RtI?

How do I know if a child went to RtI last year? 

If you are wondering this, please refer to the roster you received at the end of last year. On that roster, RtI should be checked for all students in your classroom who were at RtI last year. If this is not the case for you, please let Lisa know so that we can share the exact names with you.

Enjoy

QUEST,
You are all awesome. Thank you for doing your part to make our school what it is.

Next week!

Looking Ahead

Walk to School Day! Wed, October 2, 2019

Join QUEST as we walk to school! Please park and meet in the Hilton United Methodist Church parking lot at 8:15 am (21 West Ave.). Families are welcome to join our walk but staff can wait with them once we all arrive to school.

Reminder about subs.

Two reminders regarding subs:

• Please be sure you have two days worth of emergency plans on your desk OR left in the main office--that choice is yours. If you were to be out in an emergency situation, these would be used to support our sub. This was agreed upon last year with HCSTA. 

Also,

• This is a reminder for when you are out of the building, we use a common format for explaining our emergency procedures. Please be sure that what is below is filled out specifically to your room and included in your sub plans if you are going to be out. All sub plans should have this included in them.
