Quist ROYALS Weekly News
February 17, 2023
Hello ROYALS!
National Student Resource Officer (SRO) Appreciation Day - February 15
We are very grateful for our SRO, Officer Nicole Koehn. Officer Koehn makes daily connections with our students, she works diligently to keep our students and school safe, and is a valuable and essential member of our school community. She's been with the City of Thornton Police Department for 6 years. When she's not on duty, she loves to do anything outdoors and loves to watch movies. Thank you, Officer Koehn for all you do for all of us!
School celebrations
On Valentine's Day, So'Oga pride passed out cupcakes to the entire student body. Thank you So'Oga!
Promoting Quist
Thank you to our counselors, our music teachers, Ms. Petersen, our WEB leaders, our band and choir students for representing Quist as you visited our feeder elementary schools to talk to 5th graders about coming to Quist next year.
School administrative update
Kevin Marlatt is no longer working at Quist Middle School and so we will be selecting a new assistant principal for next school year. We are developing that selection process and once that is finalized, I will share that with all our staff and parents. In the meantime, please be assured that I am committed to providing high-quality leadership as principal and am available to support you with any needs you have.
