Quail Run News
July 2021
From the Desk of Mrs. Maynard:
July 22, 2021
Dear Quail Run Families,
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! I hope you had a fun and relaxing summer.
Quail Run is proud to be a fully authorized International Baccalaureate World School. In our IB program, we strive to actively engage students, while encouraging them to think deeply and take action in their own lives. We help students develop a love for learning by nurturing students’ natural curiosity. We also work to instill the IB Learner Profile in our students. Please look for my monthly newsletters for additional information on these attributes and how you can support your student at home.
We are looking forward to having students back at school this year. We know everyone is anxious to understand what school will look like for our students. We will continue to follow mitigation strategies and follow Maricopa County's Covid guidelines. More specific guidelines will be shared next week as more information becomes available. Thank you for your patience.
We can currently share, that for at least the first quarter of school,
- We will not have space available for parents to visit the lunchroom.
- Due to the fact that we cannot keep grade levels separate on the playground, there will be no morning recess.
- School breakfast and lunch will be free for the entire 2021-2022 school year.
- Every K-6 student will be assigned their own device to use on campus. All devices will remain on campus.
By working together, we will continue the tradition of excellence that has been established at Quail Run Elementary School. In closing, please enjoy the remaining days of summer. I look forward to seeing many new and familiar faces on August 9th at Meet the Teacher!
Your Partner in Education,
Marta Maynard
Quail Run Staffing Changes

Sandra Israel, Second-Grade Teacher
Tracie McLeod, Fourth-Grade Teacher
Madison Crafton, Learning Center Teacher
Alyssa Pierce, Learning Center Teacher

Class Placements
A significant amount of time, effort, and thought has gone into the process of student placement for the 2021-2022 school year.
Careful consideration was given to input from teachers and families, as well as student learning styles. Classrooms have been created to be balanced academically and socially. Moving students is difficult and can cause imbalances and inequities.
Thank you so much for supporting our balanced classrooms and helping children understand that it is impossible to place all students with a particular friend or teacher. ALL of our staff works hard to make school a positive experience for ALL students. Thank you for understanding it may take a few weeks for a child to acclimate to a new grade, peer group, and teacher.
Class rosters will be posted outside the front doors of Quail Run on August 9, 2021 by 8:00 AM.
