A Message from Principal Norris-Buck
We announced last week to our students that we are holding a competition for our 2020-2021 Yearbook cover! The winner of this competition will have their artwork displayed as the official cover for RQMS. We are looking for any original artwork that shows the Quist Way. Please email your entry to Mrs. Gerber at tgerber@sd27j.net by November 20th. Also, we just opened up the preorder form for yearbooks this year. Please follow this link to Josten’s to order yours today.
On Monday, a survey was sent out to our Quist families regarding learning mode changes for second semester. Currently, we have a wait list for students who want to move to fully remote learning in semester one. However, in looking toward second semester, we will be able to reorganize and accommodate what our Quist families need. We will hold a Q&A session on Tuesday, November 17th at 6pm to address any questions our families may have as we prepare for the next term. Please use the Zoom link listed below to join.
Facebook is one way in which schools are able to get information out easily about upcoming events and information that is important to the Quist community. If you have Facebook, please be sure to visit and like Our Page to get notifications and stay up to date!
Picture retakes for 7th grade students will take place on Wednesday, November 11th. If your student is an A Day Student (Tues/Thurs), please use this link to sign up to come before school starts. B Day Students (Wed/Fri) will take retakes during school hours. If your student missed original picture day or retakes this week, please reach out to the office and we will determine the best plan for retakes for your student. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility during this time.

Free Meals to all kids ages 1 - 18
We are pleased to offer take home meals to any families in our district for children ages 1 to 18. Please use this link to order take home meals each week if your student is a virtual learner (always, or temporarily). If your student attends in person classes, they can order from this link and they will get their meals on Tuesday or Wednesday.
If a cohort were to temporarily close, this option is still available. The only difference will be that you pick them up at BHS or PVHS, you decide which location works best for your family.
Chromebook Issues
You can submit a help request through our tech department via email. Please remember to include the full student name, name of school and any information that will help the tech department resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
From time to time, our computers need to be updated and your student’s chromebook is no exception. Please follow these guidelines to help your student to ensure their chromebook is up to date.
