Hello All,
We will practice an evacuation drill today at 2:30pm. Those with Homeroom assignments have been notified. All other teachers should gather on the track, in the area closest to the PAC. SET will help direct traffic.
Once the practice is complete, we’ll plan to launch right into our “Community Connections” sessions.
Many Thanks!
Below is an incredibly useful link to glossaries in multiple languages for common words/expressions used in Language Arts, Humanities, Science & Maths at the three levels – primary, middle and upper school. These might prove to be invaluable as a permanent resource for your respective classrooms.

Dear all,
For the Strategy Session prep Friday 8:30 in Music Room:
See you then.
Thanks for your role in yesterday’s SY18/19 Launch.
Coffee/Tea provided in the Lounge this morning and snacks at break.
Come by the Lounge and visit our “Community Lion”
Have a great day! Today’s Schedule is reattached here for your convenience.
There have been a few updates to Friday’s INSET schedule based on a change to the Amazing Race activity due to the heat.
This will result in a bit more planning time for teachers on the day and an opportunity to achieve the goals of the Race in a shorter time slot, here at NIS, and without going outside… much.
Members of the Amazing Race planning team (Gretchen, Darren, Bella, Laurel, and Paul) will make short announcements at the Primary, G9-12 Advisory, and XBlock team meetings this morning with details. Please see this team with questions.
Many Thanks!

Hello All,
Please find the INSET schedule linked here.
See everyone in the cafeteria at 8am for breakfast and a catch-up!
Hello All,
A warm welcome and welcome back to everyone! We hope the holiday was outstanding and that you are excited for the year ahead. One of the best things about a break is the perspective it brings, which can help us appreciate just how wonderful our special little learning community really is!
Attached is our schedule for August INSET and our opening week with students. Please have a look when you are ready to flip the switch into work mode. As always, another handy resource is our STAFF FOLDER, which is updated and awaiting your queries. Why not make bookmarking this essential repository your first formal act of the new school year?!
We’ll plan to start in earnest at 8:00am on Wednesday morning with what has become our traditional breakfast gathering in the cafeteria and go from there.
See you soon!
The car park will be closed to staff on Friday 10th of August due to Enrollment day.
Dear overseas staff,
Please find here attached the digital form. You can also find it in the share folder.
Best wishes,

A reminder that there are two session scheduled today for new staff. The first begins at 10:30am in the MS/US LGR to discuss Child Protection and Break Time Teaching. The second begins after lunch at 1:30pm in the same place to unpack the Mission with Laurie. See you then!
Hello New-to-NIS Colleagues,
A reminder that tech training sessions are planned for today in the MS/US LGR (the same space we utilized for yesterday’s SET moment). Because you are traveling to acquire SIM cards in two groups today, tech sessions will repeat at 9:00am (group two) and 1:30pm (group one). This and future “Planning for Learning” meetings are outlined in the Planning for Learning Session Details document.
The focus of today’s IT sessions will be a look at our Edublog/Daily Bulletin features, and an overview of Veracross. Please feel free to check in with your friendly neighborhood SET for any assistance whatsoever today and beyond.
See you soon!
Congratulations! You’ve received your first Daily Bulletin! Check out the menu below to see what else we will (try to) cover in today’s session. Remember, you can always contact us for more information and get help from us at it-help@nanjing-school.com (or via our direct email in these early days).
