Health Room Forms and Information

School is in session on Aug. 21
In your beginning of the year packet, you received a permission form for students in grades 2-8. These permission forms should be completed and returned to school by ASAP but by Friday at the latest. Our PreK - 1st grade students will watch the eclipse on the televisions in their classrooms.

Any parents that would like to join us for the viewing are welcome to, just come to school and sign in by 2:15 and you can go out and experience God's beautiful eclipse with us.

We do have about 50 extra solar eclipse glasses that we will sell for $1 each. If you are interested in purchasing our extra glasses, just send your payment to the school office marked "solar eclipse glasses" and I will send them home to you. They are first come, first served.

If you have amazing plans of your own for Solar Eclipse viewing or if you feel that you would rather keep your child at home, absences or early dismissals on this day will be excused.
Dismissl is different on August 21, please read the important dismissal information in your beginning of the year packet.
Welcome back to school! If you have any yard signs for Mary Queen, would you mind returning them to school so that we can use them again next year?

Please send us any of those beginning of the year pics, we would love to have them. Please email them to lsoldato@mq.cdlex.org

If you or someone in your household is between the ages of 18 - 30, would you please take the time to complete this survey on Youth, Faith and Vocational Discernment?  It will take less than 10 minutes and will give us valuable information.  Thank you!

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
