NIS News - First Days
Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year!
Great First Days
It was so exciting to have students and staff back in the building this week, filling our many learning spaces with joy and laughter as all worked hard to learn new expectations and build classroom communities across the school. All in all, it was a fantastic opening with very minimal kinks to work out. We are optimistic that your child will have some highlights to share with you about their first days of the 2019-2020 school year. No doubt the new playground may be mentioned in those conversations...a long awaited highlight for sure!
Please be sure to reach out to your child's teachers and counselor often with insights that will assist them in supporting your child to be the very best student they can be this school year. Your partnership with us is a critical component to support the success of your child! We hope that you hear from us often as well so that you feel fully informed about your child's experience at NIS.
We wish you great joy (and relief) as you hear all about the first days of this very important school year in the life of your child!
Warmest regards,
Evemarie McNeil, NIS Principal
Arrival Reminders
Drop-off Reminders:
- Students may exit buses and cars at 7:35 AM when supervision is available and school doors open.
- Students are expected to be in classrooms ready to learn at 7:50 AM. Please arrive by 7:45 AM.
- Students arriving prior to 7:35 AM should register for a before school program such as Breakfast Buddies.
- Parents driving children to school should use the Backus Lane entrance and follow the drop-off line around the side driveway loop. Do not drop-off using the Surfside road entrance as it's rare there is a parking space to safely drop off students. Please do not park in handicap parking spaces without the appropriate placard.
- Before you drop-off your student, be sure he/she knows their specific plan for after school.
Thank you!
