On October 15th, our school participated in the Great California ShakeOut for earthquake preparedness. Everyone practiced how to drop, cover, and hold on. Our teachers discussed the importance of earthquake preparedness with our students. This was our chance to practice what to do during an earthquake to reduce injury. To date, more than 10.5 million people have participated in this annual opportunity to practice how to be safer during an earthquake.
Earthquake preparedness is a responsibility of all Californians and we encourage you to discuss earthquake readiness with your child and others at home to take steps to get prepared.
Many thanks to Coach Mercer for our Disaster Procedures and to all our teachers and staff for an exemplary earthquake drill. The staff team was pleased to work with members of our school safety committee who helped practice parent pick up in an emergency situation. Last, but never least, a big bravo to all of our students who were outstanding during the earthquake drill.

Heartfelt thanks to our students for bringing the Blessed Mother flowers on her birthday, September 8th! Thank you to Keri O’Melveny and Amy Ivey, our PSA Chairpersons of Catholic Programs for organizing this beautiful and meaningful way to honor Mary. Blessed Mother Mary is a source of strength and comfort for all of us and we celebrate her love for us.
Mother Mary has a special place in the lives of our students at OLQA School. We celebrate her birthday in September, pray the Rosary to her in October, retell the birth of Jesus in December, and celebrate Mary with our May Crowning in May. Our hope is our students have a close relationship with Mary. Mary is someone they can talk to about their hopes, dreams, worries, and wishes. She is always there for them.
A quick Hail Mary helps everyone for any occasion!

Welcome to the 2015 – 2016 School Year. Our school theme this year is “Boundless Mercy.” During the school year, our goal is to educate our students in the unconditional love of Jesus. The love of Jesus is filled with boundless mercy for us. Our students will feel this love of Jesus in their everyday school life. We will become mindful of the boundless mercy showered on all of us. As a school, we will thank God for all of His gifts to us. From our blessings, we will grow in our faith and share with each other kindness, service, and respect.Education of your children is a top priority with a commitment to excellence. Our teaching methods will stimulate the imagination with a curriculum that enlightens the mind. We are building a strong foundation that lasts a lifetime for each student. These are exciting goals of Our Lady Queen of Angels School. As parents, we ask you to join our community of faith, knowledge, and service. Together, hand in hand, we begin the new school year together.
