PTA Autumn Festival

Autumn Festival Update

– The PTA is now able to welcome enrolled students AND their siblings (who may be enrolled at other schools) to the Autumn Festival. Also, all children of teachers are now able to attend 🥳🥳🥳!
– It is a strong preference that all adults wear their NIS ID tag at Autumn Festival – if you have an NIS ID tag, please wear it. See information below if you require a NIS ID.
– We must meet additional requirements, including collecting a complete list of attendees. You can help us by collecting tickets prior to the event. Parents will be allowed on campus to get tickets in the next 2 weeks at the following times: 10:00am – 12:00pm Monday-Friday. On Wednesday October 21st, tickets will be available for most of the day during 3-Way Conferences. On Wednesday October 28th, tickets will be available at the PTA Coffee Morning. Unfortunately it is not possible to sell tickets during DropOff and PickUp. Every attendee must have a ticket – Adults & Children less than 3 years old are free, children are 50¥.
– Pumpkins for the Pumpkin Carving Contest will be available from Monday 26th – Thursday 29th 10:00 – 12:00. Please get in quickly to secure your pumpkin!
– This is a cash-only event.
– This community event is only possible with the help from our community! It is the expectation that each family will have one adult volunteer for approximately one hour. Please join the volunteer group below. You can access SignUp Genius to help at the event!

How to get an NIS ID:
Go to Reception between 10:00 am – 12:00 pm over the next 2 weeks. If this is not possible, you can email a passport-style photo to Annie at anniewang@nanjing-school.com, including your child’s name and Grade. The badges may take a few days to print – please take this into account!

Gender Equality Survey

Hi Everyone,

My name is Lucy Stevens from Grade 7.
I am in the Reduced Inequality service group, but I am especially working on gender stereotypes and how they can affect others.
Please take a short amount of time to complete these short surveys.
I have created 2 surveys:
One for grades 3-5: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/93BZFVR
One for grades 6-10: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/93MP3WM
In these surveys I have asked, about what people think about gender stereotypes and their experiences with it.

Advisors, could you please encourage your students to take this survey. Thanks a lot for your time.

Regards,

Lucy
