March 27

Hello Quest Families!

These past two weeks have been like nothing we have ever experienced.  We hope your families are healthy and well.  Governor Scott's message last night was a surprise for us all.   We are very sad that we will not be able to be with our team for the rest of the year.  We are all forging ahead to make the next weeks and months the best for you and your student.

Online learning
What's working?  What's not?  Please fill in the following survey to help us tailor our Quest Learning Grid.

Chromebooks
If you were unable to get your Chromebook, and would like it now, it's not too late!  Let us know and we can set up a time for you to pick it up.

Book Groups
Meg Libby and I (Melissa Williams) will be organizing packages of books to be sent to students.  Your student will receive a non-fiction and a fiction book to read.   I am hoping that the physical book will at least have some of the learning off computer!  We will start reading the nonfiction books about natural disasters / underwater exploration / mountain climbing.  Each book will have a separate time to meet online using Google Meet.  I will be sending out instructions for this later next week. Your student will have the option to use video, or just use audio.  The meetings will be on Thursdays.  Keep your eyes open for further instructions!

Video Tutorials and Chat with Teachers
As we forge ahead, we will be creating videos to help your student with their work.  If your student needs further help, feel free to email us.  We can set up a email chain, or a video chat with your student if that works well for you all.

Online Platforms
If you have any questions about online platforms, don't forget to check out our Resource Page!

We will be sending out our next newsletter on Sunday with more information as we receive it.
