Prayer for the first Week of Lent
Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you might to save; through Jesus Messiah your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, on God, non and for ever. Amen.

SMART Tuition Company
Many parents have expressed concern regarding the fees that have been posted on your recent tuition statement. The fees are posted for you to remember that they are part of the tuition contract that you signed either at registration or re-registration. Late fees are NOT charged if you cannot pay the fees by this month. Late fees ONLY apply to tuition balances and may be addressed if you meet with Mr. Woods BEFORE tuition is due for that month. Once the fees have been applied then it is too late. As Mr. Woods explained at Ash Wednesday Mass SMART tuition company is the Archdiocese of New York's tuition company for ALL schools.

Re-Registration due
As a reminder re-registration is due by February 28th.
If you have already decided not to return to OLQM please inform Mrs. Resto or Alba so that we may offer your seat to a student coming from a closing Catholic school. We have begun to register students coming from closing schools already and you may be put on a waiting list if you do not re-register by February 28th.
PreK-2 (Mrs. Rodriguez's class) and third grade (Ms. Saville's) parents are strongly reminded to re-register as soon as possible.
