亲爱的家长们、老师们，亲爱的同学们：
Dear NWCS
Fellow Members;
Dear All
Parents, Teachers and Students;
1. 谨此中秋佳节之际，衷心祝愿您和家人团圆美满，幸福安康。中秋节快乐！
HAPPY CHINESE MID-AUTUMN
FESTIVAL TO YOU ALL!
In 2013, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be on September 19. The Mid-Autumn
Festival (中秋节), also called the Chinese Moon Festival, is one of
the most important annual festivals for the Chinese people. Perhaps most
importantly, it is a day for family reunion. This lively festival takes place
on the 15th day of the 8th Chinese lunar month every year, so its exact date by
the Western calendar is different every year. Full of joy and happiness,
friends and loved ones gather to celebrate a time when the moon is at its
fullest and brightest of the whole year, and everyone gathers together to
delight in eating moon cakes and appreciating the spectacular beauty of the
full moon.
2. 需要退班或转班的家长，请您务必在本周六前来办理，因为从下周起将不再有转班手续和全额退款。
Online
registration has been closed, the admin desk will help those parents who want
to withdraw or switch classes. Please
NOTE: A 100% refund will only be
available during the first two weeks. And there will be NO class switching
after the first two weeks except by the principal’s approval.
3．仍未交纳学费的家长，也请您务必在本周完成, 否则从第四周开始将累计附加每周五美元的延迟费。
Tuition fee is due on the first day
of school. If you
have NOT paid the tuition by now, please do so on this coming Saturday
(09/21/2013) at the Admin Desk during school hours. Starting from the 4th week,
an additional $5.00/week late-fee will be charged to your account.
4. 老调重重弹：请各位家长、老师务必督促班上学生保持教室的整洁干净，不能将饮料、食物带入教室；千万千万不要乱动教室内的设施，尤其是NHS老师的办公桌。挪动过的桌椅一定要在离开前恢复到原来位置,下午下课的班级一定要把所有椅子摆放到桌上以方便打扫。
In the past
weekend we received Four Complaints （Room 2113,
1104, 1111, 2112）from NHS about our possibly
violating REGULATIONS FOR NHS CLASSROOM MAINTENANCE & MANAGEMENT. Here we
want to plead with all the teachers and parents again: please remind your
students not to touch anything in the classroom out of curiosity, especially
the things on the teachers’ desk. Stay away from the desk if possible. No food
and drinks in the classroom. If you have to move the tables (Chairs), please
return them to their original places. To those whose class ends in the
afternoon, please put the chairs on the table before you leave or when school
is over.
5. 减免学费申请仍然依照去年的办法实施。详情请见我校网站http://www.nwchinese.org/home.htm.
需要提醒的是：学费减免范围仅限于中文课程；所有申请人必须先如数交纳学费。申请批准后，学校再由专项经费中退还其学费。申请截止日期为九月二十八日。
