Dear teachers and students,
The Grade 12 Environmental Systems and Societies students are conducting a 10-minute face-to-face survey with selected students and teachers. We thank you in advance for taking the time to be interviewed. The interviewers will make sure data collected remains anonymous. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Mr Mello (luizmello@nanjing-school.com).
Thank you!

Last week, you might recall, we sent cards of support to the cleaners at JIS who are in prison convicted of a crime which did not happen. Since then, teachers Neil Bantleman and Ferdi Tjeong, who were acquitted of the same crime some months ago, had their acquittal overruled. Neil and Ferdi are now back in prison. CANADIANS, if you would like to take action, attached is a link to a letter which Neil’s brother Guy suggests that you might use (whole or in part or as basis for your own letter) to your Member of Parliament. Please ask me for any other details… Thanks! Lindy Buckley
Our PreK enrolment is increasing! In order to support the needs in the classroom we have hired Winnie Cheng as a new TA in PreK. Winnie comes to us from Teletubbies Early Education Centre in Nanjing. Please welcome Winnie on her first day Wednesday, March 2.
Don’t forget that there is a NEAMC team meeting in room D246 at the start of lunchtime today.
Please note – the audition dates have changed for the up-coming ‘Black Comedy’ auditions.
Auditions will now be held Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th March. Lunch, Black Box.
It is not too late to sign up. Gr8 – 9 SCISAC basketball starts today for the girls and tomorrow for the boys. Gr7 – 12 ACAMIS Track & Field starts today and Gr5 – 8 CISSA Track & Field on Wednesday. Sign up on veracross and meet in the gym or the track.
Please don’t forget to work through as many of the Individual Round questions as you can before next week. We’ll meet again on Monday to discuss our solutions and to practise some more Team Round questions. Finally, please remember to bring your passport to Monday’s meeting.
Dear All,
School Parking Area will be closed on Saturday and Sunday (February 27th & 28th) as NIS is hosting Model United Nations and ISTA events.

CISSA & ACAMIS Track & Field and SCISAC Basketball Sign ups on Veracross this week. Practices start next week. If you would like to sign up but have clashes, please speak to Mr Clarke to see if we can work out a schedule for you. Grade 7 & 8 have the option of doing CISSA or ACAMIS Track & Field (coaches may allocate you later based on your level). ACAMIS Track & Field and SCISAC Basketball events have a direct clash so you cannot do both.
Hello MYP/DP Students,
Remember to report to the PAC by 8am Friday morning for another action-packed assembly!
Will there be a lovely video going while you walk in? Yes. Will there be epic, but extremely brief awards speeches? Yes. Will there be a few classic pictures of your teachers as teenagers? Yes. Will Dr. Saavedra accost Mr. Fishel again? Maybe?!
See you there by 8:00am tomorrow!
