Involving the Whole Family

As a Catholic learning community, Mary Our Queen strives to be welcoming and connected, supporting the engagement of parents as partners in their children’s learning and wellbeing.

We realize we all flourish when we’re connected to our school and parish.

Get Involved

When parents get involved, it enhances the student’s educational experience. When parents volunteer at the school, they get to know other students, parents, and staff.

Looking for a way to be involved with our school and parish? Become a volunteer and make a difference! MOQ School encourages families to volunteer 20 hours per school year towards MOQ School activities. Volunteer hours are tracked within FACTS. Please see the volunteer hours image to enter your information.

Safe Environment

All volunteers working when students are present need to complete Safe Environment training and have an active Safe Environment certification card from the Archdiocese of Omaha. Please contact Renee Spicka @ rspicka@moqchurch.org for Safe Environment Training and schedules.
