Dear Queen of Martyrs Families,


It's hard to believe its August already and school is just 3 weeks away!


Finishing touches are being made on the newly renovated Junior High classrooms and teachers will be back for beginning of the year Professional Development before we know it. We're excited for the new school year!


Fall Sports

QM Athletics is gearing up and practices will begin in the coming days. If you haven't had a chance to register for Soccer, Football, Cheerleading, or Girls Basketball, there is still time. Teams are still looking for a couple more students to join the teams! See the registration links below!


Back to School Bash and Family Mass

All QM Families are invited to our Back to School Family Mass on Sunday, August 18th at 10:30am. Students should bring their backpacks for a special blessing at Mass.


The Mass will be followed by a Back to School BBQ and Celebration with fun for all. See information below. Families can also visit their classrooms and meet their teachers. Newly ordered uniforms will be available for pickup at the Main Office and school supplies can be dropped off in the classroom after Mass. Information regarding clubs, Parent Organizations, and Extended Day Care will also be available at the Bash.


School Supplies

The school supply list is available on the website through School Toolbox. By clicking on the grade level, parents can print the list to purchase items at local stores as well. School supplies can be dropped off on Sunday, August 18th after the Family Mass in the classrooms.


Enrollment

Our admissions officer, Mrs. Meagan O'Connor-Roossien, continues to be hard at work giving tours and welcoming new families to QM. To date, we have added over 40+ new families to our community and we have been busy with giving tours these past few weeks. If you know of families considering Catholic education at QM, please pass them along to Meagan at admissions@qmschool.com. Word of mouth from our parents is the best recruiting tool we have!


Summer Hours

The Main Office will reopen on Monday, August 5th until Tuesday, August 13th from 8am-12pm. Regular school hours will begin on Wednesday, August 14th.
