NWCS Weekly Newsletter – 6/11
Dear NWCS families,
This is the last week for the 2015-2016 school year at NWCS. We have finals, trophies and picnic for everyone. Please remember to register and pay before July 4 to take advantage of the lower tuition rate. I am sad to report several beloved teachers, including Ms. Chang of 2A, Ms. Chuang of 2B, Ms. Lin of 3A, and Ms. Sugihara of 6B/7B, are either retiring or taking a break from teaching. I wish them all the best and would extend my invitation to join us at next January’s New Year celebration. Ms. Chang, Ms. Chuang, Ms. Lin, Ms. Sugihara, thank you for all the years of educating NWCS students. We will miss you!!
Trophies
Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Fang, our board member Francine’s parents, who traveled to Flushing to bring back the trophies. So here is how we would like to hand them out. At 9 am, I would like a class parent to stop by the cafeteria to pick up trophies and deliver to your class. The finals are held in the first hour. So beginning at 10 am, vice principal and I will visit the classes in parallel to hand out trophies. Classes will be dismissed by 10:30 so you can travel to the year-end picnic. The only exception from the above is our Pre-K and Kindergarten classes. We will hold their Move Up ceremonies and hand out trophies at 10:30 in the Middle School theater. We aim to wrap up and lock the doors by 11 am.
Registration is open
Please register online at https://sis.nwcsny.org. Our B-track teachers will recommend your children’s placement among the six levels of the Chinese as a Second Language curriculum. You can find the description of the new curriculum here at http://www.nwcsny.org/?p=
Year-end celebration picnic
Starting at 11 am, Kay, Vivian and our wonderful breakfast club will hold the biggest catering operation in NWCS history at the FDR State Park in Yorktown Heights. The travel time from Briarcliff is about 20 mins. Our spot is 5A. There is a $8 per car fee to enter the park. The map can be found here http://nysparks.com/
Donations to our school
We would like to thank the Roc-Sennett family for their generous donation to the school. Their donation, along with other donors’ and various fund raising events, gave us the financial freedom to give out scholarships, prizes and trophies. Many thanks to all who contributed in one way or another to foster and strengthen the community. Let us keep working toward our goal to give our kids the best Chinese learning experience.
With that, I would like to close by thanking your support. Wish you and your family a nice summer. Don’t forget to work on the summer assignments. See you in September.
Your Principal,
Yuan-Chi Chang 張元極
