At this age level, there are two different programs offered depending on where your child goes to school.   Release Time is offered for students attending Cloquet Middle School.  With written parental permission students are allowed to come to Queen of Peace for religious education.  These classes are offered first hour of the day, on the last day of the school week from October through April. Classes meet in the basement level of the parish. Release Time students need to complete the Queen of Peace registration for classes AND the permission form and return them to Irene McKay.
