Volunteering Now Open in Ms. Yokoyama's Class
- As long as you have completed your volunteer training and submitted your background check data, you are clear to start!
- Emails were sent out to parents who indicated an interest in volunteering (check your email/junkmail for "VolunteerSpot".
If you didn't receive an email, let me know and I'll add you.
- I created a webpage with information about current and upcoming volunteer opportunities in Ms. Yokoyama's classroom.
- Feel free to email me to schedule volunteer times.

The training includes tips to be helpful to teachers and students, an overview of Positive Discipline, and general school information. Sign up at VolunteerSpot.

Field Trip - 10/25
More information will follow, but we have a field trip planned for 10/25! Mark the date!
PTSA General Meeting
Is this Thursday, 10/4 at 7:00pm. Business to be covered:
- Our school's plan for project-based learning
- Building Excellence IV Capital Levy - and it's implication for QAE
- Other Legislative and ballot issues
- PTSA's plans for the year
BEX IV Levy
Parents/Voters: On the February 2013 ballot, two levy items will up for vote:
1) the BEX IV Capital Levy (six year) - funds new school construction, additions and major renovations
2) BTA Capital Levy (three year) - small renovations, major maintenance and improvement projects, technology and academic projects.
QAE is currently on BEX IV with a building addition to-be-completed in 2019. We are urging all families to email the school district (link to letter and email address) and ask that QAE's addition be moved up to a 2016 completion date. In the 2015-16 school year we reach max capacity.
And, tomorrow will mark the 20th day of school!
Best,
Amy
