Hello Quantum Families,


Despite the heat, many exciting things are happening here at Quantum! Our students are diligently working on their Genius Hour projects and I am really impressed with the results so far! Ask your student what they are working on and what their plan is for completing the project by the week of Sept 23rd. We also had an exciting assembly and introduced all our amazing staff and had our Olympic closing ceremony!

Attendance Attendance

Everyday counts
zoom_out_map

September is Attendance Awareness Month and all year we will be focusing on attendance. Last year, our average daily attendance was 93.8%. This year, we have a school-wide goal to increase that to 95%. At Quantum with our Project Based Learning model, when students miss school, it is difficult to make up. Students will receive surprise items throughout the year to celebrate being here! Those rewards may include stickers, otter pops, and other small items. Please let me know if your Quark cannot have otter pops.


While we know some absences can't be avoided, please make every effort to schedule appointments before, after, or during school breaks. If your child is feeling under the weather and you have a question about whether or not they can attend school, please don't hesitate to call our nurse's office. We're happy to help!

Band Band

EUSD is proud to offer band at all elementary schools. At Quantum, students in grades 4-8 can join the band. Band is offered on Tuesdays from 1:15-1:55 during iGrow and will start on Sept 17th. See this flyer and fill out the application if you are interested. Applications are due on Sept 11th.

Come join parents and guardians as we live one of our Quantum values and chat and give feedback to Ms. Miller. Create with the Principal is three times a year and we use our creativity to produce an individual or collaborative craft. The first Create with the Principal is on Sept 18th at 8:30am we will be celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month by making serapes. Please join the fun! Create with the Principal flyer (PDF)

7th Grade Family Day at Lunch 7th Grade Family Day at Lunch

We host two Family Days at lunch for families per grade level per year to come and hang out with their Quark(s) during lunch time. Please refer to the Family Engagement Calendar for the days by grade level. Our first day is for 7th grade Friday Sept 13th at 12:35-1:15, arrive at 12:30 to sign in. Families can bring food for their child (sharing with other students is not permitted). Families must remain in the designated lunch area and students must stay in school until the end of the day. See the 7th Grade Family Day at Lunch flyer (PDF). Hope to see all our 7th grade families there!

Policies Review Page Policies Review Page

Having family support with our policies allows us to have consistency at home and at school so thank you for reviewing this policy page with your Quark. Please sign and return it back to the homeroom teacher. If you did not get a packet, check your Quark’s backpack or check with the office for another.

Announcements from PTA Announcements from PTA

We need your help to Impact the Membership. The class with the highest percentage of memberships by September 25th gets an ice cream party!! Join the Quantum PTA here! Please refer to your parent packet for other PTA information such as yearbook, Teacher Amazon Wish Lists, and special birthday messages on the Marquee.

Drop off and Pick Up Reminders Drop off and Pick Up Reminders

It takes all of us working together to ensure safe and efficient drop off and pick up! Please pull all the way up to the loop near the 4th grade gate and load students on the right side of the vehicle. Make sure not to block the driveway of Orange Glen on Falconer Rd so their traffic can continue to flow in the morning and in the afternoon. We recommend James street for entering and exiting Quantum as using this route will bypass a significant amount of the Orange Glen traffic. James street is the traffic light on Valley Parkway, past Orange Glen school. Thank you for your cooperation in following staff directions at drop off and dismissal.
