Mr. Bratton Out
Just a quick reminder to MYP teachers that I will be out learning about the rich cultural heritage of Nanjing with Grade 8’s all day tomorrow. Juan said that he is happy to do both of our jobs tomorrow since he basically already does every other day anyway. Perfect!

ACAMIS Kids Read Friday
Stop by the PAC on Friday to support our NIS Kids Read Team as they compete against 8 other schools in a reading quiz bowl. Our NIS team is comprised of 9 avid readers from Grades 6-8- Anselma, Emily, Eva, Lucy, Noah, Angela C., Angela W., Felicity and Sean!
We will be setting up several rows of chairs across the back of the PAC for an audience. The times are as follows:
- 9:00-10:00 (part of Block 1 & 2)
- 11:00-11:45 (Block 3)
- 12:45-2:00 (during lunch)
We would just ask that you:
- enter and leave the PAC very quietly in case the competition is in mid-round when you arrive
- please do NOT shout out the answers (tempting I know)
Hope to see you in the PAC!

Software updates
The Mac OS has had many updates these past few months. We’ve seen non-updated computers visiting unintended websites. It is in your best interests to update your computer. This can be done using the following steps.
1. Go to Apple menu and click Software update
2. Under the App Store update section click on all buttons listed as “UPDATE”
3. Some items require a restart; if that is the case, repeat these steps again until all updates have been applied
DO NOT INSTALL YOSEMITE, The App Store shows an option to install Yosemite, this is not to be confused with updating. If you feel uncomfortable with these updates email help@nanjing-school.com or drop your computer by the Apple Store
