What a great school year! Thank you for sharing your children with us, it has been a year of blessings. On behalf of Fr. Dan, Fr. Vitner and the faculty and staff of Mary Queen School, we wish you a relaxing and sunshine filled summer. We look forward to seeing you in August.

Our school Mass will be Friday, May 25 at 8:15. This is our last Mass of the year followed by our third trimester awards ceremony.
May 25
The last day of school. Can you believe we are talking about that? We will start our last day of school with Mass at 8:15 followed by our third trimester awards ceremony. Our third trimester awards ceremony will look a little different as we do not award Principal's List or Honors Awards. Our students will be working up to the end so the teachers will still be collecting grades. Principal's List and Honors will be ready for pick up with the last report card after June 1.
A reminder that the last day will be a full day of school. Lunch will be served but there will not be after school care provided.
Summer Clinic
The University of Kentucky Communication Sciences and Disorders Clinic is again offering their Summer Clinic for students ages 3-8 who have mild to moderate articulation, phonological, and language delays. It runs 2 half-days per week for 3 weeks and costs $300 per 3-week session (some financial assistance is available).  Students will experience both group and individual activities.  If you are interested, please call Kim West at 218-0584 (U.K.) or Susie Cutshall 277-3030 (MQHR).

Immunizations
Any student entering the 6th grade, Kindergarten, Preschool or are new to Mary Queen are required to have a physical exam and be up-to-date on all immunizations


Vaccinations for 18-19 School Year
The state of KY is implementing new immunization regulations for ALL students next school year. Students must get the Hepatitis A vaccine, if they haven't already. It is given in two doses, six months apart. In order to be compliant for the 2018-19 school year, the first dose should be given now, in January or February. Schools cannot admit students unless they are immunized and have the new KY immunization certificate on file at the school within two weeks of the start of school. If you have any questions about this, please contact your child's physician or Margaret Jones, Program Manager, KY Immunization Program at 502-564-4478 ext. 4257 or Melissa Eastman, Adolescent Immunization Coordinator at 502-564-4478 ext. 4254
