School Updates – March 30th, 2022

Dear QAS Families,

We are trying something new this year at QAS for track and field. Many other schools both Catholic and Public have gone this way: – track and field will be part of our PE classes beginning on Monday, April 4th. The schedule for PE classes will be as follows:

-Grades 2, 3 and 4 will have PE on Mondays and Tuesdays – 8:55 to 10:00 a.m.

-Grades 5, 6, and 7 will have PE on Mondays and Tuesdays and Fridays – 1:45 to 2:50 p.m.

-Grade 2 will also have PE with Mrs. Lamasan on Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m.

-Grade 3 will also have PE with Ms. Chavez on Fridays at 11:20 a.m.

-The Grade 4 class will join in with the Gr. 5/6/7 on Fridays from 1:45 to 2:50 p.m.

-K and Grade 1 classes will have their PE classes on the regular day and time.

This will allow all students the opportunity to learn the skills, try the events, and improve their physical fitness. Track and field is a great way to cross train for other sports and activities. We will run the classes as a station approach and have a number of staff members coaching each day.

Students should be prepared to go outside rain or shine. Please come dressed for the weather and don’t forget your water bottle!

Parents, if you are available to assist during these PE times, please contact Mrs. Epplette. Participation hours will be given to anyone who is able to make a full season (to the end of May) commitment.

Class Photos

These will take place on Tuesday, April 5th. As this is also a P.E. day, we will begin with K and Grade 1s, at 9:00 a.m. The Grade 7, 6, and 5 classes will follow before recess. These students should come to school in their full uniform, including their sweater.

The Grade 2, 3, and 4 classes will have their photos after recess. They should come to school in their PE uniform and bring their full school uniform with them. They will be given the opportunity to change into their uniform prior to their photo.
