NIS Air Quality Index (AQI) Guidelines

Winter months can sometimes result a AQI increase. Please take a moment to have a look at our current AQI Guidelines and let SET or SLT know what questions you may have. This is something we are constantly reviewing.

We currently use the “Air Matters” App to get readings from the Qixia monitor (which is a few blocks away) on the US AQI setting. It’s up to all of us to monitor and act upon these readings, especially prior to Break and Lunch Recess.

Also a reminder that our world class, state-of-the-art, well maintained, often inspected, and well resourced campus-wide air purification system only works if we keep our outside-facing windows and doors closed.

Thanks!

Outstanding SENIA Virtual Conference!

The Special Education Network and Inclusion Association (SENIA) is offering an outstanding virtual conference December 2-4. Keynoters include Dr. Katie Novak, Cornelius Minor, and Dr. Temple Grandin!

The conference experience is based around four strands with ace facilitators lined up:

-Growing Inclusive Practices (UDL/EAL/Sensory/Twice Exceptional Learners)

-Nurturing Diversity (Gender & Sexuality/Safe Spaces/BIPOC Experiences/Intersectionality)

-Building Better Programs (Policies/Data/Testing/Documentation/IEPs)

-Fostering SEL (Brain science behind behavior/pandemic effects/wellness)

The cost is only $250 USD, which would come from our individual Professional Learning Allowances. If we register more than 10 people, this comes down to $150 USD, what a deal! Please take a look and speak with Kasson or Tanya (our very own SENIA Board Member!) for more information.
