End-of-the-Year Awards
Grade 7 Awards > 2:00 pm on Monday 5/18 (QVMS)
Grade 6 Awards > 2:00 pm on Tuesday 5/19 (QMVS)
Grade 8 Awards > 6:00 pm on Wednesday 5/20 (Elkins HS)
Notifications Sent to Grade 6 and Grade 7 Award Winners
Notifications were sent to parents ONLY if their 6th or 7th grade student is receiving one or more awards. Students do NOT know what awards they might be receiving. NOTE: QVMS staff cannot look up what awards students are receiving to inform parents; there simply is not enough time as they print, organize, and prepare literally thousands of awards. The notification is meant as a courtesy to inform parents of a [surprise!] award or awards in case they'd like to attend the awards ceremony.
All 8th Grade Families are Invited to Attend the Grade 8 Awards Program
Please be as mindful as possible as far as the number of people you bring to the awards program. Space is limited. Thank you!
That's all I have time to convey today, so enjoy the brevity of this communique!
NOTE: The line above rhymes--internally and with end rhyme! 🤣
