Come and support the Grade 9-12 students in their inter house volleyball competition at lunchtime today.

Competition starts at 12.50 in the blue gym.
Don’t forget … Speech and Debate meeting at the start of lunch in Ms Ham’s classroom. D341. Be there!
Provide written notes, summaries, instructions, and prereading
ELL/English B students may not be able to process oral information quickly enough to understand fully or to make their own meaningful notes; your notes can highlight key ideas, new words, etc; written instructions are particularly useful to students when homework or major projects are assigned.
Children learn best when they feel secure and are interested in what they are
doing. Successful learning takes place in a supportive, non-threatening,
enjoyable learning environment.
Teachers,
As I mentioned at the briefing yesterday, I’m beginning to explore the use of game mechanics in a classroom setting. This is not the same thing as playing (video) games in class. Rather, it’s similar to transforming the classroom culture into a role-playing game. If you’re curious, here’s a video of Classcraft: the platform that makes this concept easier to implement.
A number of colleges will be visiting over the students’ breaktime on Monday 19th October. They will run a mini-fair from 10.20-10.40 and then offer targetted talks to students from 10.40-11.00am. There risks to be some lateness to your block 3 class on Monday 19th October from Grades 11 and 12. If you require students absolutely to attend class from 10.40, you are of course free to insist on this. I will be telling students that they must ask you in advance to miss this 20 minutes from your class if they really are interested in the discussion being offered.
The attached list of students will participate in the ACAMIS X-country competition on Fri 9 Oct – Sun 11 Oct. They will be out of school all of Friday (Day 3). Their teachers should receive an OLF today, apologies for the lateness of this, the holidays took us by surprise. Thanks for your flexibility and understanding.
Please refer to the attached schedule for grade level/homeroom photo times. Please let me know by 4:30 P.M. on Tuesday, Oct. 6 if there are any conflicts with your scheduled timeYearbook mugshot Oct 2015 Schedule 1.

Learning is an interactive process. Students will learn English more effectively when they have opportunities to use the language for genuine communication. Therefore ELL/English B students need opportunities to interact socially.
Hello Students of NIS,
Are you enthusiastic about drama, do you have a hobby in film making or do you just want to be a part of a fun event? Well then the perfect opportunity is coming up.
My name is Kostya Tyoschin and for my PPP I will be creating a short film. I need actors therefore I need a cast and crew. There are five roles and two positions for crew members.
