QISD will be closed for Spring Break from Monday, March 16th through Friday, March 20. Also, Monday, March 23rd is a scheduled Staff Development day. Classes will resume as scheduled on March 24th.
8th grade parents:
If your child is currently eligible for the field trip, one of these will be sent home with them today (March 6). Please note the payment deadline is March 26. Due to having to get numbers and payment to the university ahead of time so they can order supplies, this is the final deadline for payment. If your child has not submitted payment by that date, they will not be able to attend this field trip.
Also attached is a copy of the original letter sent out back in January with specific information about the trip.
Permission slips will be sent home after Spring break for those that have paid by the deadline.
Today, 6th grade students, were visited by Rabbi Alan Learner of the Ahavath Achim Synagogue in Tyler. He spoke to the students about antisemitism and the importance of learning about the Holocaust in school, and the effects it has on today's society. Most importantly, the students learned that when it comes to identifying what race they're a part of, the correct answer is, the HUMAN RACE where we are encouraged to give respect & love to one another to eradicate hate.
This is the Last Call for 8th Grade Tshirt orders. The cost is $11. Order forms and money are due to Mrs. Johnson by THIS Friday, March 6th.
