We know that start of school is a busy time with a fair share of information overload. We've put together a single form where you can pay your student's fees and fill in your directory information. You can also join the PTSA and let us know how you plan to volunteer.
Whether you're attending QAE in-person or as part of the Virtual Option Pilot Program (VOPP) - we've got you covered! Please take a few minutes to complete the QAE Back-to-School Form. It only needs to be done once per family. Questions? Contact the PTSA at communications@qaeptsa.org
BACK-TO-SCHOOL FORM Each QAE family should fill out te back-to-school form:
Teacher | Classroom Assignments These will be shared on August 30. And Back to School Night will follow that evening. See more on that here.
Student Directory Information We ask for parent names and contact information. The QAE PTSA uses email addresses collected on this form to build the lists for the classroom coordinator emails as well as teacher, specialist, school and PTSA announcements, including our newsletters. The information in the directory will be shared exclusively within the school community, and commercial use of the information is strictly prohibited.
School Hours and Bell Schedule All details can be found here. Join the PTSA - all parents welcome. The QAE PTSA provides funds and volunteer support for staff, curriculum, classroom, school communications, community events, field trips, yearbooks, summer playdates, and much more. But PTSA membership also gives you a voice and a vote in QAE PTSA business at general membership meetings (i.e. the budget and officer elections) as well as discounts for Great Wolf Lodge, Washington State Fair, Key Arena & McCaw Hall and more!
We're actively recruiting folks to serve on the PTSA board as well. See open positions here!
Volunteering at QAE Volunteers are vital to the success of QAE. We couldn't do it without you! There are opportunities for parents with a variety of schedules--even if you work full-time - there are plenty ways to lend a hand. You can fill out your volunteer interests on the 2021-2022 Family Partnership Survey. Or reach out to volunteer1@qaeptsa.org. Prior to volunteering, all volunteers will be required to show proof of vaccination and complete a volunteer application available at the main office. More information will follow as we respond to evolving CDC requirements, state requirements and King County requirements.
FOR IN-PERSON EXPLORERS School Supplies The total is $65 per student. For the convenience of our families, the PTSA collects this money for the school and passes along the funds. Rather than giving families a supply list to fulfill at the beginning of the year, our teachers ask for this classroom supplies fee that allows teachers to buy appropriate classroom supplies as they need them throughout the year.
No QAE student shall be denied access due to an inability to pay fees. If financial assistance is needed, please contact Ms. Roy by phone (206-252-2480) or email ( jbroy@seattleschools.org) with full confidentiality guaranteed.
Devices Devices will be distributed onsite and remain onsite during the year. Stay tuned for details!
FOR VIRTUAL OPTION PILOT PROGRAM (VOPP) EXPLORERS We're still getting some details worked out, so stick with us. Additional details for virtual families will be coming in August. School Supplies Stay tuned for details. Devices Stay tuned for device distribution locations, dates and times.
