Dear Quashnet School Community,



Tonight is a school night!  We are looking forward to welcoming students back to school after a beautiful February vacation week. I hope everyone feels rested, rejuvenated, and ready to work! Monday will be the 105th day of school.  Being present and focused is so important as new material is introduced every day.



Thank you to all of our Stop and Shop shoppers.  So far we have reached $6,534.40 in the A+ Reward program. With your participation in this program, we are able to use these funds to offset the cost of field trips, items for the school store, and support special initiatives. Thank you!

 STEAM Night is THIS THURSDAY from 6-8 PM! 

 Bring the family and together enjoy a variety of hands-on

activities and interesting displays.

-Activities will be in the cafe, gym, library, and selected classrooms-  

This is a fun night for all and not to be missed!

A special congratulations to our own entrepreneur, Carmen Bartlett.  She was featured in an article in the Cape Cod Times for her start-up business of making and marketing slime.
