Dear Families and Friends of OLQP:

                The school year is off to a great start! The halls are alive with learning. Students (and parents) are becoming acclimated to the routine.  The Catholic school philosophy of education is based on recognizing parents as the primary educators of their children. Because we work with parents in a partnership, Catholic schools can accomplish great things. As the transition is made from summer break to fall semester, some things parents can do to support teachers and the process of education are:

                Establish routines whereby students have their uniforms ready and put their books, homework, signed papers, etc. in the same place each evening before bedtime to ensure a smooth exit in the morning.

                Ensure healthy sleep habits by ending "screen time" an hour or two before the scheduled bedtime. Observe what is best for your child and adjust accordingly.

               If your child has a cell phone, make sure you know where it is at night. Check the history to ensure that there are not late night texts and such that would interrupt sleep. (Middle school parents must be vigilant! Check under their pillows!)

               Provide a healthy breakfast that is low in sugar and includes protein. Also, hydration is extremely important. Students may bring water bottles to school. They have access to water fountains and are able to re-fill them.

                Provide balance in your family schedule: a time for homework, physical activity, recreation, socializing, and family prayer.

                Maintain open communication with faculty and administration. Email correspondence is efficient. If you have a need that is time sensitive, please let the receptionist know because teachers may not check their email until the end of the school day depending on the schedule and commitments for the day.

The faculty and staff of OLQP are whole-heartedly committed to serve your children and your family as we work together to help students on their journey to become the people God has created them to be. We are working and praying every day for God's grace to live the mission and ministry of this very special school:
