NIS Since 1992 Ribbons
On Wednesday morning, students will write their one word that represents NIS on a ribbon.
Today & Tuesday, please discuss this with students in Homeroom and Advisory, asking them to think about their word.
On Tuesday afternoon, ribbons and pens will be put in Homeroom Teacher and Advisory Teacher pigeon holes for pickup.
Note: students may write their word in English or their home language
As students write their words, please record the words, IN ENGLISH, in the attached Word document. No commas, just spaces between words. In the case that a word may be used by different students more than once, repeat the word. Ex: if 4 students use the word “inclusive”, write inclusive 4 times.
Finally, return ribbons to Lucy and email the Word document to Lucy as well.
Thank you!
Veracross – Bolder, Brighter, and more Beautiful!
You may have logged into Veracross last night, or early this morning and found something new. Don’t fear, you’re still in the correct spot for your NIS learning needs! The day has come for the release of our new (and improved) Veracross Portal page for Students, Parents and Faculty. What does this mean for you? A true portal for students and faculty in terms of finding all those links to Managebac, Office 365, etc. and all from your “homepage” on Veracross. Also, a more visual page that will hopefully aid with navigation for those of us still learning to navigate the English language. There may be some things that we may have missed in the transition or that are merely found under a different heading. Either way, please don’t hesitate to email us if you feel something is missing and we will try to fix it.

Week of Failing Forwards
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who offered a workshop or participated in the week in any way. The majority of students loved the opportunity to try something new and were willing to throw themselves at it. Workshop leaders, too, enjoyed themselves. The material for sharing with your class will remain available; continue to develop the self-talk and support-talk in advisory and in class. Continue also to encourage risk-taking, an ease with making mistakes and reflection on the lessons learned-the 3 Rs!
If you have anything to share from your workshop-a product, photos, a performance-display boards will be available in the foyer from Monday and a stage on Friday.
Thanks again for your flexibility and support.
