Quantum Parent Bulletin #6

Quantum Academy is proud to have earned Platinum status in PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports), which is the highest level of recognition awarded in California. PBIS is a research-based approach that helps schools create safe, positive, and supportive learning environments by teaching clear behavior expectations, recognizing students for positive choices, and providing extra support when needed.

Platinum status means our school has shown outstanding success in using PBIS strategies, with data showing that the vast majority of our students are meeting expectations and that targeted supports are making a real difference. This recognition reflects the strong teamwork of staff, students, and families in building a school culture where every child can thrive socially and academically.

While we know our school is always a work in progress, we are excited to celebrate this achievement as an important milestone in our ongoing journey to create the best possible learning environment for every student who attends Quantum.

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

Price: Free to all Quantum students who demonstrate safe, responsible, and respectful behaviors.
Snacks and drinks (soda and water) will be sold at the event for $1 per item.
Permission slips were sent home today with all of the details. If you would like your child to attend, please send back the permission slip right away (including students who attend the YMCA).

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

ELAC is a group of parents and staff who work together to support the success of English Learner students, providing parents a voice in school decisions while helping ensure all families feel informed, included, and supported. ELAC meetings are held four times during the school year and all parents are invited to attend.

We currently have two open chair positions on our ELAC (English Learner Advisory Committee):

Vice President
DELAC Representative

If you are interested in serving as a chair member, please contact our Family Liaison, Ms. Dessy, at deflores@eusd.org.

There is still room for boys and girls on all of our 6th, 7th, and 8th flag football teams. Whether your child is an experienced player or new to the game, we encourage him/her to come out and be part of the season.

If your child is interested in playing, please email Lori York at ayork@eusd.org.

During drop-off and pick-up times, please pull all the way up through the loop towards the 4th grade gate and load students on the right side of the vehicle. Pulling forward allows room for cars to pull in behind you, speeding up the process for everyone.

School parking lots can sometimes be frustrating, especially for those of us who might tend to be a little impatient. We ask everyone to remember that our students are watching and learning from us! Please remain patient and courteous when driving through, even if someone else might not be correctly following procedures.

There are just a little over 2 weeks left in our PTA Membership Drive and the competition is heating up!

Our first family lunch day will be for 7th grade students on Wednesday, Sept 24th at 12:20-1:00. Families can arrive at 12:10 and 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!
