Quantum Parent Bulletin #5
September 1, 2025
To build community, foster school spirit, and to promote relationships between our grade levels, we now have five houses that will compete in fun challenges and spirit building events throughout the year. The houses are similar to the concept in Harry Potter where students across the grade levels are organized into different houses.
This past Wednesday, we had a cup-stack challenge and this past Friday, we had a spirit day where students were encouraged to wear the color that represented their house. Also on Friday, we had a special assembly where each house unveiled their houses' banner and an update was shared about the current status of house points. See below for the current scoreboard where the Cosmic Crusaders are leading with 135 points followed by Neutrino Ninjas with 134, Atom Igniters and Lepton Legends at 133, and the Plasma Punks with 118.
To those of you who attended Back to School Night, you earned House Points for your student's house! Joining the PTA also earned House Points! Throughout the year, we'll share more ways you can support your student’s involvement in our Quantum community on campus.
Our district is excited to once again offer a band elective to our students. Band will take place during school on Tuesday mornings (students who participate will not miss out on instruction in core academic areas). To register your child for a class, please click below.
Please note that the form says "Elementary Band" but it applies to all of our students in grades 4-8.
We host two Family Days at lunch for families per grade level per year where we invite families to come and hang out with their Quark(s) during lunch. Please refer to the School Events Calendar for the days by grade level (we'll also share them in our weekly bulletins as they get closer).
Our first family lunch day will be for 7th grade students on Friday Sept 24th at 12:20-1:00. Families can bring food for their child 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 all our 7th grade families there!
Have you ever considered coming to work at Quantum on an as-needed basis? We need some substitute noon-time supervisors and para-educators (Special Education aides) and would love to find some awesome Quantum parents to fill the needs when they arise. Please click below if you'd like to apply!

While we appreciate the joy and excitement that accompanies our students’ birthdays, we do not allow parents to bring food items to their child’s classroom due to dietary restrictions, food allergies, and the varied nutritional preferences of our parent population. We encourage parents to consider bringing non-food items such as pencils, stickers, stamps, etc. for classmates.
We also invite parents to have their child’s name posted on our marquee as part of our PTA’s “Birthday Marquee” program. Submit the Birthday Marquee form along with $10 and we’ll post your child’s name on the marquee.
Below are some upcoming events to mark on your calendar. We'll be sending out more specific information about these events as they draw nearer.
