Asbestos Inspection Letter to Parents 2021-2022

An Asbestos Inspection will be performed on Friday August 20, 2021 . There is one piece of asbestos in the boiler room of the school above the boiler. It poses no threat to the health of any child or school worker. The following letter is required to inform parents and custodial staff of its presence. For those of you who are graduates of OLQM you may remember that 98% of the asbestos was removed from the school in the summer of 1984. You may fondly remember that it was not completed on time and that school began one week later than everyone else.

Dear Parents,
Although you may not realize it, asbestos is a common material in almost every building in our society. It is a fireproofing material; it is found in floor tiles, it is used as an acoustical material to deaden sound. Under certain conditions, however, when it is damaged, asbestos can prove to be a concern.

Several years ago, because of that concern, the Federal Government asked every school in the country to conduct an inspection for all asbestos-containing materials.
The inspection of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs School revealed asbestos-containing materials in the basement of the school. It is as the Environmental Protection Agency states, "important to note that not all friable asbestos-containing material need be removed from schools. Once such material has been identified, a program can be implemented to insure that the material is maintained in good condition, and that appropriate precautions are followed when the material is disturbed for any reason."

Nevertheless, in order to insure that no danger arises in the future from the friable asbestos, we have arranged corrective action.

Furthermore, in any student access area where friable asbestos has been detected, environmental engineers have been retained to do inspection and evaluation work in order to advise what, if any, steps are required to insure the ongoing welfare of students and staff, and to assure that no student or staff member will be exposed to unsafe levels of friable asbestos. The Archdiocese of New York has spent over 10 million dollars in the abatement of asbestos since 1983 (long before the current regulations), and will continue with its commitment to provide a safe environment for our students and employees.


The management plan is available to all parents and staff for review on 
Sundays from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM.

Some clarifications regarding Breakfast and Lunch

1. Breakfast is served daily in all classrooms from        8:00 AM - 8:20 AM. The women in the kitchen are paid only from 7:30 AM - 8:30 AM by the federal program that supplies the food. Parents who are late should not expect the class to stop to serve food again.

2. Lunch is served in the classrooms for all PreK Classes. Grades K-8 eat lunch in the school lunchroom following the CDC (Center for Disease Control) guidelines.

3. FFVP - on the menu refers to the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program that is served 3 days of the week only. 

4. Paper menus will be sent home beginning today on 11x17 paper - please check your child's bookbag.  They no longer will be sent via e-mail. 

5. Parents are welcome to send lunch with their child if they feel the child is a picky eater. There are no microwaves permitted to be used to heat food so please send either cold food or food in a thermos. 

6. Students are not permitted to take their lunchbox etc. to the backyard when leaving the lunchroom as they notoriously forget to bring it home causing a search and rescue mission for the lost lunchbox. 


                              PreK For All Program

3:00 PM 

You may have noticed on Friday that crowd control ropes needed to be put up due to a number of Grandparents/parents trying to skip the line/enter the church doors.  Some seem to be just plain trying to cause a ruckus at dismissal by yelling their child's/ grandchild's name out.

Each teacher along with the classroom aides, Mrs. Zogda,  Mr. Woods are present at dismissal. Each grandparent/parent should wait in an ORDERLY manner for their child to be released by the classroom teacher.



          Parent Meetings with Mr. Woods

Parents who wish to see Mr. Woods may see him on Sundays from 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

There is no need for an appointment. Parents are required to wear a mask when seeing Mr. Woods.

Sundays appointments keep within the guidelines of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) as no parents visitors are permitted in the school while children are present.

The cleaning company cleans the building nightly after everyone has left including Sundays. 


Grades K-8

Parents should accept the invitation to join their child's Google Classroom account. This way they can keep in touch with the teacher about assignments/projects.

The teacher's e-mail address were listed on this blog last week and should they have a problem please e-mail your child's teacher who will work on rectifying any problems.

We are happy to announce that Mr. Montas, the science teacher in grades 4-8 will be participating in the Berlin Marathon next week. This will be Mr. Montas' first marathon and we wish hip luck as he runs 26 miles through the streets of Berlin.
