NCLS Weekly Newsletter 9-Oct-2014

Dear Parents:

We have no school this coming Sunday (Oct  12, 2014) due to Columbus Day. Wish everybody have a good weekend. The school will resume on Oct 19, 2014.

1. Fire Drill last Sunday:

This past Sunday, we successfully finished our annual fire drill. Thanks a lot to school admin team, PCC team and teachers/TAs  for all of your hard work. The whole building was emptied less than five minutes which meets the requirements of Newton fire department. However, there are a couple of  important things that need to be addressed during the exit process.   

1. After all people exited the building, the majority of people just stood near the building doors instead of walking far away from building. There were two classes stayed near the door exit 1. This was absolutely unacceptable. For all people who withdraw from Exit 1, you need to walk towards walnut street as quickly as possible.

2. The main entrance driveway is not clear. The majority of parents just stood on the main entrance (driveway) that will make other people difficult to move forward and even worse, the fire trucks will be difficult to get in.

The purpose of the fire drill is let everybody get familiar with the general emergence exit process, strengthen the urgent feeling, know where to go if something happens in the building. The safety of our community is always the school’s top priority.

2. Talent Show on 11/2:

On Nov 2, 2014, China support education program of NCLS will host talent show at school auditorium from 5:00 to 7:30 pm, if you have interest to attend, please click the following link to fill out the registraion form:
