Quantum Parent Bulletin #36

This past Thursday, our students and staff said goodbye to our wonderful custodian, Mr. Oakley who has taken a position in another school district. Mr. Oakley's dedication, kindness, and hard work have made a lasting impact on our QA community. From keeping our campus running smoothly to always offering a friendly smile or a hearty laugh, Mr. Oakley has been an important part of our school family for the past several years and we wish him all the best on his next adventure!

This week is dedicated to recognizing our amazing teachers and staff who show up every day and give so much of themselves for our children. Feel free to show them some LOVE with any cards, flowers, treats or gifts!

CAASPP Testing continues this week and will run through May 15. Testing will take place the first hour of each morning when our students are freshest.

Please be sure that your child arrives to school on time and has a healthy breakfast to start the day and try not to check them out during that first hour.

Please note that students who arrive at school after 8:25 will have to wait in the office until testing concludes at 9:15 as we cannot interrupt classrooms once testing has begun.

Secure your QA Yearbook by May 8th to receive it before the end of the school year. Orders placed after May 8 may not be received prior to the last day of school and will incur a shipping cost.

Purchase your 25-26 QA Yearbook

Join us for QA's Annual Expo Night on May 27th starting at 5 pm! Current and prospective students and families are invited to come and explore our showcase of Quantum Academy.

That evening, we will be partnering with the YMCA who will be hosting a carnival with games, food, and more from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. Everything will be free except for the food trucks!

It will be an evening of hands-on fun for the entire family! If you have any questions, please feel free to email out Ms. Dessy at deflores@eusd.org or call the front office at 760-432-2220.

To help with our planning for next year, please notify our front office if you are a parent of a current 4th-7th grader who will not be returning to Quantum this fall by calling the office at (760) 432-2220 or email our Office Clerk Aracely Vasquez at avasquez@eusd.org.
