You should be receiving information soon, if you have not already, from teams on how to schedule parent conferences. We will again host families for student led conferences in an effort to develop a more complete picture of the work your child completes here at QMS. Each team may have a slightly different setup, so please keep an eye out for information from teams about conferences and sign ups. Teachers and service providers will also send an email with an opportunity to sign up for conferences with them. Let us know if you have any questions.

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
