Block Survey Results
  Thank you to all of you who participated in the on-line block scheduling survey.  We had over 1,000 student, 200 parent, and 80 staff surveys submitted.  The Alternative Scheduling Committee will now be taking time to analyze and review your feedback.  Results from the survey will be shared with all high school stakeholders this spring.
  
Guidance News 
     Our high school guidance counselors will be having open forums for Juniors to learn about college planning, the application process and how college life will be different than high school.
    The forums will be held on April 22nd and 29th at 2:15 pm.  All juniors are encouraged to attend.
 
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
 Saga City, Japan Visit
   From 3/26 to 4/2, 20 students and 5 adults from Saga City, Japan visited the Queensbury School District.  This was a wonderful cultural learning opportunity for everyone involved.  Our students and staff represented QHS with great pride and we learned many exciting things about Japanese education and culture.  Thank you to the Sister Cities Committee for organizing this event and to the staff and families who hosted our guests.  Great Job!
