Quail Call

Gallery Night will be held Thursday, May 30 from 5:30 to 6:45 pm in the multipurpose room. It will begin with a short chat from our Executive Director, Sara Beggs. The classrooms will be open for viewing student work from 5:45 to 6:45 pm. Gallery Night is a school-wide event where families, community members, and school partners serve as an authentic audience. The purpose is to learn more about the work of the students, the school as a whole, and honor student learning.

Your child's Student Led Conference is right around the corner. When students are not in their conference, they'll be participating in a Field Day - a combination of track and field and yard games. PE Teacher Isaac will need some parent volunteers to help monitor the stations and keep the day running smoothly. There will be 6 stations and 1-2 parents are needed for each station. Please sign up at this link if your student is in Grades K-2. Please sign up at this link if your student is in Grades 3-5. Thanks for helping make it a fun day for students!

The last Chinese class will be Wednesday, May 22. There will be no class next week. This school year, After School Chinese focused on learning Pinyin. Students learned all the Chinese initials and finals and tones. They also learned about some Chinese culture, custom, history, festivals, famous attractions and food. Teacher Lan Li says, "I enjoyed teaching this class very much. Thank you so much for all your trust and support!"

It's been brought to our attention that PowerSchool, our Student Information System, has stopped sending out lunch balance emails. We're not sure we're going to fix this issue before the end of the school year. We appreciate your tracking your student's lunch and/or breakfast balance through your PowerSchool account or through our online payment system at this link. Please keep your student's balance above a threshold of -10.00 and be sure the balance is zero by the final day of school. Thank you!

With the end of the year approaching, it is our annual time to assess the levels of engagement with staff, students, and families. Please complete this short survey as it will be used to help make improvements in the future as well as recognize areas where we are doing very well.
