Athletics Program Feedback

We would like to know what you think about the Athletics Program. If you took part in a sport this year, please take this short survey.

MYP students…What is a grade anyway?

Grades…Ever wonder what that number really means? Did you know that your “grade” is not a grade at all?! That little digit represents a description of where you are now in a specific subject area (we just can’t fit the entire description on our report cards!). Have a look below or click this link for details! Grade Descriptors

Hi MYP/DP Students! Hungry?

Hello MYP/DP Students,

Have you just gone through the entire school year salivating, while gazing at the clock, waiting for 1:20 so you could finally eat lunch? Have you stared through the glass, watching your PYP siblings mock you as they feast on cheesy pretzels and chicken tortillas?

Now it’s your turn… On Wednesday this week YOU EAT FIRST! That’s right.

Here’s the plan:

Wednesday from 12:50-1:20pm MYP/DP Lunch

Wednesday from 1:20 MYP/DP head towards the PAC

Wednesday from 1:30 MYP/DP Students seated in the PAC

Wednesday from 1:40 Awards Assembly begins

Just remember not to gloat too much. On Thursday, it’s back to business as usual!

MYP/DP Awards Lists Posted Today

The lists of students receiving Semester Two Awards will be posted outside the MYP LGR today. If you think that you have met award criteria and are not on the list, please let Dr. Saavedra or I know ASAP! Thanks!

Eco Rep meeting

There will be a final meeting for ALL Eco Reps, and teachers who have been involved in the Eco Team, in C122 at 12.35 on Tuesday 16th. We will review the work of the team and make plans for the future. PYP students can bring their home lunch or eat with MYP afterwards.

WARNING: Most photos were shot at high resolution so they will take a while to download.

Last week for MacBook Loaners

With the end of the school year approaching the MacBook loaning program has come to it’s end. All students and teachers who have a loaner checked out in their name will receive an email asking them to return the loaner to Ms. Cassie at the Apple store. The Apple repair shop will still perform repairs but the option of checking out a loaner will not be an option.

If there are questions about this please email help@nanjing-school.com

Thanks,

Brian Lockwood
