Week Without Walls

All agreements/permission forms for Week Without Walls as well as payment should be in.

I will be sending out a survey to all students/families who did not sign up for a traveling trip. The survey will be asking if students plan to attend local trips. 

Here are the links to each survey:

Middle School Local Trips - Week Without Walls Survey

Secondary Local Trips - Week Without Walls Survey

Please let me know if you have any questions at any time. Thanks! 

Arrival/Dismissal:

We are still seeing many students arriving after 8:00am in the morning. I have been running "Tardy Sweeps" at 8:00am for any students arriving to school after 8:00am. This means that I meet directly with the students and discuss reasons why they are late. We are asking for your help to get all students to school on time!

Please work with us to get your students to school by 7:50 so they have time to arrive to class prior to 8:00am. Thank you! 

Dismissal is at 3:20pm daily (unless you are informed otherwise). 

If your student rides the bus and the bus arrives late, your student will not be counted tardy.

ASAs:

Session 3 Began on 1 April: 

If you student rides the bus, they will be put on a late bus for ASAs. If you student is not a bus rider, but needs a late bus home from ASAs, please contact Blerta Sadiku at blerta-sadiku@tirana.qsi.org.

There is much more to follow, but that's all for now.

There is only a little more that 2 months remaining of school! Keep up the good work until the end! Thank you so much for your support for our TIS community and your students!
