Dear Parents,
At this time of year the weather doesn’t always cooperate in the mornings. Sometimes traffic is heavy and getting to school on time can become a challenge. However, please be certain that you or your drivers are not speeding through the school zone or the parking lot. We are trying to keep our students safe and do not want any accidents, with youngsters darting out into speeding traffic.
Our supervisors are reporting that if families arrived 10 minutes prior to the 8:40 a.m. bell, they would find that there are plenty of parking spaces. Additionally, there are no drop off zones at our school, so please find a parking spot. However, please avoid the reserved spots and staff lot (see attached).
Let’s keep our students safe.
On behalf of the QAS staff, I want to wish all families a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving! Enjoy your weekend.
J. Sandberg
Principal
Walkathon
A reminder that our walkathon is this Friday, October 7th. Students that qualified received their walkathon tee shirts today. They should wear their walkathon shirt or QAS PE shirt and shorts to school on Friday. A hoodie or jacket is also recommended. We will begin walking after Mass. Students will also have an opportunity to eat a snack prior to walking. After circling Como Lake a number of times, all will walk back to the school for a treat. Dismissal is at 12:00 noon.
Congratulations to our lucky Wednesday winners from today: Celena M, Roy M, Desi D, Morrie S, Tessa G, Sophie B, Preston W. and Clare P.
