Dear All NWCS Fellow Members;
Dear All Parents, Teachers, and Students;
各位家长、各位老师；
亲爱的同学们；
大家好！
1．下周六无课 NO SCHOOL ON 11/12/2011
下周六，即十一月十二日, 因NHS ANNUAL“SKI SWAP”EVENT，为了避免人多车多给大家带来的停车难等诸多不便，我校特安排休息。有外出计划的家庭可早做安排；无特殊安排的，那就让孩子们放松放松，睡个懒觉。
TO AVOID POSSIBLE CONFLICTS SUCH AS PARKING, TRAFFIC, ETC., NWCS HAS NO SCHOOL NEXT SATURDAY (NOVEMBER 12th, 2011) DUE TO NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL SKI SWAP EVENT. YOU CAN PLAN AHEAD MAKING FULL USE OF THE RARE TWO-WHOLE-DAY WEEKENDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEMESTER, OR SIMPLY LET THE KIDS RELAX AND SLEEP IN. THANKS.
2. 年度中文活动会议 BRIEF MEETING ON ANNUAL ACTIVITIES OF ALL CHINESE CLASSES
时间过得好快啊！忙忙碌碌之中，眼看着一学期已经过半，本周六(11/05)冷静副校长将代表学校教学行政召集各中文班年级组长开个短会，主要是在了解交流各年级的教学情况的基础上商量本学年全校中文活动的安排、具体的时间、内容、形式等等。开会时间：11:10AM。地点：1112 教室。请届时参加。欢迎家长鉴言。
TIME FLIES! THIS SATURDAY AT 11:10AM, CLASSROOM 1112, ON BEHALF ON ADMIN, DEPUTY PRINCIPAL LENG JING IS TO HOLD A MEETING IN BRIEF WITH CLASS-LEADS OF ALL CHINESE LANGUAGE CLASSES TO DISCUSS AND PLAN AHEAD THE ACTIVITIES SUCH AS BASIC KNOWLEDGE CONTEST, STORY TELLING, AND POETRY RECITATION.PLEASE ATTEND IT ON TIME. PARENTS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US.
3．期中考试 MID-TERM EXAMS
大部分班级的期中考试安排在本周随堂进行，望家长按时把孩子送到学校。无论是数学，还是语文，亦或是其它艺术学科，与其看重考试分数，我们更重视基本功。考试仅是巩固知识的手段之一。应试教育是我们所尽力避免的。
MID-TERM EXAMS TAKE PLACE THIS SATURDAY. PARENTS: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SEND YOUR KIDS INTO THEIR CLASSROOMS IN TIME. EXAMINATIONS ARE JUST MEANS TO TEST AND REINFORCE THE KNOWLEDGE THEY HAVE LEARNED. EXAMINATION-ORIENTED EDUCATION IS THE ONE WE ARE TRYING TO AVIOD. OUR GOAL IS RATHER TO PREPARE ALL OUR STUDENTS TO BECOME HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE, LEADING US INTO THE BETTER FUTURE. FOR THEM TO THRIVE LONG TERM, WE AS EDUCATORS NEED TO CONSIDER THEIR HAPPINESS AND ACHIEVEMENT, AS WELL AS THE SKILLS THEY WILL NEED TO NAVIGATE AN INCRERASINGLY COMPLEX WORLD TOMORROW. WE WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO OVERCOME ADVERSITY AND VIEW CHALLENGES AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH AND INNOVATION. WE NEED THEM TO BE RESILIENT.
