Dear Families,
We spent time earlier in the week as a staff in professional development, learning more about implementing professional learning communities. We focused on the topic of data triangulation. Essentially, how we use multiple forms of data to make educational decisions. I believe these communities will make us better at what we do. I'm continually impressed by our teaching staff and their deep knowledge of best practices in the classroom.
I hope you have a blessed weekend,

Counselor's Corner
Thoughts on Homework - Lisa Ruff, School Counselor
Over the years, I've heard lots of different theories on the best time for students to complete homework. When I began my career, almost 20 years ago, many experts suggested doing homework right after school. I believe that parents know their children well enough to determine the right time to study. Within the last few years I've seen a shift in thinking, leaning towards giving kids a much needed break after school. Jim Fay, co-founder of Love and Logic, often talks about how tired we as adults feel after a day at work. Would we want to come home and start on more work immediately? Or do we need a break so we can return to it later with a clear mind? Only you and your child can come to this decision. Doing so together gives shared control and helps strengthen your relationship.

Spirituality and Service
God is the friend of silence. If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen; for in the heart God speaks.
Mother Teresa
Enjoy a day in country on Oct. 23rd! All QHR families are welcome to come to St. Philippine Duchesne Park near Mound City, Kansas, to walk the beautiful trails, pray the Stations of the Cross, and enjoy the autumn scenery as we learn more about the life of St. Philippine and her work among the Native Americans. There will be someone dressed up as the nun herself, and another person to help us learn of the history and work she did. We will also visit Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Mound City which is dedicated to St. Philippine. The stained glass windows tells of her life. This is a family field trip and if you can't go please arrange for your child to be supervised by another adult.
