OLQP Parents are Awesome!
Thank you to all our parents who have followed our new student Drop-Off and Pick-Up procedures. Remember, if you decide to park on the playground, you must leave before 7:30am otherwise you must remain parked until 7:45am.
Also, as a reminder, we are asking parents to please park their vehicles and walk onto the playground to pick up your child.
With the craziness of the construction on 27th Street, we want to thank you again for your cooperation and understanding.

Please make a note, due to scheduling conflicts, our May Crowning is no longer on Thursday, May 8th, instead it will take place on Friday, May 9th.

St. Gerard Scholarship
A few weeks ago, the St. Gerard Scholarship form was sent home to families who may be interested in applying for it to pay for their 2014/2015 school tuition. If you have not already done so, please take a moment to fill out the application and return it to the school office NO LATER than Monday, April 14th.
Choice Applications
April’s enrollment period is now open and we are able to accept Choice Applications for the 2014/2015 school year. Please call the school office to set up time to fill out your application. Also at that time, I will inform you what you need to bring to complete your application.
Registration for 2014/2015
Open enrollment for new students to OLQP has begun. If you have not already returned the registration form for the 2014/2015 school year, please take a moment to fill out the form and return it to the school office. Also, if you have new students enrolling, please make sure to include them on the registration form.
Gym Uniforms
It has been brought to our attention that students in grades 6th-8th are not wearing the correct gym uniform that was issued to them. This is the OLQP navy blue t-shirt and navy blue shorts or they may wear their own SOLID navy blue t-shirt and shorts/sweatpants. NO OTHER COLOR SHORTS AND T-SHIRTS may be worn. If your child is not wearing the proper attire, they will be issued an out-of-uniform violation. After 3 out of uniform violations, they will be issued a detention that will need to be served after school.
Office News
Please make a point to visit our new website. We recently have created a Facebook account for OLQP, so please take a moment to like our page. Lastly, remember to check both regularly for the latest updates and events happening at OLQP.
Please remember that if your child has not been picked up from school by 2:50pm they will be sent to extended care. They are NOT allowed to stand, unsupervised, at the back door and wait for their ride. Also, when picking your child up from extended care, parents are required to come into school and sign their child out with the time they were picked up at.
Tardy Passes
Please remind your child that if they arrive at school later than 7:45am, they MUST stop in the school office before going to class to receive a tardy pass as well as inform us if they will be having hot lunch.
School Absences
Please remember that if your child is going to be absent, a parent/guardian must phone or e-mail the school office before 9:00am. In addition to a phone call, State Law requires a written, dated note for any absence. The note must have your child’s name, the date(s) your child was absent and the parent/guardians’ signature.
School Field Trips/
Playground Duty
Please remember that in order to chaperone a school field trip or volunteer in the school it is required by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee that you complete the “Safeguarding All God’s Family” training course and submit your completion form to the school office.
In order to register for a course, you need to go to archmil.org and click on the “Safeguarding All God’s Family” link, then click on the upcoming sessions link. You then can scroll through the different upcoming sessions and choose the one that best fits your schedule.
