School Value Survey
A Catholic School Values template has
been developed by St. John's University
to assist Catholic Schools in understanding
their role in education today. If you would
like to be able to voice your choices on the
values you see and experience here at
OLQM please send an e-mail to Mr. Woods at
olqm1@aol.com. Mr. Woods will forward you the
questionnaire that you should return either
by e-mail or in hard copy to Alba in the
school office. At the end of the month Mr. Woods
will publish the results here on the blog.

New York City Department of Health Screening
To say the least it was amazing to see the results
of the screening for vision by the Department of Health.
Over 1/2 of students in grades Kindergarten, Grades 1
and Grade 2 are in need of glasses.
School success in all subject areas can only
be accomplished if the student can see what is
on the Smartboard, what is in their textbooks,
what the teacher is pointing to on a chart.
It is utterly unacceptable that a parent would
just think to remark --"... move my child to the
front of the classroom or closer to the teacher.;.."
will enable them to see.
Please address the letters sent home with an
ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
