Important Information
PIE Meeting
Our monthly PIE Meeting will be taking place this Wednesday, January 11 from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM. As always, here is the link to participate virtually, and here is the link for the draft agenda. We look forward to seeing you all!
Sugary Drinks Memo
Recently, we have noticed a number of students bringing in slushies, coffee, soda, and energy drinks. In order to help promote physical health, I'm asking that we work together as a school community to reduce sugary and energy drinks during the school day. While our students are not yet at the middle level, the middle school handbook prohibits drinks other than water and there's value in having consistency from a K-8 level. Moving forward, please help us curtail the sugary drinks in school by providing your children with water and other drinks that contain 100% fruit juice. TY!
Synchronous Schedule
In the event that we have a synchronous school day, I wanted to make you aware of a schedule that the team at QE created to help parents understand when synchronous instruction, breaks, lunch, and optional office hours will be taking place for each grade level. Please note that teachers will send links to google meets in advance via Seesaw and/or email. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Here is the link to the student directory. Please note that all parents/guardians gave permission for this information to be shared.
