Quantum Family Connection
Week of September 23, 2024
Hello Quantum Families,
We can’t wait to show you everything we’ve been working on during Genius Hour! Our Genius Hour showcase is this Friday, Sept 27th from 1:25-2:30. Family members and the community are all invited to see the final projects! Students will present their projects to others and will also go and see other projects. This public opportunity to present for students is about developing their research, QA values, confidence, and leadership skills and will not be perfect, especially the first time! The schedule will be sent in Rooms by the Homeroom teacher. All are welcome!
We are partnering with Love Esco to install DG in our garden. The event is Saturday, Sept 28th at 8am and we are looking for volunteers! Students who attend will need to attend with their families. Sign up to volunteer here! We can’t wait to get this last piece of construction done so we can regularly use our beautiful garden.
Conferences
Conferences are coming up and teachers will send sign up information this week in Rooms. We encourage ALL families to sign up for a Conference time to connect with teachers about your Quark’s progress. These times where we connect with families are truly special for us so please take advantage of this opportunity.
Attendance
Attendance continues to be a focus all year-long for EUSD schools. When students miss school unnecessarily, they miss out on time to work with their partners on Genius Hour projects, they miss games with friends during lunch bunch, and they miss interacting with their teachers. Students will take home a refrigerator magnet this week with a calendar for the year. Please plan vacations and appointments around scheduled breaks or after school, if at all possible. Thank you for making on time every day attendance for your Quark(s) a priority.
Celebrating Positive Behaviors
We are celebrating safe, respectful, responsible, and scholarly behavior this week with some deep discounts at our Student Store, opening on Thursday and Friday. Every day this week students have opportunities to earn more Quark Leader Cards to spend at the store. Tomorrow is a Padres vs. Dodgers Spirit Day and if students dress up they will earn a ticket redeemable for 1 Quark Leader Card to spend at the store! We are proud of our students for following our school and classroom expectations!
