Quantum Academy Parent Bulletin #11

New Librarian at Quantum!

A bearded man in a light blue button-up shirt and dark jeans stands in front of wooden bookshelves filled with colorful books in what appears to be a school library.

We’re excited to introduce Mr. St. Lucas as our new QA librarian!

He's already been working with our students to make the library a place where they can explore new books, build their love of reading, and make the most of our library.

What's even more special is that he’s also a proud long-term QA parent! We’re so happy to have you here at Quantum, Mr. St. Lucas!

Color Run!

  • 8th Grade Harbor Cruise
  • Materials for Enrichment Classes
  • Field Trips
  • Teacher Appreciation Events
  • School Rewards
  • Garden Supplies

Please help us fuel another EPIC year here at Quantum Academy by donating and sharing the link with family, friends and neighbors. Looking for the details? Check your inbox on Wednesday for everything you need to know in our Color Run Info email.

Perfect Attendance Recognition

Here at Quantum, so much happens each day that just cannot be replaced when students are absent or tardy. This past Wednesday, Mr. Lyche rewarded Quantum students who had "Perfect attendance" for the month of September with a district-approved ice cream treat at lunch. These students were at school on-time every single school day during the month of September.

We know kiddos get sick and some appointments just cannot be rescheduled and if a student is tardy or absent on any given day, they will have a fresh opportunity in each of the following months to earn the treat throughout the year.

We’re proud to recognize our students for showing up and making attendance a priority. Everyday Counts! Thank you to our PTA for providing the funding for these treats!

6th Grade Family Lunch Day this Wednesday

Five young opossums huddle together in straw bedding beside a small black tray of sliced fruit and green grapes.

Our family lunch day for 6th grade students will take place on Wednesday, October 14th from 11:40-12:20. Families can bring food or your child can eat the school-provided lunch.

Eating begins at 11:40. Students and families can stay as long as they would like up until 12:20.

After eating, families are invited to join students on the playground if they would like. After lunch is over, we ask that students stay in school until the end of the day.

El Pollo Loco Restaurant Day on 10/14

Get ready for our 1st restaurant fundraiser of the year ALL DAY on October 14th at El Pollo Loco at 1408 East Valley.

Tell everyone you know to head over for breakfast, lunch or dinner and be sure to show the digital flyer or tell them you are with Quantum Academy when you order and El Pollo Loco will donate 40% back to QA!

For 6th grade families, this can be a great way to bring some yummy food to family lunch while also raising funds for Quantum!
