Last Weekly Bulletin of 2015
There will be no weekly bulletin next week – so this is your last chance in 2015 !
My hint of a new dedicated email for the bulletin submissions was a little premature – we will now be rolling that out in Week 19 from 11th Jan.
A sneak preview is that it may contain the words “weekly…. & …. bulletin” , but that will be confirmed in 2016 …..
Enough excitement …
Please send in your stuff as soon as possible .
Thanks
Sue

Yearbook-Submit NOW! Please.
afp://largestorage.nanjing-school.com/Teacher_1Yr_Temp_Large/Yearbook_submissions
You know the drill. Add your photos to the Yearbook Submissions folder on teacher large storage before you leave for winter break. Trip Week submissions were due on NOVEMBER 9 and only two grade levels have submitted anything. Deadlines for some sports and school activities have also passed. Remember, students are creating this book and if they can’t get photos from the staff members in a timely manner, it will put more pressure on the students. Not fair, is it? Thanks, and have a great holiday!Yearbook Submissions Information
