Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."

Welcome back! We are so excited to have all our new and returning families back at school. I am sure everyone enjoyed their summer but it sure is good to have the kids back at school - we missed them!

We will be attending Mass tomorrow, Thursday, as a school community to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption, a Holy Day of Obligation. Mass is at 8:15 am and we would love for you all to join us for Mass. Parents and Guardians are encouraged to sit with the students but if you would like to sit with your children elsewhere in church, please make sure your child's teacher knows where you are and please send them back to the teacher after Mass.

It is going to be a great school year!

All parents, friends, staff, visitors - really anyone who enters the building when children are present must be in compliance with our Safe Environment Policy. If you were certified under the VIRTUS system, you are going to be asked to re-certify under the CMG system. If you are certified under CMG and your background check is 5 years old or older, you are going to have to re-certify. The whole process takes about an hour which includes a background check for $19 which will be billed to you through FACTS account. Thank you for your patience and good humor as we get everyone ready to volunteer for the new year!

  1. We will need you to complete the Volunteer application.
  2. Create or sign in to CMG Connect.
  3. Complete the training for Volunteers. Here is a flow chart with details on the process. 
Cross Country
We are looking forward to Mary Queen’s fifth season of Cross Country for 3rd -8th graders! Our first practice will be Monday August 19, 2019 at 5:30PM. We practice on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30. Practices consist of running various distances on the school grounds and Southland Park or around the community. For practices, runners need their PE uniform or other running clothing and we suggest a good pair of running shoes. Meets are from the beginning of September and run through October. Runners will compete against others of their own age and gender during meets.
