NWCS 5TH WEEKLY EMAIL BRIEFINGS SPRING 2012

Dear All NWCS Fellow Members;

Dear All Parents, Teachers, and Students;

尊敬的各位家长、各位老师;

亲爱的同学们;

大家好!

1. 诚邀各位家长现场献计“共商国是”

《购买校舍的动议——致家长们的一封信》发出之后,一周以来,受到我校广大家长和教职员工的广泛关注,大家通过不同的方式表达了自己的观点。谢谢大家的支持!俗话说,好事多磨。越是备受关注,越要倍加认真。本着这个出发点,经多方协调,兹定于本周四(03/15/2012)晚六点半至九点半在西北中文学校的“准校舍”“现场”办公,恭候大家的光临。届时,大家可以在实地考察一番(至少可以实地感受一番,未必每间教室都可以看,力争如此吧。走马观花也好于纸上谈兵,对吧。),学校也将组织有关人员就如何充分利用现有资源、如何通过多渠道办学达到收支平衡等进行详细的讲解;之后,大家可以就此提出问题,发表高论,这是民主。最后,由校董事会在归纳大家意见和建议的基础上集中。集中了大家的智慧和意志,我们便可胸有成竹地进入实质阶段。能来,请您一定要来。详细地址:2315 & 2321 173RD AVE NE, REDMOND, WA 98052

OPEN-HOUSE DEMO——YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE ON-SITE HEARING THIS THURSDAY

After the dispatch of the LETTER from the Principal, the purchasing of classroom building becomes a hot topic among NWCS fellow members. Judging from the smiling faces and confident expressions of parents and teachers, we feel more encouraged to go further into details. To make sure all opinions within NWCS community are adequately heard and well taken, the BOARD, PTA & ADMIN are jointly to organize an OPEN-HOUSE DEMO at the property on Thursday, Match 15th, 2012, starting at 6:30PM. Soft drinks will be served. LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR PRESENCE.THANKS!

2. 请注意保持校内卫生整洁 PLEASE KEEP THE CAMPUS TIDY AND CLEAN

以往,我们提醒大家比较多的是:保持教室的整洁,却忽略了提醒大家注意公共洗手间的卫生。据反映,上周我校二楼的女生洗手间很脏,纸屑遍地,特此提醒大家。请家长嘱咐孩子:无论是在教室、大厅、楼道、楼梯、还是在洗手间,处处都要注意保持校内的清洁。重要的是让学生们在求学和成长的过程中养成良好的卫生习惯。
