Weekly Bulletin Submissions

Dear All,

WEEKLY BULLETIN MATERIAL – ARTICLES and POSTERS

Important information for all new staff and reminder for others. The first edition will be this Friday 17th August.

All material for our Weekly Bulletin is submitted via the Daily Bulletin using the box in the very top right hand corner called “Weekly Bulletin”

The bulletin is published mid afternoon on Fridays on the website and via Veracross to all parents and staff. It is a public document and checked by Laurie each week.

The deadline for submission is 12 noon on Wednesdays. If you have a problem with this please let Sue know as soon as possible. Important information is translated into Korean and Chinese. If you are not sure if this applies to your article ask Sue or Kasson.

There are two options : Weekly Bulletin and Banner/Poster. Instructions on each are contained in the drop down box.
The poster part relates to the information that is loaded on the hi-tec screen in the Centre Foyer near the Reception Counter. All other items are displayed throughout the week on the screen next to the PTA Shop. There is a hard copy in the school foyer by the entrance to the Cafeteria.

In order for us to edit or update please submit your entries in Word.

We do not allow any family names of students. First names only. We also observe strict guidelines on use of student photos. If you need clarification see Ruth.

If you have any problems submitting files, address any technical issues to : help@nanjing-school.com

Thanks for your support

Students: Fitness Room Clarification

Hello Again Fitness Lovers.

Mr. Bratton sent a confusing message about the age of fitness room access yesterday.

Luckily, the sign on the door speaks for itself!

A picture is worth 1,000 (slightly contradictory) words.

Thanks for your help!

PS break times outside today

The weather has cooled down a little so we will go with a full outdoor lunch break today. Please remind your students:

  1. The Green Gym is open at 1:20 (NOT 1:10, therefore the students must go outside for 10 minutes before going to the gym).
  2. The library is closed to PS as we do not have duty cover in there yet.

If you are not on duty, please support the students by reminding them to stay outside during break times. Discuss possible break time activities in class with your students. Thanks!
