The back-to-school season is officially underway at QCSD!

Today, we welcomed our newest teachers to New Teacher Academy, along with our administrators, for a special breakfast and opportunity to connect as we kick off the new school year.

We also want to thank our incredible community partners for their generous donations of school supplies to support students across QCSD. Your generosity and commitment to our students truly make a difference, and we are so grateful for your support!

Let's make the 2026-2027 school year the best one yet!
