Contact Information
NIS requires up-to-date contact information before enrollment. Once you know your home address in Nagoya, please let us know as soon as possible. Before enrollment, we also require two mobile phone numbers - one for each parent - to operate our school emergency notice system. We also need other updated contact information (such as new email addresses, home telephone numbers, etc.) when available, as soon as possible.
ご住所及びその他のご連絡先が決まられましたら、出来るだけ早くお知らせ下さい。
Invoices/Payments
Invoices are issued at the point of registration for all applicable tuition and fees and are payable within 14 days or before enrollment, whichever is earlier. Failure to pay within the terms of the invoice will result in the places being released for other students. Registration and billing policies can be found HERE.

Cezars Kitchen
Cezars Kitchen works on a debit system that enables students to purchase items without cash on a daily basis. Parents must set up an account online first HERE. After setting up an account for your child, students will be given an account number and either a 4-or 5-digit number which is usually given to students in the form of a card to help memorize their number; the card can be disposed of after the students feel confident without it. Cezars Kitchen makes every effort to issue the card with the student's I.D. number on the first day to make the starting process as easy as possible.
Cezars Kitchen offers students a choice of a la carte or set meals, as well as snacks and drinks sold in the cafeteria. If there are items parents would prefer students not to eat, or if students are spending too much, parents can inform Cezars Kitchen directly and restrictions can be placed on the accounts.
Payments can be made directly to Cezars Kitchen by cash at the cafeteria, bank transfer, or online through Paypal. Please check the Cezars Kitchen website for details regarding bank transfer and online payments. For more information, you may also contact Cezars Kitchen directly (info@cezarskitchen.com). Monthly menus are viewable online HERE.
Parent Partners
"Parent Partners" are an important part of our school community and a way to support both the learning in the classroom and transitions as a parent. If you are interested in learning more about being a Parent Partner, please go HERE. There are three groups available for parents to sign-up for - either a “Transition” Parent, an “Outreach” Parent, or a "PTA Volunteer". Sign-up HERE! We appreciate very much the support of our parents in making NIS a better place for everyone.
School/Home Communication
Email is the preferred method of communication for announcements from the school. You must give NIS one, regularly used email address and we expect that you will check this regularly. NIS sends email newsletters to parents at least twice a week and also for other special announcements. It is important that you inform the office if either of the email addresses change. Email is also a key way to communicate with your child’s teachers. If you have a question for a teacher, or wish to meet with a teacher, it is best to send an email to them directly.
学校からのお知らせはEメールが中心になります。必ず日常的にお使いになるメールアドレスをお知らせ頂くとともに、日常的にメールをご確認頂きますようお願い申しあげます。NISからは最低毎週２度のEメールをお送りします。毎週必ずご覧頂くとともに、メールアドレスを変更された場合は速やかにお知らせ下さい。教師にご質問がある場合や、面会をご希望の場合にも、Eメールをお送り頂くのが最も有効な方法です。
HAIKU
“Haiku” is the NIS internal (password protected) website, and our main platform to guide parents to course information as well as other notices from teachers, the administration and offices. Access is available once enrollment has commenced. Parents and students will get an invitation with login information before the enrollment start date. Login HERE and use a temporary generic guest login for now (User Name: parents; Password: dolphins) until receiving one specific for you and your child.
"Haiku"では、お子様の履修されるクラスの情報や、学校からのお知らせや様々なお手続きに関する情報などをご覧頂けます。ご入学日までにログイン情報をお知らせしますが、それまでは一時的にこちらから一般的なお知らせをご覧いただけますのでご利用ください。 (User Name: parents; Password: dolphins) お子様の学年やアクティビティごとの情報をご覧いただくには、ご家族様ごとのログイン情報が必要です。是非 NIS Haiku Home をブックマークして頂き、出来るだけ頻繁にご覧頂くようお願い申し上げます。
PHOTOS & SOCIAL MEDIA
NIS uses Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook to share, collaborate and celebrate the learning in our community. Parents are encouraged to follow these social media networks as well to learn about the school and activities. Photos are uploaded onto school photo galleries.
NISは、学習の様子を発信したりコミュニティ内で共有するために、ツイッター、ユーチューブ、インスタグラム、フェイスブックなどのSNSを利用しています。保護者の皆様にも是非上記のSNSをご利用頂くことをお勧めします。また、フォトギャラリーはこちらからご覧頂けます。
