QES Pioneer Campus Notes
Greetings QES Pioneer Families!
We hope all of our families enjoyed their quiet Thanksgiving celebrations and are remaining safe during the height of this pandemic. . We hope to see Covid cases dropping over the next couple weeks so we may be able to welcome our students back on campus. We understand how challenging it can be supporting your child's education via zoom or papers, and we appreciate all you're doing to support your child's learning.
Materials distribution will continue on Fridays from 12:00-4:00. Classroom teachers will continue to provide updates and materials for students to pick up, and an opportunity to drop off their completed work, if needed. For the next couple Fridays we'll place the bins out front, and on December 18 we'll make the distribution special from 12-1 with our teachers greeting students as well as a surprise guest in a red suit. (December 18, 12:00 K, 12:15 1st, 12:30 2nd, and 12:45 Ind Study/Pre School/SDC.) Thanks!
20 Acts of Kindness! OK, Quincy Elementary Cougars, our challenge is on for our school to perform at least 3,000 acts of kindness by Friday, December 11. This equals to at least 20 acts of kindness per student. Please keep a list, then show your teacher by December 11. Helping others without asking or finding opportunities to do nice things for others, then writing them down, will hopefully teach lasting kindness habits. Thanks for participating!
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We are saddened we are unable to welcome our students on campus, and hope that we can all work together, and follow the suggested safety precautions to significantly reduce our Covid cases in Plumas County. Please stay safe.
Staff Shout Out!
Alder Campus INFO:
It sure is fun seeing all of the kind acts our students are doining for their families and each other! In our assembly today, we learned that some of our students had already done more than 30 acts of kindness. Remember, we are trying for 20 or more per student by next Friday, Dec. 11th. Thanks for helping to remind your student.
It is also fun seeing our families particpating in our GooseChase Scavenger hunt. No time to do all of those activities? Don't stress. Pick one and have fun doing it! We'll have fun seeing your picture! Checking off one thing, having fun with your family, and sharing your picuture with us will bring everyone a little more joy!
