Dear QEHS Parents and Guardians,
What a fantastic week! We welcomed the class of 2032, and the class of 2027 were amazing ambassadors for our school in this Friday’s welcome back pep rally.
On Thursday, September 10, we look forward to welcoming QEHS families for a back-to-school food truck event. Food trucks will arrive at 5:30 pm outside our main entrance and be here until 8:00 pm. Families can bring a blanket to eat on our front or back lawns. At 6:30 pm, our Meet the Teacher program will begin. Our Student Services Team, Administrative Team and School Council Executive will be in the Student Gathering Area to greet you and answer questions. Families will then follow their child’s timetable to meet each teacher. Since it is Thursday, we will follow the P2, P1, P4, and P3 schedule. The last period will conclude at 7:45 pm. Families can grab some dessert from the food trucks for the ride home. Make sure to bring your child’s schedule to PowerSchool, or better yet, bring your children along! Thank you to our School Council Executive for organizing a fun community building event for our school. Please see the attached flyer.
There are many important Knights’ Notes below. I hope you enjoy your long weekend, and I look forward to meeting you in person next week.
Take care,
Jennifer Edmondson-Neily
Principal
