MAP Testing Today and Tomorrow
Hello Gnarly Grade 9’s,
You will take the MAP Reading Test today after Advisory in the LGR. Please bring along your charged laptop and a positive mental attitude!
For all Grade 6-10 students, the MAP make-up/wrap-up session will be held tomorrow at 1:15pm in the LGR. This means those students involved will have permission to eat in first lunch. You will receive an email from Mr. Bratton today if you are a student that needs to attend this session.
Have a great Monday!
Australian School Visit
On Tuesday, the 24th of September, a group of 44 middle school students from Australia will be visiting NIS to give a music performance / workshop. The topic will be a history of Australia, as seen through music.
Block 4: MSUS music students will attend during xBlock. This will also include all grade 9 and 10 music students (see email from last week). Advanced Orchestra students are allowed to attend if they get their teachers’ permissions beforehand.
Block 5: PS students will be attending after lunch. They will sit on the floor of the middle music room, so there is plenty of space for any primary classes that still want to attend.
Please see Amy for more information. Thanks!

Spirit Friday Dress
A friendly reminder regarding our updated approach to staff dress on Fridays.
Because we have such a high number of parents and visitors on-campus each Friday and because we typically have House and/or athletic events on these days, the idea is that staff choose to wear NIS tops, work-appropriate jeans, and clean trainers as a way to promote school spirit and a united aesthetic. The other option on Fridays is simply to wear regular Monday-Thursday attire. Our dress expectations from the Personal Handbook are here as a reference point as well. Many thanks!
