Quantum Parent Bulletin #39
May 26, 2026
Quantum is a unique school in many ways and our schedule has been designed to provide differentiated instruction and tap into students' creativity and empower them to become self-directed learners. In addition to receiving instruction in the traditional subjects of Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, and PE, Quantum students also have the opportunity to participate in specialized classes below each day.
iGrow Time (8:15-9:15)
- iGrow takes place during the first hour of the day and is a time when students receive differentiated instruction and activities based on their needs.
- Students with pull-out services in their IEP are pulled out to receive support every day except Thursday.
- English Learners receive their English Language Development instruction.
- Social-emotional learning (SEL) lessons using the Second Step and Thrively curriculum.
All Students - Enrichment/Genius Hour/House Weeks (1:55-2:45)
- Students will take up to 10 different Enrichment classes each year, with each class lasting 2 weeks. During the first few weeks of school, students will select their enrichment classes which fall under the domains of the Arts, Engineering, Multimedia, Programming, and our Core 4 values.
- Genius Hour is a time for students to explore and create a passion project that is personally meaningful to them. There are 3 different Genius Hour rotations during the year with each one lasting 4 weeks.
- Students are placed in multi-grade "Houses" (think Harry Potter) and hold team-building activities as well as school-wide competitions in House Weeks throughout the year together.
If you ever have any questions about our schedule here at Quantum, please reach out to any of your child's teachers or our Family Liaison, Dessy Flores, at deflores@eusd.org.
