As you know, every G6-10 student must complete ONE volunteering experience per semester.

Here is another chance!

We are hosting a Football tournament on Saturday, October 30. We need people to help collect the balls when the balls are kicked out of bounds. You need to be quick on your feet and focused on the game!

Please sign up for a shift on Veracross. We need eight volunteers for each shift. Here are the times:

A) 9.10 am – 10.25 am

B) 10.20 am – 12.15 pm or when the game finishes.

C) 1.20 pm – 3.15 pm

D) 3.10 pm – 4.40 pm or when the game finishes.

If you have any questions, please see members of the NISSAC team (Jisook, Chloe B., Yerin, Rachel, Katty, Jessica L, Jihyun, Kangjun, Donggeun and Woohyeong).

Sign up on Veracross! It’ll open at 10.30.

WAIT….

did you know that

students in G6-10 need to do

at least ONE volunteering

experience per semester?????

You didn’t? It’s okay, I am letting you know now (again). All students in grades 6-10 must do

at least ONE volunteering experience and then fully document it on ManageBac. Don’t worry, I’ll remind you AGAIN,

and AGAIN, and AGAIN! The PTA is once again hosting the Autumn Festival and will need awesome and energetic volunteers

to help with games and face painting. The sign up will be on Veracross. You will need to purchase a ticket for 50 rmb which entitles

you some food and drink. There are 2 shifts. Each shift requires 25 fantastic volunteers.

Shift #1 – 3:30-5:15pm

Shift #2 – 4:45-7:00pm

If you have any questions, please contact Ms Cheryl Moen or Ms Suzy Walker.

Hello Grade 6-12 Students,

If you have not done so already please download the new NWEA MAP App today! Instructions can be found here or here. Please see IT for additional support.

The schedule for your testing over the next two weeks is located here. Please note your testing times and locations. Students testing in Block One should check in with your Block One teacher for attendance, then head to your testing location.

As always, the best preparation is a good night’s sleep, a charged laptop, and a positive mental attitude. Please let your Advisor, Ms. Clarke, or Mr. Bratton know what questions you may have.

Give this your best.

If  you have already completed a volunteering experience, please update your MB now!

One of the projects in Grade 10 Design is the repurposing of bicycles. The students have come  up with some great ideas but what we are lacking is used bicycles to re-purpose. If you have an old bicycle taking up space at home we would love to give it a new life in some form. We are hoping to start work in the next week or so. If you are able to help please contact Mr Stevens, Mrs Clarke or any of the Design teachers. Thank you!
