Dear Mandarin Phase 3 Students…a reminder to be in the LGR at the start of break today to meet your partner from the local school. This will be a super quick meeting as Grade 9 will need to get to the Science Fair asap. Don’t be late!

If you are interested in joining the Ski Trip to Japan, please contact Mr Clarke. See poster below for details.

Students, parents, and staff members can check out library books over the summer if you will be returning to campus in August. I would suggest checking those books out as soon as possible, since we are beginning to box up the secondary portion of the library this week to move to our temporary location for next year.

End-of-Year Technology Notice

As is always the case, many of our families head off to their new homes as we approach the end of the school year. Your NIS IT Department wants to make this segue as care-free as possible. To this end, please note the following important dates for access to various services online. We are also happy to facilitate your transfer of files provided you give us some lead time and book with us in advance. We will also have normal working hours the week after school is out, so we can also plan to assist you then, as well. This is not goodbye, only farewell until we meet again!

Are you a Middle or Upper School student? Do you know where you are supposed to be in block 1 today? These are the possible options:

• In an exam (All of Grade 10 and some students in Grades 7 -9)
• In an activity that you have previously signed up for (check your Veracross portal)
• In the US Student lounge (G11 only)
• In your regular class (Grade 6 only)

If in doubt, ask your Advisor for help 🙂
