This page hosts all orientation materials for new students. All forms are expected to be filled out and returned to the Main Office, with the exception of the opt-0ut forms. Opt out forms do not need to be filled out, unless you would not like to receive those services.
Due to the numerous financial backers, we are respectfully requesting media release forms be signed. We frequently have media requests, and this will help us to effectively bring grants and programs into the school. It is in our best interest to show off the good works that occur in our school.
Neighborhood Trip Permission Slip is included in the new student packet. Our teachers would like to take the children outside to learn the content at applicable points. This allows us to take a walking tour of the neighborhood for educational purposes within 6 blocks of Jamaica, with a teacher’s supervision, at any time during the school day.
For ALL families (grade 6 & 9) to fill out and return to QC
For HS families regarding s3xual health information and services
For families who want to buy uniforms from our supplier He makes great quality shirts! Please send this file directly to him, via the information on the file.

Have a great summer!
hey. i am a soon too be 9th grader at QC and im confused about the dress code and at the first day of school do you have to have the school logo sign printed on the shirt ?????
Hi Safka,
Sorry to confuse you. You do not need to have it printed on the shirt. At orientation, we will give you two patches for free. You can buy additional patches for $5 each. Patches are generally sewn or ironed on to the shirt. This allows you to buy dress code colored clothing from any store of your choice.
If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. We are more than willing to help.
so does this mean that we can wear any white or navy shirt to school and it doesnt have to be a polo or button down?
Hi Adanna,
Good question. It absolutely has to have a collar and be professional. Girls have worn women’s dress shirts or other appropriate shirts that are white, royal or navy. I’ll create a post in the next day or two with samples of other appropriate options for girls that are not polo or button down. Please know that we try to give you some freedom and latitude, but there will not be many other options for a variety of reasons (I’ll show that in the blog post also).
Best,
Mrs. Dubei
Umm….i’m going to be new to the school and I was wondering if we get to wear anything to school or we have to uniform of any col0r with a collar and things like that???
Hi Christal!
You need to wear dress code appropriate clothing. That means it needs to have a collar (like a polo or a button down shirt) with khaki or navy pants everyday. You can select from a navy, white or royal blue shirt. Jeans are only allowed on Friday.
hi, could someone please post a list of what needs to be bought for the new school term for 9th graders. e.g. stationary, books, etc…..
Ms. Latmore,
Supplies lists will be available here by Aug 1. Thank you for being proactive and involved in your child’s education.
Hi,i am a soon too be 9th grader at QC and i would like to know if the students get there own lockers and if so do the school allow them to decorate the inside?????
Hi Khadija– You will get a locker, but it will be shared with 2-3 others in your advisory. You can decorate it as you wish

Hi Christal!

What is the venue for the Living Enviornment Regents in August?
Hello– all students are taking their Regents at Thomas Edison HS. Please email me with your child’s name, OSIS number and regents they need, so I can get them registered.
when exactly is orientation for the 9th graders so that I would have time to ask for that day off.also how would I find out which class he goes to and if in fact you accepted him. we did receive a letter from the school but this is all new to me.
Dear Ms. Millian,
9th grade orientation is Thursday, 9/2 from 10-12noon. Only your child needs to attend the student orientation though, as we use that time to meet with their advisory and get acclimated to the school prior to the first day. Parent orientation is Tuesday, 9/14 in the evening.
If you received a letter from the school, then your child is accepted. He will take the next logical course based upon his academic record. Most freshmen take HS English, Global History 1, Living Environment, Integrated Algebra, French or Spanish I, and gym or swim. If he has taken the Regents exam in one or more of these classes, then he is eligible for the next class (i.e. geometry if he passed algebra already). If you have further questions, please feel free to call 718-658-4016 during working hours and one of us can discuss this with you in more depth.
My daughter lost her ID card recently as she was a student in 9th grade now in 10th. When can she re-take her photo or get a new card?
Hi! She can get one in the beginning of September.
Hello. I can’t understand the supply list for the 9th grade. Its very confusing. Can you please order, like how much notebooks or soo we need for the overall classes. Instead of posting what we need for separably
Hi Kevin,
Sorry about the confusion. Most freshmen will be taking advisory, gym, HS algebra, Living Environment, Global History with Mr. Chickerie, HS English, and either Spanish or French.
Please provide the ARIS website information. Thanks you.
Dear Ms. Hamilton,
The ARIS website for parents is here: https://arisparentlink.org/parentlink
The NYCDOE office at 94-23 Sutphin Boulevard is assisting parents with ARIS, if you have any questions. Mr. Erskine, our parent coordinator, is also in during working hours in the summer and he can assist. He does not however have passwords to get into ARIS.
do students have to use the uniform the first day of school or are they allowed to use normal clothing?
Hi Mary! Everyone should be in uniform every day in school. There are some days that you may be able to earn dress down days, but generally, every day you should be in uniform.
When is 6th grade orientation, please provide feedback, and for the soccer when you say ‘All freshmen are eligible’ does this include 6th graders?
Dear Bibi,
6th grade orientation for students is September 2, from 10-12noon. Parent orientation is September 14 in the evening.
Currently the sports that are beginning are for HS students. We will begin middle school sports during the school year.
Do the students have to be in uniform on the day of their orientation?
No they do not. They may wear appropriate clothing of their choosing.
For new students and their parents, how do we obtain a student ID # and login information and password for ARIS?
The DOE office at 94-23 Sutphin Blvd (just north of Jamaica Ave) is providing that information during the summer months. Once school begins, we will have your access information. Unfortunately, we don’t have it yet.
hi ! I would like to go Queens Colleigate , so if go to orientation I might be able join. I really want to this school . I heard its a nice school
Great, Tionne! Looking forward to seeing you there.
hi! Would the 6th graders be able to be in any sports .
We will be starting middle school Champs sports programs throughout the school year.
I am supposed to go to Queens Collegiate for the 6th grade. I got the letter with the school clothing and my schedule. There was a survey about “What is your favorite subject and why?” I was supposed to send it to the school by June 25th or something near that date, but I never sent it in. My guidance counselor I didn’t need to bring it in and I am still going to that school. I just want to know is it actually true and did I have to bring that slip in .
Hi. That slip gives us some information about you and helps with class and advisory assignments. You can always bring it in the first day.
hi my name is akram i orderd my son uniform 2 weeks ago and i still didnt recive any letter from the mail so then what do i do about this.
Hi Akram,
I recommend that you contact Skip, the uniform seller to confirm that he received the order and to find out about shipping. If your son does not have his uniforms for the first day of school, do your best to put him in something that is blue and white. I would anticipate that if Skip has received the order, you will have them for certain by Monday, 9/13.
What are the rules about students having cell phones?? My child was told at orientation that cell phones were not allowed in the building, Although I agree cell phones should not be used during school hours, but when my child is released from school I need to be able to reach her and vice versa to assure her safety and in the case of any emergency. So as a parent concerned about her child and being able to reach her or her me after she’s left school and is traveling, what do we do???

As a parent myself, I completely understand where you are coming from. Unfortunately, cell phones are not allowed in the building at all, according to the Chancellor’s regulations. Our office phones are open for student use at any time after school hours to call parents. Many of our students work with each other to leave their phones at friend’s homes nearby the school, or at some of the local establishments that hold cell phones during school hours.
hi i finished 10 grade from other country, now i am thinking to join QC for 11 grade so what i have to do admission.
Hi Ray,
Thank you for considering QC. To register in that instance, you would need to go to 90-27 Sutphin Blvd, near Jamaica Ave, to OSEPO (Office of Student Enrollment and Placement) to register for high school. If there is a seat available here, then they will refer you to us. You will need to bring the documents found on this site, to register at Sutphin Blvd.
hi i got phone call from someone i think it child serive called me about attendance and they was saying something but i didnt understand what was they saying
It was probably the district attendance teacher. They were probably saying that you have missed too many days of school. See me or Mrs. Downes tomorrow and we can clarify.
hi, i am going ot join the school for 9tyh grade. i am sort of confused. In my current school, i have to take the living Env. regents and the algebra regents. What exactly will happen to my schedule. I also would like to go for the track team. On the paper that was sent, it says the permission slip for it is on the blog but i cant find it any where.
Hi Raima,
Congratulations and welcome! If you take and pass the Living Environment and Algebra regents in the 8th grade, then you will move on to either Earth Science or Chemistry with geometry in the 9th grade.
The PSAL permission slip is found here, and the PSAL medical form is found here.
Hello, I’m going to the school next year and I would like to know if we are going to get student ID cards and if we do when will we get them ?
Hello Marilin,
You will get student ID cards within the first week of school. It’s important to carry it with you at all times, especially to get into the building in the morning, into the lunchroom and into the locker rooms.
Hi, I’m a mother of student who got accepted to your school & I was just wondering how many students are there in 9th grade, and how many students are there in your class. thank you for your time .
Hello,
Our 9th grade class is comprised of 81 students, on average. We strive for class size of 27 students, although some classes tend to be much smaller and a few are larger. Our smallest classes this year were 10-15, where we had at least 4 classes this size.
hi
‘
we want miss vailabla for next year the one who is student teacher
thank you
Thanks for your feedback. We’ll see what we can do.
Does each grade have to wear a specific color out of the white, navy and royal blue or we could wear any color from the white, navy and royal blue?
Hi Melly,
You can choose. While we think a uniform is important because it sets the tone, we also want you to be your own individual and express yourself through appropriate clothing.
What if the form Queens collegiate sent us was Misplaced qnd Youy doint bring it at orientation, what do The students do.?
Hi! Please send an email to nfeldman@schools.nyc.gov and ask her to send you a replacement packet. She’ll need your name, address and grade level.

Yes there is a Global Regents in August. It will be given August 17 at 12:30PM.

Hi Kimberly,
You can choose between navy or khaki tan. On Fridays, you can wear dark jeans.
Hi I’m Wenwu and I made a 63 on my algebra regents the results haven’t been giving back to us but it was on snap grades can you tell me if they will curve it up to a 65 so I can pass or not?
Hi,
We can’t curve a Regents. If it’s a 63, then it’s a 63. You should plan to attend summer school if you failed Algebra this year, or just come after August 1 for Regents Review. The Regents will be given on August 17 at 8:30AM.
–Mrs. Dubei
PS– I know all QC students. Who is Wenwu?
Hi! I know it’s a bit too early but i’m going to be in eighth grade in my current school and I am hoping to apply to Queens Collegiate in the beginning of this year so that i might have a chance of attending the ninth grade there. May you be able to tell me the open house/information session dates? If not it’s all right I was just hoping to get a head start on the information.
Thank You for your time! (:
Hi Anna,
Thanks for thinking of QC!! I don’t think we’ve set the dates yet. Does the HS book have the HS Fair dates in it? Last I checked, we didn’t have dates for the HS fairs, and we set our open houses around those dates.
Hope you’re enjoying your summer!
Mrs. Dubei
i filled out and sent the packet for incoming 9th graders. If it came back due to lack of stamps (It is June 30th right now) is it too late to still send it in?
No problem. I understand. Please send it in at your earliest convenience.

Hi,
It is from 10AM-12Noon. 6th grade Parent Orientation is on 9/13 beginning at 6PM.
can you list some local establishments that hold you cell phone while we are in school
Hi Ms. Jackson,
There are a few corner stores in the neighborhood that hold cell phones for students. I am not familiar enough with them to list their names or addresses, but I know they are within a block or two of the school.
Hi, when do the classes begin?
Hi Nujhat,
Classes begin September 8 at 8:00AM.
Hi I’m going to be a new student her at QC. Is there anything special that other schools don’t have.
Do we also have to wear dark jeans on Fridays.
Thanks.
Hi Afsana,
Welcome to QC. We have a rich academic and social program at QC, which includes world languages, the arts and technology. I’ll let our students tell you what they think is so special about QC.
You may wear any color jeans on Friday, as long as they are not red, neon green, yellow, fuchsia, etc. They must be a blue or other color that is conducive to the uniform.

Hi Nujhat,
You need to buy a QC Tshirt either from Skip at Fine Products or from the school. It will be $10.
Do we have online report cards if we do where do we find our online report card?
Thanks for your help!
Hi Afsana,
Yes, you will have online report cards on jupitergrades.com.
My son Christopher Swint was selected as an incoming 9th grader. His former school submitted the acceptance for us, however we have not heard anything from your school as far as orientation, dates to remember, and/or anything official. Can someone please verify for me that he is on your new student roster for September 2011/12 school year?
Dear Ms. Lewis,
I will have someone check and get back to you this week. I apologize, as we have been working out of another DOE school as ours is under construction. We do not have the easy access to systems as we would have in our own offices.
Hi Do The Kids The Students Have To Have Id Cards. And If So What Day Do They Get Them. Also what time does 9th graders have to go in on the first day of school. and do the students get metro cards. thanks hope u can get back to me.
Hi Jada,
The students do receive ID cards within the first week or so.
The 9th graders should report at 8:00AM and they will get a schedule.
Students receive metrocards if they live more than a mile from the school, according to the DOE transportation system. We hand them out day 1, unless the shipment has not been received in time.
Hello! Sorry for disturbing you, but i want to know if students that are going to 7th grade are going to get ID cards. Also, does the students (of 7th grade) have summer homework packets?And, how does orientation work??? *Thank you for your time!
*
They said “the students do recieve ID cards within the first week or so.” I think that every student will get ID cards. But i would think you would want to hear from the school about this question.
You’re right, Afsana. Every student will get an ID. It may take a week or so to take photos and print them but we will do it as quickly as possible.
Hello, I have a daughter that was accepted to QC for the 6th grade this year and a daughter who wasn’t. Is there any way that I can register my other daughter in your school? If so, when can I register her? I really would like for them to attend the same school. Thank You
Hi,
Please speak to Mr. McMahon, our assistant principal. You can reach him at school at 718-658-4016 or to rmcmaho2@schools.nyc.gov
thanks anyways
I have a question is there still going to be orientation on sept1 and is it just for children or does parents come too? thanks for your time
Hi,
Yes there is orientation tomorrow. Parents may come, but it is not required. Parents who do attend will be filling out paperwork and learning about the school in a separate parent mini-orientation. The official parent orientation is Tues, Sept 13 at 6:00PM.
Is there still orientation tomrrow and if parents are allowed
Hey. I’m a new student at Queens Collegiate and I want to know how the gym lockers work. Do I rent the actual gym lockers for 10$ a year or do we rent a lock for 10$ a year and the lockers are free? I don’t understand. Also, my brother which will also be in the same Boarding school as me has an orientation today. Is this the only chance he gets to get his schedule or will schedules be handed out a different time? Sorry for all the questions but we really need to know these things because school starts in a few days. By the way… why does school start before other schools? My sisters schools start a Septemember 8th. This school starts at Septemember 7th right? Please answer back quickly.
Hi Kc,
Welcome. I’ll try to answer your questions:
1. You rent the lock– the lockers are free.
2. Schedules are delayed due to computer issues. We will have them completed by September 8, the first day of school.
3. Originally Sept 7 was the first day, but the Mayor and Chancellor decided to postpone it to September 8. We will start September 8 also.
The answer to your question about the Gym Locker locks, you need to purchase/rent one and make sure you remember the combinations, because my son purchase/rent two locks lost them and second to last day before the summer vacation my son lost his $185.00 Swiss Army Back Pack with all its contents, no investigation was done by the security, the school’s Administrators or anyone else for that matter. Do you know who was blamed for this? My son who lost his locks for his locker, so as a new student I am advising you to be absolutely careful, because though you may be a child you must fend for yourself in this school, no one will be there for you or your losses. The toll will tell on your parents and you. I would like to say more, but there is no freedom of speech existing in this country only the pretence of it.
A parent.
Hi I know i already email this to you but you dont need to answer my email. Could u just answer me back the post thats all. i was at the orientation. i read one of the post that we will get 2 patches (logo’s) for our uniform at the orientation. Were we suppose to get the patches at the orientation?
Sorry to bother u but i need this answer because i wont be able to wear the uniform without the patch. Thanks for your help!
Thank you for answering.
