We still need acts, so contact paulmeyer@nanjing-school.com to get involved.

Everyone is currently having issues with logging into Overdrive/Sora for ebooks. We are looking into it and will let you know when it is resolved!

Open to all Gr9 – 12 students. Sign up on Veracross. Practices will be on Wednesdays and Fridays 4.20 – 6pm. Starts on Wed 16th January.

Come and improve your Volleyball and have some fun at the same time. This activity is open to all Grade 5 and 6 students. It will run on Mondays and Wednesdays 3.15 – 4.15pm after the Winter Break. Come and give it a try, even if you have never played before! Sign up on Veracross.

We will have a meeting tomorrow in the LGR (Friday December 7th 8.10 am) for all students attending the Mandarin Exchange with the next door school. This means all students in Phase 3 from Grades 6-9 during Extended Advisory.

Reminder of the trip:

On December 10^th and 11^th our Mandarin phase 3 students in Grades 6 – 9 will visit the Middle School  next door to NIS from 11am – 3pm. For the first hour they will accompany a Chinese student to class, then they will have lunch in the school cafeteria before going to class with their partner at 1.30pm. They will return to NIS at 3pm. On December 12^th and 13^th the Chinese students will visit NIS and follow the same routine.

Please be aware of the disruption to your classes…… first because some of your students may be absent and second because you may have additional, Chinese Students, in your class.

Dear MSUS Students,

During Exam Week, if you do not have an exam during Block 1, you MUST sign up for an Activity. There are a range to choose from in Veracross.

Sign up as soon as possible to get your first choice!

Dear MSUS Teachers,

In line with our regular practice please do not assign any home learning for Grade 7-11 students this weekend or next week that is not direct preparation for the exams.

There should be no deadlines next week for any projects or similar that are not connected to the assessments during the exam time.

Thanks for supporting our students!
