Secondary Teachers,
If you’ve asked students to keep a library book in your room for silent reading (great!!), please have them either return the books this week or BRING them to the library to be renewed. Some of these books have been out since August. Feel free to bring any of your classes up to the library to check out books for the holiday. Thanks so much!
Dear NIS Faculty, Staff, and Students,
As the Winter Break approaches, the IT department extends heartfelt wishes for a happy and restful holiday to each of you. 🎄✨
With just one week left before we break for the winter holidays, we’re gearing up for some housekeeping. Part of this involves conducting a thorough inventory of our loaner devices and accessories, including chargers and other peripherals.
🔍 Inventory Time: Your Cooperation Needed
To facilitate a smooth inventory process, we kindly request anyone who has borrowed equipment from the IT department to return these items by Thursday, December 14th, 2023. This will help us ensure that everything is accounted for and in good working order for the upcoming year.
🚫 Pause on Loaning Equipment
Please note, during this final week (leading up to the holidays), we will not be issuing any loaner devices or accessories. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
📣 Friendly Reminder
Returning borrowed items on time is crucial for our inventory process and helps us maintain our resources effectively. Your timely response will be greatly appreciated!
We thank you for your continual support and understanding throughout this year. Let’s make these last few days count and head into the holiday season with great cheer and anticipation for the new year ahead!
Wishing you all a joyful winter break!
Warm regards,
The IT Department at NIS 🌟🖥️🌟
