Kindness – During this first quarter of school  we are focusing on kindness and respect. As we work on building the social skills of respect for all those we encounter you can help at home. Teaching children time-honored traditions of holding doors for others, stopping to help someone who has dropped something and remembering to say please and thank you are all skills we will work on at school.
Facebook- Remember to keep up with Queen of Peace Catholic School activities on our Facebook page. We need signed media releases to post your child’s picture on Facebook. You can find the media release at the back of your handbook. You can access the page at: www.facebook.com/queenofpeacecatholicschool/

Alpha- Fr. Michael and Mrs. Krametbauer are excited to extend a personal invitation to all Queen of Peace Catholic School parents and guardians to attend a new faith formation program designed just for you! The Alpha program for adult faith formation will begin on Friday, September 23rd at 6:30 p.m. in the gym. Dinner will be served first with a time for fellowship prior to the start of the program. Fr. Michael will lead the Alpha program and the faculty will be present for Alpha sessions. The program will end between 8:00 and 8:30. The Alpha program is designed to offer adults the opportunity to enrich their faith life as they grow closer to Jesus. Please consider joining us for this event each Friday through November. (Children who attend with their parents will have a separate activity.)
Spirit Shirts/Jeans –Students can wear spirit shirts and jeans each Thursday. Remember, jeans must be free from holes, fraying, colors, etc. All uniform standards for shoes, outer wear and accessories still apply. 
Visitors and Volunteers – As a reminder, all visitors must sign in at the school office. If you plan to volunteer with our students, you must be Virtus trained and have a cleared background check with the Archdiocese.
Volunteer Hours- All Queen of Peace parents and guardians are required to volunteer 10 hours per school year. These hours will be tracked in the school office.
Mrs. Krametbauer – It was good to see so many of you at conferences. I hope to see all of you when the fall festival is held in October. Watch for announcements and information on the festival over the next few weeks and remember raffle tickets will be sent home today. If you have any questions, concerns, or need to discuss something regarding your child, do not hesitate to contact me by phone at 713-921-1558 or by e-mail at principal@qophouston.com.
Have a blessed and safe weekend!
