Hello Grade 3 & 4 Crews,
You are on for MAP testing today:
Grade 4: 8:10am-9:35am in your Homerooms for Maths
Grade 3: From 10:40am-12:05pm in your Homerooms for Reading
Give it your best effort!
Ps. Thursday is our most epic day of MAP testing with Grades 4 and 5A/5B in the first morning slot and 5c, Grade Grade 10 coming up after. It’s going to be a BIG day of measuring academic progress, so get a good night’s rest tonight! The full MAP schedule is here for details.
All Grade 11s should head down to the MSUS LGR directly after Advisory, this morning.
Please bring your laptops and all academic accoutrements you may require for the day.
See you there!
Are you currently in Grade 8 or above?
Then you are eligible to be the new NIS MS/US Student Council President for next school year.
You need to find a running mate and then contact either Paul Meyer or Mr Hornell by Monday May 6th at 3pm.
Monday at 3:15, April 29th, in room D240, I will host a tech drop in. This is a time to come by and have all your questions about tech systems at NIS answered. It is also a chance to learn some tips and tricks for Veracross, ManageBac, Turn-It-In, Microsoft 360, and more. So come by room D240 on Monday to learn a little about tech.
As it is Athletics Day tomorrow, MSUS students will go to Lunch in the Cafeteria in Lunch 1 (12.50). The Primary School will have Lunch 2 (1.20pm).
Also the Gaming Room and the Music Room will be closed tomorrow at lunchtime due to the Athletics Day.
Thanks for making this work,
Mrs Clarke
