*** Online Class Etiquette
Dear NWCS Families,
It looks like it’s going to be the new norm for students attending online classes for a lot longer during this uncertain period. To align online study practice with the public school system, I’d like to use this opportunity to outline some class etiquette for our students to follow when attending classes from home. Your help from home to reinforce the following is greatly appreciated.
1). Classes will start at 9:00 AM. Please log on to ZOOM or Google Meet a few minutes before class.
2). Although studying from home, the dress code is informal but no pajamas.
3). No learning from his/her own bed. Each student should have his/her own quiet studying area so there is little interruption especially external sound from the house.
4). No food when class in session. Please arrange kids’ breakfast before class starts.
5). Please show respect to class teachers and fellow classmates.
I will make some class visits and observe learning as well as teaching each week to make sure our students absorb and enjoy online learning format. If you or your child(ren) have any suggestions, please feel free to contact me. We will try our best to adress.
Keep safe and well!
Best Regards,
Rick Chan 詹文芳

Communication about safe, healthy learning
Dear NWCS Families,
As we plan to open our spring semester this weekend, I’d like to share with everyone on the latest communication from our hosting school district about coronavirus outbreak. Please take a few moments to read through the information.
On the separate front, we have received delivery of hand sanitization products. Each class will have hygiene products make sure a safe healthy learning environment. If any flu sickness related, please follow public school guidelines to keep your child(ren) home, so as adults. Starting this week, upon entering into Chinese school front entrance, there will be hand sanitizer for use – same at the school cafeteria.
If there is any further notice or development from local school district or health department, I will communicate promptly. Last week, we had a few parents take the test run for online remote learning and went smoothly. We will keep this alternative option open if the situation is deemed necessary.
Best Regards,
