Student Activities for 2020-2021

We used to call these After School Activities, Clubs, Performing Arts, Service, Cultural Activities, Volunteering etc. We have changed the name to hopefully streamline the registration and catalogue view on Veracross and on the school’s website. Also our goal is to provide our Primary School students a more balanced programme.

Today at 1pm, we will be sending out the teacher sign-up spreadsheet for 2020-21 Student Activities Programme. All teachers and teaching assistants should offer 2 Student Activities during the academic year. You may choose to offer to the PS, MS or the US. At the bottom of the page, you may select the Cycle.

Cycle 1: August 31 – October 16

Cycle 2: November 2 – December 17

Cycle 3: January 18 – March 19 (Discover China March 1-5)

Cycle 4: March 29th – May 21

If you are coaching a sport, that counts as one of your required offerings. Kindly indicate this on the bottom of Sheet 1.

In the event that we are teaching online during Cycle 1, teachers and teaching assistants will need to move to their Student Activity to Cycle 2, 3 and/or 4.

Please stop by if you have any questions.

Decluttering Today!

Please have a look in the PAC today for hidden treasures that can be put to use a learning materials for next school year and beyond. Cheers!

I Feel Good!

Do you feel good about finishing the year on a high and going into the summer holidays? If so, then sing, dance, or perform your joy! The NIS Community Rock Band (teachers, students, parents, etc.) are putting together a performance of James Brown’s “I Feel Good.”  This will be a virtual / online performance (multi-screen performance).

If you’d like to join, then please contact Ms. Keus who send you rehearsal files. We’ll need all the videos in by Monday morning of this upcoming week.

Here’s a YouTube sample to help you familiarise yourself with the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrv-Morm-c0

Important update on Clearance Procedures & Year Books for leaving or absent students

Hi Teachers,

Just an update that as parents are not allowed on campus to support our leaving students we have simplified the process this semester.

This message below + the link has gone out to all leaving families.

You all know that our Year Book is a super important memento for all our students. If you can make sure on the last day that those absent students also get a book signed by their friends, that will be much appreciated. Put a sticker with their name on the outside, and if you already have intel on who might be able to take it home for them – add that name or pass it on as appropriate.

Please leave those Year Books either in Admissions/Reception or with Weiwei and we will do our best to get them despatched over the holidays.

Any questions just drop by and see us or send an email to: admissions@nanjing-school.com

“Dear Parents,

Unfortunately as you all know, this year our parents are not able to come onto campus to complete the Clearance Form.

To ensure that your children are able to obtain their final school records, reports and deposits (if applicable) we would like you to fill out this simplified form – one form per student.

Please click on this link below : Clearance Form information for parents

Kindly make sure you have no library books outstanding and that any balances with Chartwells are settled before you leave Nanjing.

There is very important information in this link on how to get the final reports and documents for your child or children during the final week.

We will be very sad to see you leave and wish you safe onward journey wherever you are heading.

Stay safe, well and happy and keep in touch with your friends here at NIS.

Kind regards

Sue N

Sue Northcott

Admissions Director”
