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!

You can help:

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

6:00-8:00pm

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!

Happy summer birthdays to Sadey, Delta, Andre, Alonso, Lliza, Karsyn, Easton, and Crew!

Back to School haircuts and uniform giveaway today!

 

One of the things many students look forward to when starting full day kindergarten is eating lunch at school. Here are a few tips to help prepare your kindergartener for this exciting experience:

*Practice independent lunch preparation.  For example; How to open containers and packages (i.e. opening pudding cups, putting straws in juice boxes, etc.)

*Practice what to keep and what to throw away (i.e. keep tupperware, please throw away opened juice box even if not finished, etc.)

*Practice appropriate table manners

As you share meals with your child throughout the remainder of the summer, consider what they can begin doing independently at home now so that they are ready to be successful in the school lunch room.

We are very excited to welcome our new students into our kindergarten class!
