NWCS Weekly Newsletter – 9/24

Dear NWCS families,

Here we are going to Week 2. There are several things I’d like to share with you.

Registration
Feel free to update your kids’ registration and electives on the web site sis.nwcsny.orgby the end of Week 3, Saturday, Oct 1. We will freeze registration shortly after. Oct 1 is also the last day to withdraw with only book fee deducted. If you need help, please contact our registrar, Mr. Tony Wu, for assistance.

CSL Placement Adjustment
If your children spoke to you about the current level being too difficult or too easy, please let your teacher, Dean and myself know so we can reassess the placement right away. On one hand, we would like to see our children learning more effectively. On the other hand, we recognize they have bonded with their classmates from young and may not want to move to the next level without their friends. So teachers would like to hear from you what’s best for your kids. 

Parents
Please elect a class parent so we can better communicate and reflect the needs of your class. Class parents please contact each family in your class to make sure they are receiving emails from school. Class parents will also coordinate help with the Chinese New Year performance.  

Electives
We are continuing to search for Kung Fu and Chess teachers. If you know someone who are willing to teach at a fairly modest pay, please let me or Chairperson, Mr. Calvin Chin know. In the mean time, please encourage your children to explore other electives. 

Student Travel Journals
I’d like to invite our students who visited any Mandarin speaking cities during the summer to submit your travel journals for publication on our school web site. Please share with us your journal on the culture, people, food, and fun things you did.

Your principal,
Yuan-Chi Chang 張元極
