- New System & App Requestsby Shannon Doak
To help protect student, staff, and school data—and ensure compliance with China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL)—NIS has a process for reviewing new digital systems, applications, and platforms before they are adopted. The protocol requires new systems to be reviewed for data collection, security, cross-border transfers, vendor compliance, and, where required, a Personal Information Protection Impact Assessment (PIPIA) and CAC Standard Contract.
- Before using a new app, platform, or digital system, submit a System Adoption Request (SARF).
- Educational systems are reviewed by the appropriate educational leadership before moving to IT for data protection and technical review.
- Operational systems are reviewed by the Director of Operations before moving to IT.
- IT will review systems for PIPL compliance, data security, storage location, cross-border data transfers, and vendor requirements.
- Please do not enter student, staff, or family data into a new system until it has been approved.
- Not sure whether something needs review? Ask IT before signing up or uploading data.

- Accounts Office Service & Reimbursement Arrangementsby Julia Zhang
As we begin the new school year, the Accounts Office would like to share a few reminders to help streamline reimbursement, payment processing and finance support services.
Please note the following arrangements:
- Cashier’s Window: To better align our services with current demand, the cashier’s window will generally operate twice a week, on Monday and Thursday, from 8:00–11:30 and 12:30–16:00.
- Finance Enquiries: Please email Julia Zhang for credit card payment requests, WeChat Pay support and other finance-related enquiries. Requests and walk-in consultations will normally be handled on Wednesday afternoons, unless the matter is urgent.
- Staff Reimbursements: Reimbursements will normally be paid once a month by bank transfer, on the last Thursday of each month, separately from payroll.
- Urgent Cash Reimbursements: Cash reimbursements are available only for special cases (e.g. student trips or activities). Please enter “Cash to [Recipient Name]” in the Payee’s Info or Bank Info field on the E-form.
- Submission of Approved E-forms: To ensure reimbursements can be processed on time, please submit the printed and approved E-form, together with all supporting documents, e.g. FA PIAO or Invoice, to the Accounts Office in advance of the monthly payment run.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we continue to provide timely and efficient finance services.
