Hello colleagues!

My G8 Game designers need you and your students to play-test the games they have made.

In the interests of not overcrowding, we can have a combination of kids in my space and in yours.

We need approximately 45 students to test our 18 games.

When: Friday 12th June

Time: Block 4 (Approximately 12:00 noon or a bit after)

Who: Any students in Grades 4-9

 

We have 2 game designers who need kids with Minecraft on their computer (up to 6 kids). If you could specify that you have a Minecraft player, that would be really helpful!

Please let me know by email if you are interested in playing games during block 4 on Friday.

Thanks so much!

Sonya

End of year – library books due!

Please return your library books to the tub in front of the library. Unfortunately, except for DP students, there will be no summer checkout this summer. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

Briefing Today

Monday Morning Briefing will happen in the PAC today during Break. See you then!

Thank You 2019-2020 NIS Ambassadors

The NIS Ambassadors play a key role in welcoming new students to the NIS community.  A transition can be a difficult process in a person’s life, especially during a time where developmentally you are so social. Having a support network of peers available helps ease with the arrivals and the farewells.  Thank you, NIS Ambassadors, for your support, you are an asset to the community.  Please stay tuned for the 2020-2021 NIS Ambassadors.

 

Managebac Level II – Last sessions this week!

Managebac Training

 

Our last two Managebac Level II training will be offered today from 1300 in D218. (Note: You must complete Level I training and the accompanying quiz in order to take Level II). Level III will be offered on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week covering the communication aspects of Managebac.

The instructional portion of the training will be around 20-30 minutes, but Cindy and Joe will be available for the duration of the lunch break to answer questions and facilitate deeper dives. All MS/US teachers must attend at least one session prior to the end of the school year (and before taking any other levels of Managebac training). Level II will cover the following:

Reporting – an introduction to how the gradebook functions in Managebac and connects with the various assessment tasks you’ve created, as well as how this looks on the student side.

Teachers will be able to:

  1. Understand how Formative and Summative assessments are represented in the Gradebook tab
  2. Understand how Managebac displays feedback on tasks to students
  3. Navigate through the Gradebook tab including student progress section
  4. Understand how tasks are represented on the Student portfolio (including the “Learning Goals” feature)

We look forward to hosting you in D218 at 1300! Special thanks to Danny for the use of his classroom.
