New Registration and Re-Registration procedures
New registration procedures have been put in place by the Archdiocese of New York for the 2016-2017 school year. Students entering PreK -1 (Mrs. Fundora) or PreK-2 (Mrs. Rodriguez's class) will be requested to register or re-register online with the Archdiocese. This will all begin February 1st and computers have been set up in the hallway outside Alan's office, inside Alan's office and inside the parent conference room to assist parents. Alba, Alan and Brianna will assist parents with the procedure and parents may also do so from home. The website is not up and running as of yet but when it does I will be sending home information.
Also, Alba, Mrs. Resto or Brianna will be calling parents to remind them to re-register by February 28th.
Financial Aid for Kindergarten and new students entering grades 1-6 from public or charter schools
Financial Aid (no longer will it be called scholarships) will be available for students entering Kindergarten here at OLQM. This also will be an online process that Mr. Woods will speak about at meetings he will have with parents from the PreK classes. Again, Alba and Brianna will be of assistance in filing for financial aid. They will scan documents needed etc. for the financial aid process for parents. Through the generosity of donors to the Archdiocese this financial aid will be available for ALL students entering Kindergarten in 2016.There will also be a hot line with TADS the company that has been hired to determine the eligibility and award amounts.
Students therefore in PreK-2, PreK-3, PreK-4 and PreK-5 are eligible for this financial aid. An information packet will be sent home this week and Mr. Woods will speak to parents in Miss Rodriguez, Miss Sanchez, Miss McGarry and Mrs. Reyes class this week.
Also, new students entering grades 1-6 from public or charter schools may apply for financial aid.
