Quist ROYALS Weekly News
December 16, 2022
Hello ROYALS!
We have one final week before we head to Winter Break. Students are down to their last opportunity to ensure all of their hard work over the last quarter pays off. Please encourage your student to double check their grades and to make sure they don't have any missing assignments. Grades will be posted in Infinite Campus on January 13.
Thanks so much to all of the volunteers who shared your family favorites at the first annual Taste of Quist! It was a success, and a good time was had by all who attended. Please consider joining us again next year as we hope to grow this community tradition. Thank you too to Ms. Petersen and WEB on a successful and fun Winter Wonderland.
Congratulations to Ms. Kockler and our choir students on their amazing concert. Research has shown that music enhances intelligence and focus, improves mental health and boosts the immune system as well as self-esteem and confidence. It was so lovely to hear how well our students can sing, the fun choreography to some songs and just the sheer joy the songs brought to the audience. We can't wait for the band concert tonight directed by Mrs. Johnson. We know we're in for another musical treat.
If your student will not be attending school on December 23, we request that you call them in by Wednesday, December 21 at 5 p.m. This will help us better prepare for that last day before break.
On December 23, we will be hosting an all school assembly at the end of the day. The assembly is for students and staff only. Any student who is leaving school early the afternoon of Friday, December 23 must be picked up before 3:20 p.m. We will not be able to quickly locate your child during the assembly.
As a reminder, if you coming to pick up your student before the end of the day, please help our front office staff by bringing your ID in the school with you. Even if a staff member knows you or you have been here to pick up your student before, it's still our district policy to require IDs to check students out of school. Thank you for your support with keeping all our Royals safe.
Have a wonderful weekend and be safe!
On behalf of the ROYALS Community,
Principal Norris-Buck
