Creative New Undertakings Prototype – Tuesday, August 23rd

On Tuesday, August 23rd, during Parent-Led Conferences, some grade 5 students, student advisors, and a few educators will work together to help "build a database of keen parents with a variety of expertise for students to connect with during Grade 5 exhibition, mini-PP, the Personal Project, Extended Essay, and for the [Creative New Undertakings] units going on across the school” (K. Bratton, personal communication, August 19, 2016).

In the Centre, students will "get the attention of parents walking by, and help them get their info to the database (Think the “step right up!” guy at a circus)…from 1:30-4:15pm” (Bratton, 2016). There will be stations of computers set up and ready for parent input that asks them for help or guidance with aspects of life in which they are passionate about.

If you have any questions about the strategic project, or wish to help, please contact: Mr. Paul Johnson, Mr. Tom Johnson, or Ms. Jo Andrew.

Good news

GOOD NEWS! Printing was down last year by 13% compared to the previous year. Well done! Let’s cut it again this year.

A reminder of the small actions we can take to reduce waste at NIS to contribute to a sustainable future:

  • Turn off lights when leaving all rooms
  • Turn off Smartboards when not in use
  • Unplug computers and phones once they are fully charged
  • Reduce output of A/C
  • Close doors when A/C is on
  • Avoid plastic cutlery, cups, straws, single use bottles etc in the Cafe and cafeteria
  • Reduce photocopying; photocopy onto used paper wherever possible
  • Avoid laminating as far as possible-plastic lasts too long
  • Control litter – ask others to pick up their rubbish

Model  this behaviour and encourage it in others. It’s your future.

After school Evacuation guidelines for primary students

Following yesterday’s unplanned evacuation after school, here are some guidelines to follow:

  1. If a student is in Grade PreK-G3, they should stay with their parent or guardian (they may want to line up at their class spot, if they wish but it is not necessary).
  2. If a student is in an ASA, they should line up with their ASA teacher.
  3. If a student is in G4-5 and does not have a parent here (because they are waiting for their 4:15 ASA) they should go to their class line up spot.

Remember, what is most important is that everyone is out of the building and on the running track awaiting instructions.
