Aquatica Fun!
We had a great end to our first week of school with Aquatica Day! Our 7th graders put together a fun-filled day for our school community, and everyone had a great time. We were also happy to have our Deaf & Hard of Hearing students from LR Green and our MTU friends join us for the day!
A big thank you to our 7th graders, teachers, and parent volunteers for making it all possible!
Heat Days
When the weather heats up, it's always a balance for us to give our students opportunities to move and play while keeping them safe and hydrated. When the temperature goes above 95 degrees, we implement our heat day procedures and keep students inside during recess and PE.
Students are encouraged to always bring a water bottle to school with them. Please write your child's name on them in case we find them left around campus! We have drinking fountains in every classroom and around campus for students to refill anytime during the day.
Teacher Wishlists
While our school district provides all of the essentials that our teachers need for their classroom, here at Quantum we go far above and beyond to provide an extraordinary learning experience. To do this, our classes often request unique supplies which we're hoping parents might consider donating.
If you would like to donate, please use the links below. We appreciate your support!
