This week's Take 5 is a TAKEOVER with QCHS Senior Maggie Wilson! Learn the top 5 of the week from a QCHS student perspective:

Rules for Halloween Costumes:

• No face painting at all.
• Masks are only worn at the end of the day for the parade/bingo time and not during classes.
• Blow up costumes are to stay in lockers until parade time.
• No replica weapons at all.
• If the costume has a hat, hats will be stored in the locker until the parade/bingo

QCSD will host a Holiday Resource Night. Learn about resources to help your family this holiday season, learn about a winter clothing drive, and meet local organizations that are ready to share helpful resources.

To consolidate our student support systems, we will be transitioning soon to a new digital hall pass system. This feature will now be integrated directly within our existing PBIS Rewards software which helps keep track of our PBIS tickets.

This change allows us to bring all of our student-focused tools into one single system, making it easier for our staff to manage student hall passes alongside our positive behavior initiatives. While the system is changing, the process for students remains much the same.

Please be assured that student privacy is a top priority. Data from this system is used for school safety and administrative purposes only. Access to this information is strictly limited to authorized school staff and is not used for any other purpose.

Thank you for your cooperation as we make this important update to better support our school community.

Reporting Student Absences: Information on how to report student absences can be found under "Attendance Information" on our website.

The Art Show and Bookfair will be held on December 2 from 5-7 pm at the Sixth Grade Center. The book fair will run from 12/1 to 12/5. Please use the QR code to view the book fair homepage.
