New Quist Policies
No Cell Phones - 8:35 a.m. - 4:37 p.m.
In the interest of our students' health, safety, and education, we will require every student to leave his or her phone turned off and in their locker or leave them at home. Students must keep their turned off phones in their locker or at home between 8:35 a.m. and 4:37 p.m. This also includes lunch/recess. We feel this decision will support our goal to build and maintain a positive school culture and community for our students.
New lunch policy
Pick Up After 4:15 p.m
If you need to pick up your student early from school for an appointment, please make note that you need to arrive prior to 4:15 p.m.
After 4:15 p.m., staff and students are in transitions and closing time. Students will only be called down in emergencies. Please plan your pick up prior to 4:15 p.m.
Please read through the Royal Handbook

6th Grade Orientation 8/9/23 - 8:35 a.m. to 4:37 p.m.
This is a full-day schedule (8:35 a.m. – 4:37 p.m.) for all 6th graders. Bus transportation will be provided, if your student qualifies for a bus route.
Orientation is an opportunity for new ROYALS to adjust to the building and schedules before the whole student body joins them the following day.
- Bring a notebook and something to write with (please wait to bring supplies on the 10th).
- All students should enter the main entrance (behind the flag pole) and go directly to the main gym. Our WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) Leaders will be greeting students and helping direct them where to go.
- Students can pack a sack lunch, or they can get breakfast and lunch in the cafeteria for no cost.
Bizzi Bee Espresso Truck will be on campus for all parents to enjoy! Open to the public 8-10am. Parents interested in learning more about Quist and adjusting to middle school can attend a 30-minute parent orientation by the hug and go lane with Mr. McMillan and our PTO President, Kristi Donovan.
