Dear QISS Families and Friends,
We are now through the 4th week of the 2016-2017 academic year. This week, both teachers and parents were busy with Open House Nights. Thank you to all the parents who attended. It was great to see the teachers and parents connecting, and the parents learning more about the academic programs on offer at QISS. Additionally, the Learning Resource Center (LRC) commenced this week. The LRC is a great resource for students whose native language is not English. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the LRC teachers provide study skills and other academic support. On Saturdays, the students learn academic English. If you are interesting in enrolling your child in LRC, please locate the application forms and more information at the QISS website.

September 6: Teacher In-Service / Student Half Day
