News & Announcement

We have entered September. Monday is Labor Day, a holiday from school.  What a wonderful milestone; that we have been in school long enough this year that we can celebrate a typical school holiday together.  We hope you and your family are having a restful and happy three-day weekend and come back to us healthy and ready to learn with your fantastic teachers and fellow learners.

Welcome to all the families who have joined our Charter as Independent Home Study learners.

It was terrific to see all the bustle of students in classrooms, parent orientations and parent volunteers on campus this week.  I saw a lot of reconnecting with old and new peers, lots of smiles, and relaxed interactions from parents, students, and teachers. We can expect some understandable adjustments, emotional ups, and downs as students adjust to coming back to school, especially when it is a new site for many of our students but as the weeks unfold and we work together for the good of the students, these adjustments will lessen.

If you are new to our Charter...

Welcome!  We are so excited to have you join us and to have the 2021-22 school year begin with the opportunity to see you and your students learning with our wonderful teachers on the Quail Hollow Charter School site.




It will be the first time in nearly 18 months that students have been able to have a full weekly schedule with their classmates on campus, learning together. Our focus is to make this year as joy-filled, creative, and collaborative as we can when we teach and support your student's academics.

Effective July 1, 2021, eligible individuals may apply to their student's high school to change the letter grade on the student transcript to Pass or No Pass for courses during the 2020-21 school year. (Please read this article for more information.)

And now the 2020-21 school year has ended.  The summer has begun and it appears that we can continue to step into normal routines. May you all stay safe and healthy and may you enjoy plenty of joyful days with family and friends doing activities that rejuvenate you.

...Many of our teachers will be spending extra time getting their new classrooms ready for your children, their students.  Many of them are collaborating together to prepare for next year and are participating in Professional Development classes over the summer to further enhance their teaching for next year.

The first day of school is August 17th.  Our teachers will be back to work on August 12. You can expect a personal letter from them soon after they get back to work.

Many programs have begun their end-of-year conferences and hybrid groups are no longer coming to campus, instead focusing on their last assignments at home when not meeting with their teacher. Nature Academy will have hybrid classes this week and next week the teachers have some special events planned.

And welcome back to our 6th grade Nature Academy students! They were the first class that was able to go on an overnight field excursion (COVID protocols in place of course) since the start of the Pandemic over a year ago. ...

We are but a month away from the last day of school, June 3rd.

Thankfully students have been able to be on-site with their teachers and classmates for several weeks now.  As mentioned before, we are maintaining the focus of the kids having time to connect and work with hand’s-on elements of their learning....

It is great that staff can build on their class/program culture, offering at least a little in-person groundwork in preparation for students working together next year. If everyone.....

May is a quick month with lots of end of year wrap up as well as planning for next year. This newsletter will help you keep up to date with what is happening.

Well, if there is one thing that everyone has been tested on recently it is flexibility! We just keep breathing deep and moving forward with the next steps in front of us. Thank goodness for laughter!  And now we have beautiful weather and a week off of our school routine right around the corner to lighten our spirits as well.

We are excited to have our elementary homeschool programs, FCHS, QHHS, and the 6th graders from QHIA, starting back this coming week, March 29-April 1.

In addition to the planned ‘hardscapes’ changes; adding a staff parking lot and making a drive-through student drop off behind the District Office, redesigning the current parking lot, adding portables, shade structure, upgrading the basketball courts, there have also been upgrades to the air and heat, electrical, septic and bathrooms. We still have a ways to go, but the buildings will be painted, the playfield refurbished, and the rooms ready for action when we start back in August.

The news about all programs moving has been either delayed or not as prominent due to the COVID Pandemic crisis and the shift into living with social distancing and Distance Learning.
