Next Thursday, our last day before break, is HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA DAY!! So, get creative and wear anything that helps spread some holiday cheer! You could wear a holiday sweater that could be cute or obnoxiously ugly, wear red and green, a Santa hat, or dress up like Rudolph! Just make sure that whatever you choose to wear, it still follows dress code rules. ASB will also have a treat for everyone in the morning when you get to school!

JV boys’ tryouts will begin on Monday after school in the gym until 5:30. Again, NO SPECTATORS are allowed in the gym during tryouts.~ NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!

If you're an 8th grader whose parents are still considering sending you on the Washington DC trip in April 2019, you can still sign-up, but the deadline at this price is December 22nd. If you need sign-up information, go see Ms. Mankins in room H6. Anyone who tries to sign-up after December 22 may be put on a waiting list w/ no guarantee of travel. If you do get registered in January, the trip price goes UP!

It’s nice to share, but remember that allowing someone to reach into your chip bag, handing someone food with unwashed hands, or “waterfalling” drinks is also a great way to share germs. Be healthy this season. Wash your hands often, or at least use hand sanitizer. Sharing clothing or hats is also a great way to share things like head lice. Stay Healthy! Be Kind, but know you don't always have to share everything--especially Germs!

Just a reminder that breakfast food must stay in the cafeteria in the morning. If you are going to save an item such as a granola bar or pop tart for later in the morning, please put it away in your backpack before leaving the cafeteria in the morning.

Students--We are keeping track of attendance by grade level and are working on some great rewards for the grade level that has the best attendance. We are also going to take in to account if students attend a Saturday Academy & give additional credit for those students who made up absences on those days! Also--we are continuing our grade level challenge again this year.
If there is ONE day when every single student in a grade level is here--we have something special planned for your ENTIRE grade level. More information is coming soon--but bottom line....Be at school every day! Attendance today, equals Achievement tomorrow!

The big Blue Recycling containers around campus are NOT trashcans. Please do not put food or trash in them. They are for water bottles or aluminum cans only (no paper trash). The money that is collected from recycling goes directly back to students to sponsor events such as field trips. Please respect the blue bins.

Did you run out of paper? Forget your pencil at home? Never fear, the Student Store is here! Come down to the ASB office to purchase basic school supplies for only $0.25 or $0.50 each.

Did you know that Quail Valley has both a Facebook and an Instagram page? Follow us @qvmscougars to stay up to date with all that is going on at Quail.
