Keep an eye out for news about….
· After school clubs, coming after parent teacher conferences. This year with the help of AmeriCorps member, Megan Chase, we will be expanding to 3 days a week of homework club as well as interest clubs. Volunteers needed!

Quatama Elementary has recently been named a “Community School” by the Washington County Commission on Children and Families. This honor is in recognition of our work with and support from the community. Not only do we have a strong active parent group, The Coyote Community Club or CCC, but we also have connections with area businesses and government entities. From our garden in the community garden, to our newest sponsorship by Whole Foods, to Synopsys math volunteers, to our Green School status, Quatama students have the opportunity to learn how they can make a difference in the world. They also see the value that the community puts on quality education and have opportunities to show appreciation for that. Quatama thanks our local neighborhood for its support!
