WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!
The Gifted and Talented Academy at QVMS
School Starts TOMORROW, Tuesday, August 11th!
Each GTA Grade Level Team is READY to Meet, Greet, and Get to Know Their Students!
Today, I met with each of the GTA grade level teams. They are READY! Tomorrow, they will welcome in their new classes, and they have GREAT THINGS in store for your child in the 2026-27 school year! ~Mr. Bernhart
Let's Do This! One Step Closer to Success!
DAY ONE LOGISTICS! BE PREPARED!
If Dropping Students Off, You May Begin to Do So at 8:20 am
QVMS staff will be on duty to welcome students back, starting at 8:20 am. Please do not drop off students before then. Parents are NOT allowed to walk students to class.
Follow the Instructions Below If Dropping Your Child Off.
You are NOT allowed to drop students off in the bus zone. To do so is a safety hazard.
BE MENTALLY PREPARED FOR DELAYS...It's OK. Things Will Smooth Out!
Expect and plan for DELAYS and IMPERFECTIONS with transportation. Whether your child will ride the bus or whether you are dropping him/her off and picking him/her up, it will take a few days before the balance of the daily routine will smooth things out. BUT things will smooth out! They do every year! Please keep this in mind ahead of time. It will save you and your child some stress and anxiety.

As Stated in Previous Newsletters, Use the Stopfinder App...
Did you download the Stopfinder app? If so, did you receive a Stopfinder invitation email for this year? If not, did you check your junk/spam folder for the invitation? If so, and you still don’t find the bus info, contact transportation via the information below.

PLAN AHEAD AND PLAN WISELY IF NEEDED
At this point, if you have been unable to confirm transportation, it would be wise to have a PLAN B. As I stated in the previous newsletter, ALL TRANSPORATION ISSUES WILL BE WORKED OUT, but if you don't have confirmation at this point, having a backup plan to get your child to school can save stress and anxiety, especially for your child on the first day of school.
If Needed, Schedules Will Be Corrected, So Don't Fret!
Schedule correction forms will be available in the first days of school.
With approximately 1,000 students all having 7 periods, there are approximately 7,700 sections for which the counselors are scheduling. A large majority are correct, and the counseling team is working hard to get everything correct. There will be correction forms available to students for errors in the first days of school, and we ask your patience as corrections are made. By the end of this week (or before), everything will be straightened out.
7th & 8th Graders Should Bring Their Laptops to See Their Schedules!
QVMS is NOT printing schedules for every student, so 7th and 8th graders may bring their laptops to view their schedules throughout the day.
QVMS will print copies of schedules for 6th grade students!
Since incoming 6th graders have not yet received their laptops, QVMS will print copies that will be handed out in the morning.
QVMS will run a special DAY ONE schedule on Tuesday, August 11th.
STUDENTS WILL BEGIN IN SECOND PERIOD AND REMAIN THERE FOR BEGINNING OF THE YEAR INFORMATION.
