Week of 12/20/25
Welcome to influenza season!
The flu reports of this year have increased significantly.
Please be aware of the APS rules for children being in school:
- Children must be free of fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea for 24-hours without medication to attend school.
- Please do not give your children medication for temperature control prior to coming to school. If they need medicine to feel better they should stay home until they are fever free for 24 hours without medication.
- Lastly, children cannot have medication with them (pockets, backpacks); all medication must be in the clinic.

Dates To Look Out For:
Jan 13 – PTA meeting 6-7
Winter Fest
A huge thank you to all of our volunteers that made Winter Fest a success as well
as the families that made donations to our silent auction. Also a BIG thank you to
our families that attended! Through the silent auction, we raised over $2,000 and
are elated to plug that into our budget. We would love feedback to leave notes
for the next board on how to make it a bigger success next year. Please let us
know what you loved, liked, could do without, or would be helpful to have.

From The Board
We have been overjoyed to see the way our Quest Community has grown and
continues to blossom through the support of The PTA and the events and
requests we have put out this first semester. We hope that you and your family
have a wonderful break and can dive into the things that bring you joy this
season. We will be meeting over the break to map out and plan the remainder of
the school year and hope to see you at our first meeting of the year. The second
half of the year will bring field trips, teacher appreciation, field day, immersion
and much more. We look forward to a much-needed break and figuring out how
to make the most of our last months as your board. From our families, to yours,
Happy Holidays!
Cheers & Joy to You and Yours,
Dre, Scott, Angelica, Susan
