Successful School Tip!!
Confidence can make the difference in a child who
tried new things and one who sits on the sidelines.
Remember to praise your child for their good work.
This also will raise their self-confidence.

Washington DC Meeting
Gym Uniforms
The re-scheduled mandatory Washington DC
meeting will be on Tuesday, October 14th @
6:00pm for the students in 7th/8th grade who
will be going on the trip in March 2015. At
this meeting we are hoping to get our final
numbers of who is going so that we can give
you the final cost of the trip. Also, please
remember that the initial down payment of
$400 is due. We will be sending home your
account balance to all the students who have
been fundraising. Your down payment can
be deducted from this balance.
Last week, gym uniforms were handed out.
Students in grades 6th-8th MUST be in the
correct gym uniform. This is the OLQP navy
blue t-shirt and navy blue shorts or they may
wear their own SOLID navy blue t-shirt and
shorts/sweatpants. Students who are not in
their gym uniform will be issued an out of
uniform violation. If they receive 3 out of
uniform violations they will receive a
detention.
Candy Bar Sale
StandardsScore
As many of you are already aware as you
attempt to try and log into your child’s
StandardsScore account you are not being
allowed access.
We have contacted
StandardsScore and they have been having
trouble on their end that they hope to have
cleared up by this weekend. We will keep
you posted on the progress and would like to
thank you for your patience as they fix their
issues.
Candy is available in the school office for any
family who is interested in selling. Please
have your child stop in to pick up a box.
Proceeds raised will be used to purchase
another Smartboard for a classroom or if
your child is a 7th or 8th grader going on the
2015 Washington DC trip, the money your
family raises will be used to offset the cost of
the trip. Any questions, please contact the
school office at 414-672-6660.
Morning Drop Off
Arrival and Dismissal
In the morning when you are dropping your
children off at school, please walk them
around to the back of the building.
Unfortunately when both doorbells are being
rung it cancels them out and we are unable to
unlock either door. Thank you in advance
for your cooperation.
For the safety of our students, when dropping
and picking your children up daily, we ask
that you please park in the Marcus parking
lot and walk your child onto the playground.
If you are parked on the school playground
after 7:30am or 2:30pm the barricade will be
up and the cadets have been instructed not to
move it to allow vehicles to exit. Thank you
for your cooperation.
School Field Trips/
Playground Duty
Please remember that in order to chaperone a
school field trip or volunteer in the school it is
required by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee
that you complete the “Safeguarding All God’s
Family” training course and submit your
completion form to the school office.
In order to register for a course, you need to
go to archmil.org and click on the
“Safeguarding All God’s Family” link, then
click on the upcoming sessions link. You
then can scroll through the different
upcoming sessions and choose the one that
best fits in your schedule.
After School Tutoring
On Monday, September 15th we started
partnering with Veritas High School for after
school help with homework for students in
grades 3rd-8th. They will be sending over
students from their school on Mondays and
Thursdays as well as the first and third
Tuesdays of the month from 2:45pm-3:45pm.
There is no cost for this additional homework
help and we hope that students will take
advantage of this opportunity.
Middle School Service Project

can turn in for cash for our school:
Please remind your child that if they arrive at
school later than 7:45am, they MUST stop in
the school office before going to class to
receive a tardy pass as well as inform us if
they will be having hot lunch.
