Dear Queen of Martyrs Families,


We had a great start to the year! Thank you to the FSA and all of our parent volunteers who made the Back to School Bash and 1st day of classes such a success!


As we prepare for our first full week of school, we are also going to experience very high temperatures on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Each of our classrooms have AC but students should bring a water bottle with them to school and stay hydrated.


Reminder: Monday is a 1:30 Dismissal for Teacher Professional Developmental Meetings.

1:30pm dismissals will generally occur on the last Monday of each month. Note: there is no 1:30 dismissal in September due to Gianna Fest.

Important Routines and Procedures


Drop Off and Pick Up

First Bell rings at 7:50am. Students may begin lining up outside at 7:40-7:45am. Students may enter through the Main Entrance under the canopy on 103rd Street and the breezeway entrance in the St. Joseph Parking Lot.


Parents may park in the St. Louis Lot or the middle section of the St. Joseph's lot to

walk your child to the door. 103rd Street is used for drop off only and parents may not exit their cars. Students should exit on the sidewalk side only for their safety.


Note: Faculty and Staff park on the perimeter of the St. Joseph's Lot closest to the school.


On regular school days, dismissal will occur at 2:45pm for all students immediately after an all school prayer at the end of the day. Grades PreK through 3rd grade will be dismissed through the breezeway next to the Church. Grades 4-8 will be dismissed at the Main Entrance.


Uniforms (K-8)

We will begin the year in PE uniforms and gym shoes due to the warm weather. Notice will be given when we return to school uniforms in the fall.


Extended Day

Extended Day Care will begin on Wednesday morning, August 21st(6:30am-7:50am). There is no extended day care on days with 11:30 dismissal, so there will be no extended day in the afternoon on our First Day.

Beginning on Thursday, August 22nd, Extended Day will run from 6:30am until the start of school and 2:45pm-6pm in the afternoon. Forms will be available at the School Supply Drop Off Night. The registration fee is $50 per family. Families can register at the Back to School Bash.

Note: Extended Day will run on 1:30 Early Dismissal Days. 1st 1:30 Early Dismissal is Monday, August 26th.


Absences

Please call the Main Office by 8am to report any absences at 708-422-1540. For early dismissals, a parent must come into the Main Office to sign their child out for the day. If a student will be late to school, please contact the Main Office as well.
