1．感谢您的到会——与新校长候选人面对面 THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENCE
AT THE OPEN HEARING: MEETING WITH NEW PRINCIPAL CANDIDATES
Well organized by NWCS Board, the Opening Hearing was very
successful with your presence, and with the great efforts of all three candidates. On
behalf of NWCS Admin, I hereby thank you all very much for your presence at the
Opening Hearing last Saturday. For those
who were unable to be present for one reason or another, we also thank you for
your complete trust.
对于我们学校的每一位成员而言，上周六（五月四日）都是个大日子，选校长的确是我校政治生活中的一件大事，事关学校的发展和未来的走向。在董事会的精心组织下，听证会进行的准时、有序、热烈、圆满。谢谢您莅临听证会现场！另一个角度，您的积极参与就是对我校董事们最诚挚的感谢，也是对每一位候选人最大的尊重。他们角逐校长这一角色的勇气、胆识和对我校的关怀着实令人钦佩，且不论他们当中的那一位能够幸运地胜出。敬请期待！
2．帮助学生学会理性睡眠HELP
STUDENTS GET RATIONAL AND ENOUGH SLEEP
抽查各班上课情况，发现个别同学犯困，懒洋洋的，听课时打不起精神来。究其原因，大多是因为晚上睡得较晚而没有获得足够的睡眠。一方面，现在正值“春乏夏困”的季节；另一方面，学生们正值身体发育的年龄段，本来就容易犯困；因此，足够的睡眠非常重要，是必需的。现代的孩子不是不懂得这些道理，而是太多的“诱惑”导致自我约束能力减弱：电视、网络、游戏、iPod、iTunes、SMART PHONE等等。高中各年级的学生还面着临升学考试的压力。因此，我们家长有责任帮助他们在学与玩之间合理分配时间以获得理性的、足够的睡眠。
3。课堂纪律与教学效果 CLASSROOM DISCIPLINE & TEACHING/LEARNING EFFECT
大家公认：高质量的教学效果离不开良好的课堂纪律，因为良好的课堂纪律可以为教师授课和学生听课创造一个安静愉悦的氛围和井然有序的环境，对教与学都是有益的。鉴于此，特别提醒我们的老师在备好课、讲好课的同时，也要想尽了办法鼓励学生聚精会神地听课，用娓娓动听的语言和表情吸引学生的注意力，必要时，可以用提问问题或劝导的方式唤起个别学生注意力。毕竟，课堂上学生的表现——他们听讲的认真程度——是学生学习习惯的重要体现，因此，我们必须把培养学生良好的学习习惯贯穿在日常的教学之中，低年级的学生尤甚。
Common
sense tells us that the teaching effect of high quality depends largely upon
the well-kept classroom discipline, which creates an effective, orderly and
quiet teaching/learning environment. Therefore, we hereby remind every teacher
that more attention should be given to working out ways to draw their
attention, to prevent them from distraction, so as to keep the students
well-disciplined. Classroom discipline is the reflection of a student’s common behavior in public and his studying habit, which is
of vital importance for the formation of the right one, from which one can
benefit for the entire life. As educators, we have to carry out this mission
throughout our normal teaching activities, especially the fifth graders or
younger. Only by this way, can we fulfill the task to keep our students on the
right track leading to their bright and successful future.
