MAP Testing Setup

We are approaching MAP testing time at NIS.  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

The NIS IT Support Team

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!

Today (Thursday, Mar. 20th) is the last full day to see the DP Visual Arts and Film Exhibition in the Cafeteria Loft! Please visit if you have not yet had a chance to do so. Tomorrow (Friday, Mar. 21st), we will be taking down the exhibition before lunch.

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

DP VA & Film Exhibition Continues until this Friday!

Thank you to all our visitors (students, parents, faculty, and community members) who came to our opening night last Friday! We had a fantastic turnout (despite the rain!) and the students were delighted you took the time to see & hear their stories.

The DP VA & Film Exhibition continues to be on display this week until Friday in the Cafeteria Loft (don’t wait until Friday though because that’s also when we will take down the artworks). Although the artists won’t be there in person this week, we have prepared an intro video from each visual artist via a QR code at each space. Art has the power to change the way we see the world; through this exhibition, we hope you will be inspired and challenged by our senior artists and filmmakers to reflect on new perspectives and ideas in your own lives.

P.S. We would love to hear from you! Please don’t forget to scan the Arts Guest Book QR Code within the poster above to leave a message for our student artists & film makers!
