Dear QISS Families and Friends,
We are now through the 3rd week of the 2016-2017 academic year. This week we rolled out several academic programs and extra-curricular activities. The first session of the After-School Activity Program (ASAPs) started on Monday. On Friday, the Upper School staff, led by Athletic Director Mr. Krakowski, rolled out the updated school house program. All students were “drafted” into a school house. Throughout the school year, students will be eligible to win prizes and special activities by demonstrating the QISS ESLRs of Vitality, Intelligence, Sensitivity, Courage and Compassion.
