Letter From our Principal

Seasonal Notes from the Principal     

From Debilyn Janota, Principal

The Queen of Peace School environment reveals a great deal about our commitment to provide an atmosphere conducive to learning.  It is also evident that our Catholic values and virtues are practiced and a priority.  When anyone enters through our red doors, they should feel, see, and experience “What Makes Queen of Peace School Catholic!”  Courtesy, respect, safety, caring and welcoming are just a few areas that are evident and expected by all those present in our school.  Seeing visible signs of our faith such as a crucifix in every room gives witness to our faith in Jesus whose sacrifice is the core of our faith.  Bulletin boards and classroom displays reflect and share our faith with each other.   

Our school philosophy and mission statements identify our purpose in serving the Church.  It is our charisma that identifies who we are to school visitors and the local community and is drawn from our staff, our students and their families, and our parish. Our School-wide Learning Expectations identify the vision we have for each Queen of Peace student as they reach the sixth grade. As a ministry of Queen of Peace Parish and under our pastor, Father Tim Mockaitis’ guiding direction and pastoral leadership, we embrace service, learning, and a faith-filled stewardship that provides a life-long learning experience for all those at Queen of Peace School.   

Our written curriculum is witnessed and experienced on our faith.  The core subjects are intertwined with our faith, our religion and our Catholicity.  We provide many basic learning materials and incorporate our faith values simultaneously.  Queen of Peace School continues to stress high academic standards yet; we will meet the developmental learning of each student wherever they are on the learning spectrum. 

Above all, we are a Catholic parish school where we work very hard as stakeholders to ‘walk and talk’ the example our Lord, Jesus gave us.  As our mission statement says:

“Queen of Peace is a Catholic parish school centered in Gospel values and dedicated to the spiritual and educational development of the whole child.”

We invite you to stop and come through our red doors and witness what we do and live by here at Queen of Peace School.  I would love to visit with you and share why I continue to say ‘yes’ as the principal. 

Yours in Christ,
Debilyn Janota
