Hi QAE Grown-ups! At 9:25 on Sept. 5, please gather for an all school welcome on the front stairs of the wood building, along with an all school picture. When the student welcome is over and the children have headed to their classrooms, the PTSA will host a reception in the cafeteria for all parents/guardians. It is a time to get acquainted or reconnect with other parents in our community. Someone will be there holding a sign with your teacher's name on it, so you can find your grade level compadres more easily. But of course you are free to wander, nibble on the breakfast treats and chat. If you have any questions please contact Kristin Teske at: teskes@comcast.netWe hope to see you there! and.. REMINDER: Back To School Night is on August 30th from 4-6pm! The QAE staff has decided to post classroom assignments that evening, so come meet your teacher!

Dear Incoming Kindergarten Families, The Kindergarten team is so excited to begin our journey with your kids! We have been very busy planning a fun curriculum filled with projects and excitement. We look forward to sharing our plans for the year with you at our curriculum night on September 27th. As a team, we have decided not to do kindergarten interviews this year. Instead, we have divided classes heterogeneously based mainly on age and gender. We are confident that your children will flourish and grow in any of our classes. If you have any information that feel might impact your child’s success on the first day, please contact us at royokoyama@seattleschools.org. However, we do not take requests for your child to be in a specific classroom or with/without specific children. Class lists will be posted on August 30th at our back to school night and then posted on the school website on August 31st. During this event, you will be able to visit your child’s classroom, mingle with other families, and meet your teacher. This is a busy and exciting night - please save all non-first day related questions to ask at curriculum night. We look forward to meeting you all and having a fabulous year together. Enjoy your last days of summer! Sincerely, The Kindergarten Team Rachel Marks, Rene Yokoyama & Katie Cryan Leary
