Money makes the world go around in these times of financial instability it is especially imperative that we teach our young adults the meaning of money and credit and to act financially responsible.  On Friday, March 26, 2010 Quincy Public Schools Career and Technical Education Department will present Quincy’s 2nd annual Credit for Life Fair to be held at the Boston Marriott Quincy from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  Approximately 225 students will be in attendance and will be provided a lifestyle scenario that describes their life at age 24, including job title, income, marital and health status, assets, debts, and credit profile.  They then circulate among various Credit Fair booths, representing major spending categories, to complete a one-month spending plan.

During a highly interactive three-hour event, students will visit (13) Credit Fair booths and make purchase decisions affecting their finances.  The Credit Fair Booths staffed by members of the Quincy School ~ Community Partnership include Housing, Clothing, Health, Nutrition, Furniture, Transportation, Education, Credit, Insurance, Savings and Retirement, Luxury, Career Counseling, Community Service, and Credit Counseling. 

The Credit for Life Fair, an award winning program developed by Consumer Credit Counseling Service and the Credit Executives Association of Southeastern New England.

Welcome to our updated web site. To help parents and our community stay updated, we have added a News section to our web site. This section will have the latest district news, announcements, and items of interest to our schools and our community. Our News section will make it easier for everyone to keep up with critical information.

A great example of how we are using this News section is information about the flu. Parents have many concerns, and Jane Kisielius RN, MS, has done a terrific job of giving the facts parents need to make good decisions and help keep their children healthy. Check out her Health link on the right in “Announcements” to get the latest updates.

All the information about how to register your child, transportation, street guides, and more is still right where you need it – check out the “School Links” section on the right. More timely announcements such as athletic schedules and health (including the flu info) are right there under the “Announcement” section. You can even view past announcements by clicking on the “Archives” section.

We hope that the News site will help you stay connected to our schools. As always, if you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher or principal. If you need additional help, click on the “Contact Us” link and you can find contact information for staff and administrators in our school system.

Thank you for your continued support. Together, we are working every day to make education a vital part of our community. Together, we are teaching success.
