NWCS Spring ’22 – Newsletter, Week 12 (06/04/22)
Dear NWCS Families,
As we start the month of June, we are heading to the final stretch with only 3 sessions left – including the graduation and year end celebration. This week, we will host a General Assembly in Briarcliff Middle school cafeteria – 9:20 ~ 9:50 AM. We cordially invite you to join for the discussion.
Year End Celebration
We will combine this year’s graduation with the year end celebration. Vice Principal, Mrs. Francine Feng, is hard at work coordinating with teachers on performance and programming. Please feel free to contribute ideas and assistance to make this special event memorable and fun.
New Elective Course Coming This Fall
I’d like to announce a new culture class coming this Fall. The class will be focusing on Chinese painting and modern art (no prior knowledge or training required) - one class for adults and one for students with 7th grade or higher. The initial idea is to have a maximum class capacity of 6 & minimum of 3 to open the class. Please find the attached PDF file for some artwork completed by the teacher. Please help us spread the news about the class and sign up for yourself or your child. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Instructor Bio Info:
Mrs. Sinrong Chen earned her B.A degree specializing in Chinese Painting in Taiwan. She is a resident of Westchester Co. and enjoys teaching art classes to her students. I have known Mrs. Chen personally for years and think our community can benefit a lot from her expertise in Chinese Art.
Time:
(1). Adult: 90 to 105 minutes from 9:00 AM ~ 10:30 (10:45) & parents will have a break during language break & attend to their children’s needs. Separate enrollment in Spring and Fall.
(2). Students: 11:00 to 12:00 - one enrollment in the Fall for the entire calendar year.
Tuition: course material included
(1). Adult: $350 + $50 material/ handling fee per semester.
(2). Students without language enrollment: same as (1)
(3). Students with language enrollment: covered in the language class (just pay extra handling/material fee $75 a year).
NWCS Spring ’22 – Newsletter, Week 2 (03/12/22)
ear NWCS Families,
It looks like we are going to have some wet weather Saturday morning. Teachers have been informed to communicate with students/parents if the class teacher would like to move from in-person to remote due to weather concerns in the afternoon. Please check email communication directly from the class teacher. Chinese school will be open for in-person sessions this weekend!
School Registration Record
There was a small technical issue with our school enrollment system before the semester started. Now, the system has been fixed and functioning properly. Please sign in and check if your child’s/children’s enrollment record(s) are correctly reflected in the system. Also, if any tuition balance is still outstanding, please take a moment to double check with Treasurer (Mrs. Grace Liu). Soon, we will start working on the financial planning for the new calendar year. Your help is much appreciated.
Some Events in Future Calendar
(1). Briarcliff Middle School is chosen to host NYSSMA music festival on the weekend of 4/2 & 4/3 & school building will not be available for Chinese School. We will conduct remote learning that weekend
(2). The annual ACS Conference will be held on 5/28 & 5/29 (Memorial Weekend) in-person in East Brunswick, NJ this year. There are several competitive events related to language and culture for students (different age groups) as well as seminars for teachers to participate. We will work with class teachers on nomination and organization. Application deadline is 4/17.
(3). The annual Chinese writing contest deadline is 4/15 – please see attached. Middle school to high school students are the age groups to participate.
Best Regards,
Rick Chan 詹文芳
NWCS Principal
