MS/US Student Council Elections Now!

Hello Students in Grades 6-11,

You will receive an email this morning connected to a survey that will enable you to vote for leadership of your Student Council. On the ballot, you will see four Candidates and choose two. You will only be allowed to submit your votes once per NIS student email address. Teachers are not eligible to vote (sorry!). The candidates with the top two vote totals will become your Student Council President and Vice-President. Simple.. and important as that!

Results will be announced as soon as they are tabulated.

You can find the former “Crossfit” (by Mister T.) now under a new name: HIIT=High Intensity Interval Training.
The swim sessions you can find under “Stroke development” and “Triathlon/Fitness”. “Stroke development” is for beginners to improve every swim style not to learn how to swim. “Triathlon/Fitness” is more advanced and focused on freestyle.

Registration will open on Friday August the 24th.

So … what time does school really start?

Fun fact of the day:

School begins with Advisory at 8:00am.

But, what does this mean for me?

You need to be in Advisory by 8:00am.

What happens if I am late?

Between 8:01am – 8:10am: You will be marked as tardy by your Advisor.

After 8:10am: Go to the nurse BEFORE going to first block.

What happens if I am sick or absent for a whole day or longer?

Your parent needs to write an email to your Advisor and the nurse explaining your absence.

 

 

Day 7 PS Announcements

Thank you for your diligence to complete and send on the PLC Schedules by 4:30pm today.

Integrator Specialists and Mandarin Teachers:

Please use the Live link to the Excel Sheet, for the PLC sign-ups to indicate which students’ conferences you plan to attend. You may do this by simply adding your name in brackets within the students slotted time. This will allow other specialists to see how many teachers may be in attendance.

12:55pm Most of our new hires will be off to the PSB for the rest of the afternoon. Thank you for helping support coverage and those covering your grade level colleagues during their absence.
