Greetings Mighty Star Families -
It's pretty amazing that August is almost here! We still have some summer left, but our thoughts have turned towards the upcoming 2025-2026 school year, and we are so excited! We hope you are, too!
Past Due Balances for 2024-2025
Reminders and totals were sent in the mail, letting families know if there were any remaining tuition, fundraising, and/or volunteer balances to reconcile. Please contact the office with any questions, and to either pay or negotiate payments arrangements.
Tuition Agreements for 2025-2026
Tuition and Fee Statements for the upcoming school year will be sent via postal mail with our back-to-school packets next week. Please review the statement and notify us right away if you have questions, concerns, or would like to arrange a payment schedule different from what is listed on the statement.

School Uniform Swap
To assist families in preparing for the upcoming school year, we will be hosting a Uniform Swap here at QPCS!
The Uniform Swap will take place in the school gym after the 5:00 Mass on August 2nd and after the 10:00 Mass on August 3rd. Join us after Mass to shop for free items to outfit your students for the school year!
If you have any new or gently used uniform items you would like to donate, please drop them off in the parish gathering space anytime next week (7/26 - 8/2). There will be collection boxes to place the items in.
All items should be clean and in good condition (no holes, stains, or excessive fading).
Please reference our School Uniform Guide link (attached below) to be sure all donated items fall within our uniform policy requirements.
We already have a nice supply of gently used items and we're hopeful to acquire many more throughout next week. Mark your calendar and we'll see you after Mass on August 2nd and 3rd!
It is with a grateful heart that I announce the departure of our beloved Kindergarten teacher, Jen Parks. Jen has been a wonderful addition to our teaching faculty, and has continued to build our Kindergarten program with love and dedication. Please join me in celebrating her contributions and wishing her every success in her next chapter. She will always remain a cherished part of our story at QPCS.
We are actively looking for a Kindergarten teacher, an After School Club assistant, and substitute teachers for the upcoming school year. Please reach out to Melissa Marti at principal@queenofpeaceschool.org for more information about these positions and how you (or someone you know) can help the important mission at Queen of Peace Catholic School.
FROM PRESCHOOL...
Preschool families are encouraged to see if they qualify for the Early Learning Scholarship. More information and apply below:
Reminder that ALL preschool families need to have several forms completed prior to their first day of attendance. There is a link below to the forms on the Preschool page of our website, and they will be sent in next week's back-to-school packets. You may drop them off in the school office, email them to ksabyan@queenofpeaceschool.org, have them faxed to 218-879-8930 ATTN: Preschool, or bring them to the Open House. The Health Care Summary form needs to be filled out by their child's physician annually.
Emergency Contacts / Authorized Pick-ups - We need to have at least 3 Emergency Contacts that are not parents listed with name, phone number AND address. This was not an option on the registration form. We will enter them into FACTS. If you do not have three Emergency Contacts, please contact the office or Mrs. Sabyan. Feel free to add any additional authorized pickups, as well.

There will be opportunities to "Meet the Teacher," drop off school supplies, sign up for volunteering/fundraising events, choose from our supply of gently used school uniforms (also see above for uniform repair event), and of course, enjoy some ice cream, provided by our School Advisory Board. There will also be a short "State of the School" address at 6:00pm.
Don't forget... 2024-2025 Yearbooks are available for pick up in the school office. If you haven't previously ordered, there are several extra, and ready for purchase for $20. Make sure you pick one up and enjoy last school year's memories for years to come!
Looking forward to seeing you all at the Ice Cream Social. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, either at (218) 879-8516 or at office@queenofpeaceschool.org. We hope that your summer continues to be blessed!
