MAP testing (Secondary)

Just a friendly neighbourhood reminder. 🦁

MAP assessments begin Week 29 for Gr 6-10. A schedule will be sent to you later this week.

A reminder that a system update is needed for MAP testing. Instructions were sent out earlier on the Daily Bulletin.
Students should make sure that their laptops are up-to-date with the system update. Wednesday/Friday advisory time will be a time to ask for support. IT will also be around to support during that time.

Have a great day!

Map Testing Setup

We are approaching MAP testing time at NIS (Week 29 Gr 6-10 and Week 33 Gr 3-5).  To help us with a smooth MAP testing session, we are asking students to do a few things to get their computers and/or iPads ready for the test.   We have put together technology guides to assist you in this process. 

If you are a student in grade 3-4 with an iPad please follow  these instructions

If you are a student in grade 5-10 please follow   these instructions.

As always, if you need assistance, please come, and visit the IT Department located on the first floor of The HUB. 

Thank you

Rock Your Socks: Celebrate Today!

On 21 March, choose some socks that are going to get noticed!

They might be mismatched socks or your boldest and most colorful socks, whatever takes your fancy!

The idea is to start a conversation, so when people ask you about your socks, you can tell them, “I’m wearing them to raise awareness of Down syndrome”.

Then, you can tell them everything you want them to know about Down syndrome. You can find resources here!

Get together with your friends/homeroom/advisory and take photos of your socks and share on Teams or email to TanyaFarrol@nanjing-school.com

Last day to see the DP Visual Arts & Film Exhibition!

Please remember to scan the QR code below to leave a kind message for our artists/film makers!
