Prayer of St. Ephrem -  Feast Day June 9th 

Lord and Master of my life,

do not give me a spirit of laziness or idle curiosity,

of ambition or empty talk.

Instead, grant to me, your servant,

a spirit of self-control and humility,

of patience and love

Yes, Lord and King,

enable me to see my own failings,

and not to judge my brother or sister,

for you are blessed unto the ages of ages.

Amen.

Regis Reach Program

We are happy to announce that Antonio Rivera of the 5th grade has been accepted to the Regis Reach Program this past week.

Antonio joins Mathias Dominguez of the 6th grade in the Reach Program which stresses high academics, summer learning and Saturday learning.

Some parents may know that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert in the US, attended Regis High School. Regis High School is run by the Jesuits, the same order of religious that run Fordham University. 

We wish both Antonio and Mathias continued academic success.

NWEA MAP testing begins this week for students in grades K-8 both in-person and remote students.

Parents are reminded that students who are taking the test remotely must have their camera on and parental involvement should be minimal especially in Kindergarten and first grade.

These tests are measures of student growth and as such are used to determine any assistance a child will need in September when students will all be returning to school in person. 

Report Card Progress and Summer School

The third quarter report card notified  parents if their child will be required to attend summer school in order to be promoted to the next grade.  There is ample time -- 3 weeks of school remaining for students to improve their grades in order to avoid summer school.

The report card will note that Summer Summer in PERSON is a requirement for promotion.

The summer school program is free and open to open to all students. Students who are failing will be required to attend in person for the whole program which will be held here at OLQM.

Progress Reports will be sent home on June 1st indicating child's status academically.

Also as listed in the parent/student handbook children who have been absent more than 20 school days will be retained in that grade.

As always parents may see Mr. Woods on Sundays from 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM with any of their concerns regarding their child's progress, summer school or promotion to the next grade.

There is no appointment needed for parents to see Mr. Woods on Sundays.

The tentative schedule for Summer School is:

Begins June 30, 2021

Ends August 12, 2021

Class from 8:00 AM -12:00 noon

Monday to Thursday

Breakfast and Lunch served.

An email should have been received by all parents about the Summer Program.
