NAT Testing on Monday
There are two key testing requirements that we all need to be aware of for the start of the school year.
- All staff require a negative NAT result within 48 hours of Tuesday, August 30th.
- All students, including staff children, require a negative NAT result within 48 hours of Tuesday, August 30th.
On Monday we will offer NAT testing for all students and staff children who attend NIS in the Blue Gym from 9:00-10:30am. This will satisfy the testing requirements to start the school year. Staff or staff children that are not able to attend this session should ensure they have a negative NAT result within 48 hours of Tuesday, August 30th. Our usual surveys will begin just before the first days of school to collect this information.
Please contact Kasson with questions.
Many thanks!
Catering from Monday
From Monday we will return to our normal catering approach. This means usual break snacks provided and food for purchase available from Aden. On Monday, lunch will also be available for purchase. Thanks to Annie and her team for the yummy food on offer this week!
