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.
- Field trip is coming up on October 25th.  More details as soon as I have them!

The training includes tips to be helpful to teachers and students, an overview of Positive Discipline, and general school information.  Sign up at VolunteerSpot.  
Note: More training times will be available soon.  They are aiming to have at least one training per week for the next few weeks.

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
