Quantum Parent Bulletin #10
October 6, 2025
Dear Parents,
It's hard to believe that we're already in the 8th week of school! These first couple of months as principal of Quantum have been amazing and I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of the Quantum family. After witnessing so many of the activities and events that have already taken place this year (from Aquatica, project-based learning experiences, Genius Hour, Enrichment classes, after-school movies, sports, clubs, and more!), I can see why so many of you have sent multiple children from your family here over the years. Quantum truly is a special place that I wish my own children could have experienced!
Thank you for all of your support and involvement. It takes a strong team to create and maintain a positive and productive educational environment and the collaboration and camaraderie that exists here at Quantum between our staff and families is exceptional.
Here's to even more memory-making experiences this year!
Gratefully,
Jeremy Lyche, Principal
Tonight’s the Night, Quantum Families! Skip the cooking and do good with Chipotle!

Parent Conferences are coming up on Oct 9th and 10th. There will be no school on these days so our staff can meet with families to discuss progress. Teachers will share information about conferences with parents via Rooms.
We know that accidents happen and students will sometimes require a cast, crutches, splint, etc. (Mr. Lyche remembers breaking his arm in a 4th grade kickball game!).
If your student is ever injured and needs any ambulatory assistance or is wearing any medical apparatus such as a cane, crutches, cast or splint, please be sure to submit a detailed doctor's note in order for them to be at school. This provides guidance for our school staff when it comes to restrictions and necessary accommodations.
Our first family lunch day for 4th grade students will be Friday, October 17th at 11:20-12:00.
Family Lunch Day for 8th Grade will be Wednesday, October 22nd from 12:20-1:00.
Families can bring food or your child can eat the school lunch. Families must remain in the designated lunch area and we ask that students stay in school until the end of the day.
We hope to see you there!

All 2nd-grade students in EUSD have the opportunity to participate in universal GATE screening in November. In addition, parents and teachers may recommend students not previously screened in grades 3 through 8 to be screened for GATE eligibility.
If you are interested in having your child screened for GATE identification, please stop by the front office to pick up the Parent Background and Input Form. All forms need to be returned by Friday, October 24. Our school team will review requests and determine which students will be eligible to be screened in November.
