Pause for Progress Reports:
We will push “pause” with Collaboration Carousel to allow teachers time to focus on progress report writing this afternoon.
You can find all the resources for Q1 Progress Reports in the Staff Folder- Primary School Folder-Progress Reports. See Adam and Junlah for further support.
Hello All,
Please find the very-close-to-final draft schedule for our 25th Anniversary Celebration next Friday. The gist of the day is a completely collapsed schedule with a morning of creation, community, and cupcakes and an afternoon of presentation, celebration, and excitation. The only preparation students and staff need to do is to begin to plan out their NIS attire for the day (T-shirts available via Samantha!)
More details to come next Tuesday. It the meantime, let the excitement build as we prepare to be enshrined in NIS History!
Kognity training will be tomorrow (Friday) for all Grade 11 students in Biology, Business and Management, Geography.
You should have already received an email with your log in details. Please make sure you access the site before we meet tomorrow.
Thanks!
Ms Ham and Mr Barder

Massive thanks to everyone for their enthusiasm and effort in the Tech Challenge. As you can see by the results above, it was an almost perfect afternoon for Xuanwu. Points were awarded: 3 points for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, 1 point for 3rd. In the case of a tie, both teams were awarded the first place points.
Congratulations, Xuanwu, Taiping, and Wutaishan.
Please pass on any feedback through your Advisory so we can make Tech Challenge even better next semester. (Advisors: please send us an email with any feedback: sonyaterborg@nanjing-school.com)

All grade 6-10 students, please put your bag in your locker at the beginning of lunch today. BAGS MAY NOT BE BROUGHT TO TECH CHALLENGE SPACES. You will need nothing. At the end of lunch, when the music sounds, please head straight to the area outside the red double doors/ foyer and line up in year levels. One single file line, left to right, grade 6 to year 10. Once your line is ready, your ‘teacher in charge of lines’ will escort you to your space for block 5.
Please gather in your space, listen carefully to the instructions given out by the teachers with you and then battle to the death for the glory of your house! #I’mXuanwufoo#I’maWutaishanfan#It’saTaipingthing#

Good Morning,
Students please complete the following steps before your next MAP test:
2. If it is NOT, you need to upgrade the operating system making sure that it is OS X El Capitan (Version 10.11 see above picture), macOS Sierra (Version 10.12) or macOS High Sierra (Version 10.13):
3. If you are unsure of how to do this or confused by these instructions, please bring it by the IT Offices and we will upgrade it for you.
Advisors/Homeroom teachers please make sure that this happens to ensure a smoother MAP testing session for you and your colleagues.
Thank you,
The IT Department
