Dear Our Lady Queen of Angels School Community,

I am very grateful for this opportunity to lead OLQA school. I will continue to listen to our teachers, parents, and students. We are all partners in this enterprise of providing the best learning experience to our kids. Thank you for your support and your trust.

We continue to remind our families that arriving at school on a timely basis is critical to starting our day on a positive note. I enjoy seeing our students dressed and groomed appropriately, following our dress policies. Our teachers will be sending a reminder regarding our dress code expectations to the parents in their grade. Let’s finish our school year on a high note.

Below please find an exciting report of our recent High School Time Machine Fundraiser outlining the success of our event and breaking down our costs. I'd like to thank our entire school family for supporting this Annual Fundraiser and helping us raise $375,470 to go directly to the school. Our Admin Team will be identifying areas where these funds will have the most impact and will work with our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) board to allocate these funds to our school.

Blessings,

Dr. Ramon S. Morales

REMINDERS

During morning drop off, do not make a left turn by the AAC into the school blacktop carline. Be sure to go around to make a right turn into the school blacktop lot.

Please have your student bring a lunch with them to school in the morning or order through Choice Lunch. Parents are not to drop off fastfood to be delivered to your student.

PTO NOMINATING COMMITTEE

Our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is seeking volunteers to serve on its Nominating Committee. NOTE: If you served on the Nominating Committee last year, are currently on the PTO board, or are seeking a position for next year, you are not eligible to serve on this committee.

The Nominating Committee is responsible for reviewing all nominations for open Board positions and slating the 2024/2025 PTO Board. There needs to be 1 representative for each of the following grade level ranges: TK-2, 3-5, 6-8 plus an alternate. The Nominating Committee meets in mid-May to slate officers. If you are interested in serving, please email the PTO Parliamentarian Kristin Panehal at ptoparliamentarian@olqa.org

BUY TICKETS HERE! The Annual Pickleball Tournament is coming up quickly and tickets are going fast. The class with the most parent participation WINS a Kona Ice Party!

In the Hawaiian tradition, the giving of a lei symbolizes love, respect, honor and accomplishment. OLQA is selling orchid leis for students to receive after the graduation ceremony.
