End of Year Technology Notice – Departing Students and Staff

End-of-Year Technology Notice

As is always the case, many of our families head off to their new homes as we approach the end of the school year. Your NIS IT Department wants to make this segue as care-free as possible. To this end, please note the following important dates for access to various services online. We are also happy to facilitate your transfer of files provided you give us some lead time and book with us in advance. We will also have normal working hours the week after school is out, so we can also plan to assist you then, as well. This is not goodbye, only farewell until we meet again!

This weekend the walls will come down! Starting Monday, the corridor reconnecting the Library Foyer to the rest of our hallways will be open for use. PS teachers please take time during the extended homeroom time to discuss ways we will:

Be kind; Be safe; and Be ready to help within the new space. It might be a good idea to take a tour together.

There will not be access to the Early Years Center, nor the adjoining facilities. We do hope everyone though will get a chance to enjoy the new corridor, reconnect, and get a glimpse of the fabulous new space.
