Catholic Identity

It's here! Our favorite time of the year, Catholic Schools Week! We are so looking forward to all the fun and excitement this week will bring. In preparation for Catholic Schools Week, teachers in the Diocese of Lexington were surprised this week with a visit from the Superintendent to thank and honor them for their dedication to Catholic Schools. Mary Queen received a visit in honor of our fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Biega, who has lovingly served our community for 35 years! We thank Mrs. Biega for her love and service to our children and pray for another 35 years :) of service, our students are blessed!

We will be dismissing at 1:00 on Friday, February 3 with no aftercare so that we can take our staff out to lunch for Catholic Schools Week

It's Sibling Time!


This is it. At 3:00 today, we will be turning over our registration and opening it up to new students. Any siblings of current students will be part of the new registration process after today. If you have not yet registered your current student's sibling, please do so today.

Registration

Registration for in-school families has been applied to your family's FACTS account. Payment of the registration fee secures your child's spot for the next school year. With the changes and additions to the registration process through FACTS, fees will be raised beginning with registration on and after January 29, 2023. Between now and January 28, your registration fee is $200. Beginning January 29, the registration fee is being increased to $250 to cover the rising costs of the registration process. If you haven't yet paid your registration fee, now is the time.
