

The Qualters Ideal

The Qualters Ideal is not that we will all agree with each other, or even like each other, every minute of the day. It is rather that we will respect each other's rights, especially the right to be different, And that at the end of the day, we will understand that we are one people, one school and one community
