This year The Queens Courier celebrates its 21st year of serving you our readers.
From its humble beginnings being written, edited and produced in founder and publisher Victoria Schneps' living room to the multi-sectioned community-oriented publication The Queens Courier is today, our mission statement has been a simple one: “We're all about you!”
Over the years, we have added sister publications to The Queens Courier - El Correo de Queens, Healthwise Magazine, The North Shore Towers Courier, Northeast Queens Courier Extra, Queensborough Magazine (the official newspaper of the Queens Chamber of Commerce), The Key to Queens tourist magazine guide and our latest addition - The Courier Sun which serves southern Queens with our high level of community commitment.
We bring you, our readers and advertisers, special editions like the Winter Bridal, Valentine's Gift and Dining, Discover Queens, Mother's Day Gift and Dining, Summer Bridal, Belmont Stakes, U.S. Open Tennis Guide, Fall Bridal, Thanksgiving Dining and Holiday Gift and Dining special issues.
Each month we bring you special sections inside The Queens Courier like Seniors Today, Queens Business Today, and Queens Kidz. We have examined your neighborhoods in our exclusive Key To Issues which covered the communities of Bayside, Jamaica, Forest Hills, Flushing, Long Island City and Astoria in-depth.
We have expanded our automotive and classified sections to better serve you.
Our website was totally revamped and made user-friendly last January.
We will continue to add new features and columns for you to enjoy.
We remain true to our mission of bringing the best local coverage of your communities to you. “We're all about you!”
Opt-In For School Buses
Parents, read this ALERT!
Thousands of Queens public school students are facing the loss of their school bus ride if their parents fail to fill out and submit and opt-in form by October 6 for the yellow bus program.
There are only two ways to submit the form - return the form brought home by your child or go online at https://www.opt-osfns.org/opt/ and submit it electronically.
So if you have not seen a form by the time you have read this editorial, go directly online and fill out the form RIGHT AWAY. If a parent does not fill out the form, the student will receive a Metro Card, according the Department of Education, and parents will have to wait until next year to reapply for school bus service.
