Please see details below on some research a former NIS student is conducting for her Grade 10 Personal Project:
How might we share our Xblock projects? How might we set effective goals for our projects? How might we deepen our learning in Xblock?
The answer to all of these questions begins with data! Beginning today Mr Jacobson and Ms Merrylees will begin collecting some of the data we need to help us answer these questions.
What do you need to do?
Grade 6: Go to the LGR at the start of Xblock today (block 3) to find out
Grade 7: Go to the LGR at 11.20
Grade 8: Go to the LGR at 12 noon
See you later for more on data…!

Please note that the newest MacOS version – Catalina – has been released and we are currently testing its stability. At this time we do not recommend this upgrade as there are still many bugs in it. If you choose to upgrade, you do so at your own risk. If you have upgraded already and need to downgrade to MacOS Mojave, please make time to stop by the IT office for support.
This time, can I have shoes WITHOUT shoelaces please??

What is a RAMS form?
Why do I need to use it when taking students on a trip?
How detailed must I be when filling it in?

Come along to the MSUS LGR on Monday at 3:15pm to ask all of these questions and more.
PechaKucha or Pecha Kucha is a presentation style in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each. The format, which keeps presentations concise and fast-paced, powers multiple-speaker events called PechaKucha Nights.
A reminder that time-honored community tradition at NIS, Pecha Kucha makes its triumphant return November 23, at 7pm. If you or someone you know would like to present an idealistic idea, tell a sumptuous story, or recite a poem you created about your most favorite thing in the whole world with 20 images at 20 seconds a piece, please contact bobbuhler@nanjing-school.com
If you are considering giving Pecha Kucha a go, but aren’t sure yet, please have a chat with veteran NIS PK’ers Ruth, Luiz, Laurie, Amy, Kasson, Rick, or Bob. We’ll all tell you to go for it!

Hi All,
A reminder that in advance of Learning2 @ NIS, please consider the following regarding use of all classroom spaces from NEXT Thursday at 3:01pm
-Please leave the room as you would like it be if you were presenting to adults in this space.
-Please leave whiteboards clean.
-Please leave the protector remote near the screen in an obvious location.
-Please stow any materials that you would like not be be touched.
-Spaces will likely be rearranged to some extent. Though we will do our best to leave things as they were found, some readjustment on Monday morning may be required.
Many thanks for your assistance as we welcome the world to NIS!
A heads-up that there will be heavy set-up today from around 4pm in the Library Foyer resulting in a great deal of “stuff” in this space tomorrow (Thursday) in preparation for L2. After school one of our vendors will be putting assembling their wares in front of the main building and in the Library Foyer itself, which means that tomorrow this space will look very different (and be quite full). Could you please assist us by moving students safely through this space tomorrow? Many Thanks!
