A WELCOME MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
JAY SILVERSTEIN, Ph.D.
I welcome you to the NIS community with enthusiasm and high expectations for the upcoming year. The core principles upon which NIS was founded are respect for the individual needs of each child and embracing parents as partners in your child's educational journey. NIS continues to uphold these values through our unique staff and their commitment to warm, engaging, and meaningful relationships with the children. We offer numerous venues for you to share in your child's education and the NIS community - monthly thematic events, team meetings, parent council, parent workshops, and special events. NIS continues to grow from our experiences with you and your child and we encourage your involvement in the form that works best for your family. On behalf of the administration and staff at NIS, I welcome you to the NIS family and feel truly privileged to be entrusted with the care of your child. We are committed to exceeding your expectations.

| Dear Friends of NIS, Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! We are thrilled to see those of you who are returning, and getting to know those families who are new to NIS this fall! We have many exciting activities planned for students and their families this year, and look forward to having a wonderful year of learning, growing, and flourishing together. We know how difficult it can be to drop your children off on their first days of preschool, so we welcome you to come to the Open Space after you drop your children off for a Boo-Hoo Breakfast, to shed a tear or two with other families sharing similar emotions. It will be a nice way to calm your nerves while getting to know other families within the school. Please 'like' us on Facebook today, as we update our page daily with important information and post fun snap shots of school activities. All weather related delays and cancellations will also be posted on our Facebook site. This monthly e-newsletter will also serve as a good reference for you, as it will have all of the important dates and information you will need for the month. We encourage attendance at our Parent Council meetings, where you can learn ways you can help us at school events and fundraisers, join committees, and more. Meeting dates will be posted on monthly e-newsletters. We look forward to getting to know all of you! Our goal is to make NIS a home away from home. We look forward to another fun year at NIS! Sincerely, Susan Cali Director of Development (x128) |

NIS Social Story
|
Be sure to check out
our website and share NIS's social story with your children before their first day of school! It will
familiarize them with our school and the faces they'll see while they are here. Enjoy!
