Thank you to everyone who booked a time through Optis for curb side pick up of student belongings taking place at MQP this Wednesday, May 20th and Thursday, May 21st. To allow this process to go smoothly we are asking for your total cooperation with the following steps: 1. Vehicles will be directed to  Enter  the parking lot of MQP via  Torbay Road  and  Exit  via  Tiffany Lane. 2. Please ensure that you  arrive at your scheduled time  as early and late arrivals will impact the entire system. 3. Please be respectful towards staff members who will be on site to direct traffic and to place bags in your vehicles. Please see the image below outlining the layout of the parking for pick up.

If you were not able to book a time to pick up student belongings and still want to do so on Wednesday or Thursday please contact Mr. Walter directly. He will assign you a time. If you are NOT able to collect items on Wednesday or Thursday but still want them, please contact Ms. Leonard.

Dear Families, We are delighted to finally be in a position to provide you with an opportunity to retrieve student belongings. In keeping with Covid-19 measures currently in place in our Province, and the guidelines set out by NLESD, we will be having  curbside/drive through pick up on Wednesday, May 20th and Thursday, May 21st on the lower parking lot (Student Drop Off Lane) of MQP.  As per District direction,  we are only permitted 7 vehicles per 10 minute time slot.  To organize pickup we will be using the  OPTIS System.  This is the same system we use for the scheduling of parent/teacher interviews and it is very user friendly. We are asking our families to book  ONE appointment slot per family  for pick up using our Optis System. In cases where you have multiple children, staff will reconcile the list so that siblings belongings are included during the time slot you select.  Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate families picking up for other families at this time.
