Mrs. Hirano's Kindergarten Class
Miss you Muffins and Parent Lunch Volunteers
Parent Volunteers:
We are looking for parent volunteers to help during our kindergarten lunch time, which runs daily from 10:40 to 11:05. Volunteers can assist students with opening food packaging and cleaning off their tables when they're finished eating. Your support would make a big difference! Please sign up HERE if you are available.
Parking Lot Procedures
We frequently receive questions regarding how to navigate the Quest parking lot, for example:
Whether you are new to Quest or a Quest veteran, please take a moment and view this informative AND entertaining video about the parking lot procedures at Quest. Please share with anyone who will be driving your child to and/or from school.

Preparing For Kindergarten
Kindergarten = A BIG CHANGE for your child
Some students adjust very well and LOVE Kindergarten right away!
Some students… don’t and may go through an adjustment period.
If your child has trouble adjusting: Know that this is perfectly normal! It will get better!
Sleep: Early, consistent bedtimes
**Start changing your summer schedule to a school schedule now**
Healthy Meals: Especially Breakfast!
Be Encouraging: Excitement is infectious
Consistent Attendance
School Lunch
Breakfast and lunch will be available for our Kindergarten students. Breakfast is $0.40 for students that qualify for the reduced price and $1.50 for full pay students. We encourage you to submit an online free/reduced meal application through your Aspire account. It is a super quick process.
Breakfast is provided prior to the start of class (8:00-8:20am). Students eating breakfast should go directly to the lunchroom when they arrive at the school. Parents are welcome to accompany their child to the lunchroom for breakfast.
Lunch will cost $0.40 for students that qualify for the reduced price and $2.00 for all full pay students. For lunch, students will choose either a hot or cold entree. They will also have access to our full salad bar with a variety of fruits and vegetables.
The breakfast and lunch menus can be found at the following link. Quest Academy’s Menu
Our lunchroom staff will be available during Back to School night to answer questions and to allow the students to see the lunchroom. If your child has any allergies, this is a great time to talk with the staff. Note: All allergies need to be documented in Aspire.
You may contact Stephanie Hadley (shadley@questac.org) if you have any questions.
Back to School Night

During Back to School Night you will have the opportunity to come to our classroom and learn more about our class and the upcoming school year. Presentations will begin every 30 minutes. (6:00, 6:30, 7:00, 7:30pm)
We are in the portable on the field- north side (with the stairs).
In addition, there will be a free uniform giveaway in the lunchroom. While in the lunchroom, meet Stephanie Hadley and her amazing lunch crew. This is a good time to talk with Stephanie about any allergies your child may have.
We are looking forward to meeting with you!
