Like audiobooks? Make sure to listen to them using SORA, not Overdrive!

Starting Wednesday, September 4, 2019, you will no longer be able to download audiobooks from OverDrive if you are using a Mac, iPhone, or iPad. You can use SORA instead for audiobooks.

Overdrive users on Mac devices will still have access to ebooks, but it might just be easier to make the switch to SORA!

MSUS lunch time changes for today

Dear Middle and Upper School students,

Today lunch 2 will begin at 12.50. You may go into the Cafeteria for lunch at 12.50. This is because lunch finishes at 1.15pm tomorrow in time for the Parent Led Conferences.

School closes at 1.15pm. There are no early dismissals. You many not leave campus until 1.15pm.

All questions to Mrs Clarke and Ms Ham.

 

 

 

New ebooks & audiobooks available – Overdrive/Sora

Did you know we have ebooks and audiobooks for kids from age 2-99? The easiest way to get them is to download Sora, Overdrive’s student reading app. It works on all smart phones AND laptops! You simply type Nanjing International School to find our school in the app, then login using your ID number as both your username AND password. Students and teachers are ready to go…parents need to stop by the library to request an account. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Of course, you can always stop by the downstairs primary library with any questions or concerns!

Students in upstairs hallways

Dear MSUS Students,

A reminder that you must wait for the bell to go before you can go upstairs to your lockers at the end of lunchtime. Students are not permitted to be in the upstairs hallways during lunchtime.

Student Access to Campus

Hello NIS Students,

We care about you and want nothing more than your safety and security. With this in mind, there are times you cannot be on campus, places you cannot go on campus, and things you cannot do while on campus. To find out more, click here for our Student Access to Campus document.

We love it when you are here before school, after-school, and on the weekends for scheduled and supervised NIS co-curricular activities. We don’t love it so much when you are here at these times and should not be.

You know who loves you all the time? Your parents! Please visit them at your home instead of gaming in the cafeteria or lurking around the hallways after school. They will appreciate it and so will we. Many thanks.
