Quantum Parent Bulletin #7

Birds dancing with caption "Let's have some fun!"

Classes start this week! Please refer to information emailed to you from Ms. Miramontes, our ELOP coordinator, for specifics on classes. Quarks should head to the lunch tables after school to meet their class.

Students will need to be picked-up promptly at 4pm when classes end unless they are returning to the YMCA program.

This year at Quantum, we're very excited about a program we're utilizing called ClassBank, a school-wide banking system where each student has their own virtual checking and savings account.

Students earn a salary for not only being a student but also for completing various jobs in the classroom. On top of their salary, students can receive bonus cash via positive classroom/playground behavior, school service, random acts of kindness, etc. With their salary and bonuses, students will then have bills to pay such as rent and utilities. Also, students who exhibit negative behavior in the classroom or on the playground can be fined - just as an adult can be fined for not following the speed limit.

After all bills and fines are paid, students will be able to use their remaining funds to shop at our online Quantum Student Store (similar to Amazon) with items purchased being delivered on Thursday mornings. We are excited for our students to learn important budgeting skills while also recognizing how self-discipline, positive character, leadership, and hard work can lead to financial rewards.

You can find more information on the program at www.classbank.com. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher.

We are excited to host our first movie night for our 4th & 5th grade students this Thursday, September 18 from 12:45-2:45. The movie will be "How to Train Your Dragon (Live Action)".

Permission slips were sent home last week with all of the details. If you would like your child to attend, please send back the permission slip right away. Please note that even if your child attends the YMCA program, they will still need a permission slip to attend this event.

A huge thank you to our PTA for sponsoring these movie nights for our students!

Our first family lunch day will be for 7th grade students on Wednesday, 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!

The 10-day countdown is ON! There are only 10 days left in our PTA Membership Drive, and the competition is heating up. The class with the most memberships will win a Frozen Yogurt Party from Yogurtland.

We have an amazing garden here at Quantum where we grow plants, fruit, and vegetables. We even have chickens! We are currently looking for any volunteers who would be willing to help with working with students as well as maintain our garden.

If you would like to volunteer in our garden, please email our Family Liaison, Dessaly Flores, at deflores@eusd.org.
