Fourth graders had a visit from Mindy Wilson, HR Director for SUNY Adirondack, and Paige Gazetos, Fort Ann Speech Therapist, during our second career day. Mrs. Wilson explained what Human Resources is and talked about resumes and business cards. The students even got some SUNY ADK swag! Mrs. Gazetos talked about what a speech therapist does and that helping students is the most rewarding part of her job. Thank you to Ms. LaVine for organizing this event! 🤩
Students have some choices to make when planning coursework for junior and senior year. Another option, in addition to participation in Career & Technical Education at BOCES or the Early College Career Academy at SUNY Adirondack, is the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Queensbury. This program is a two-year rigorous education program that gives students an edge when it comes to succeeding in college.

Important information to safeguard your information! Please see the email received by the district on behalf of NYSED's Chief Privacy and Chief Information Security Officers:
Dear Parent or Guardian: Please let this serve as a reminder that you should not share personal or financial information over the phone with unsolicited callers. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately. We are sending this reminder because parents and/or guardians of children who have recently taken an SAT or PSAT exam have been receiving scam calls requesting personal information, including a credit card number, to mail the test results. Additional tips about how to protect yourself from SAT test-related scams can be found on the Better Business Bureau website.
Always be wary of unsolicited callers: If you receive a random call from someone asking for payment, research their organization before sharing any personal information.
Double check with your child: If someone claims they're calling because of a service your child requested, hang up and check with your child first.
Understand the College Board's practices: The College Board will never ask you for your bank or credit card information over the phone or through email.
Don't give your financial information to strangers: Never agree to pay a stranger with any form of payment for a purchase you didn't initiate.
Thank you and please reach out with any questions.
