Dear NIS Staff,
We are enthusiastic to offer you high quality coffee at an affordable price in the staff canteen area. Unfortunately we have noticed users bringing capsules from other resources than the dispensing machine. Please note that it is not allowed to use any other capsules for the coffee machine besides the ones coming from the dispensing machine. The machines are highly sensitive and we cannot apply for product guarantee under these circumstances. On the other hand, we do encourage you to bring your used capsules to us for the Nespresso capsule recycling program!
Kind Regards,
Chartwells Team

Hello, Grade 6 to 9 Students!
This week in Advisory, you will be voting for your grade’s Student Council representative!
Your advisor will provide you with a ballot to vote and your advisory liaison will then email results to sarahnappi@nanjing-school.com.
Select one student from your own grade you feel would best advocate for what other students need. These students should be hard-working and excited to be involved in the community.
Please write down the student’s name and grade on the piece of paper provided to you.
We had a couple volunteers so if you would like to vote for one of them, they are listed below.
Grade 6 : Victoria Warm
Grade 9 : Yoonji Chae
If not, select students you feel would be best qualified for the position.
If you are elected to Student Council, you will be contacted and asked if you would be interested in the position. Student Council meetings will be at lunch on Tuesdays.
Happy voting!
Sarah Nappi & Willy Wang

We need to all be sending the same message – the students have two choices only:
Encourage students to take their water bottles and hats outside and to find a shady place under a tree or in the cool bamboo forest.
Many students are wandering the hallways or going to their classrooms to play. If the weather “feels like” 40 degrees or more, we go to hot weather protocol. Otherwise, let’s send a common, clear message and support the students with reminding language. Outside or Gym. Thank you.
Lockdown Drill will take place on Tuesday 22 August at 09.00am as scheduled for the whole school.
Please find out the Procedure Form via your pigeonhole today and return it with your feedback to reception desk by Wednesday, Aug.23.
Thank you/Myra
