Dear NWCS Fellow Members;
Dear All Parents, Teachers and Students;
一、本周六（01/25/2014）我们主校大部分班级将会进行本学期的期末考试，请大家做好迎考准备并在考试时间准点到校。
Final
exams for most classes are
taking place on this Saturday（01/25/2014）. Parents: please help your children to
prepare for the exams and make sure to send them into their classrooms on time.
二、根据我们的校历安排（请参阅附件），下周六（2014年2月1日）将是本学期（主校）的最后一周，而西雅图分校由于没有受去年临时调课的影响将在本周六结束秋季学期学习。需要提醒大家的是新学期的第一天为2014年的2月8日，所以这次两学期之间没有间隔休息时间，请大家理解配合。
新学期注册已经开始，由于不断有新生要求加入，请大家抓紧时间报名，以免名额不够。我们鼓励所有返校学生采用快捷高效的网上注册付费。

According
to our school calendar, next Saturday (02/01) will be our last day of fall
semester and the first day of new spring semester will be February 8th.
So there is no break between two semesters this school year (main campus only). And the registration process for the new
spring semester has already started and you need to act quickly in order to
ensure a spot for your children in your desired classes. All returning
students are encouraged to register online (please see the link above).
三、如果您是第一次尝试网上注册，您的几乎所有的疑问将会在注册网页的链接上找到答案(https://www2.nwchinese.org/reg/help/Faq.htm)，而且你也可以直接发信到 support@nwchinese.org 得到帮助。
另外几点网上注册的注意事项：
1、如果您只是在网上注册了课程但还没有付费，请您务必记得打印出报名单，然后将支票和报告单钉在一起交到admin
desk。
2、这学期大部分的班级将不需要新的教科书，只有中文2A、2E、2D和5A、5E、5F需要购买新的教材（《马立平中文》第二册、第四册）; 另外Pre-School（《幼儿汉语》第二册）和Kindergarten（《幼儿汉语》第四册）各班级需要领取新教科书。当你完成注册付费，请别忘记打印出付费凭据前来admin
desk领取新书。
3、如果您在网上完成了注册程序（注册课程并付完学费），并且无需购买新的教材，您将无需前往admin
desk办理任何手续，可以直接继续下学期的学习。
If you are first-time users
of our online registration, you can
almost find all the answers to the questions you could have by opening the link
(https://www2.nwchinese.org/reg/help/Faq.htm), and you can also send
emails to support@nwchinese.org for problems, questions and
suggestions.
Here are some things we want
to emphasize about on-line registration:
1. If you have only
registered the classes but have not paid tuition online yet, please remember to
print out your registered class list and drop it off with your paycheck at
admin desk.
2. Most classes don’t need new textbook for the new semester except Pre-school
& Kindergarten classes need pick up new textbooks, and Chinese 2A, 2E, 2D
and 5A, 5E, 5F need to purchase new textbooks. Please remember to print out
your payment receipt and bring it to the admin desk to pick up the textbooks.
3. If you have
registered classes and paid tuition online, and don’t
need new textbooks, then you are all set for the new semester!
四、如果您想采用传统报名方式，您可以在周六到admin desk报名。为方便大家，您们可以在学校网站上查询到新学期的课程设置情况（与本学期相比没有大的变动）并且在家打印和填写好报名表(http://www.nwchinese.org/registration.jsp)。
If you prefer, you can do
onsite registration at admin desk starting this coming Saturday. For your
convenience you can print out and fill out registration forms from our school
website before you come to the desk (http://www.nwchinese.org/registration.jsp).
五、热烈祝贺我校傅白薇老师带领的少儿高级舞蹈队代表我校参加上周六由微软华协主办的2014春节晚会演出再次获得成功！她们表演的舞蹈“茉莉花”以优雅的舞姿和完美的配合赢得了观众的一致好评。让我们再次感谢傅白薇老师和少儿高级舞蹈队的学生和家长们用他们的辛勤汗水和奉献精神给大家带来如此精彩的表演并为学校争得荣誉！
