Dear Teachers：
The Fall 2015 semester is successfully over, and thanks a lot for all our teachers hard work. This coming Sunday, 1/31 will be the 1st school day of Spring 2016, hopefully, with all of your support, we will have another fruitful year.
-Classroom management
The classroom management has been a long time tough topic which we have been talking and emphasizing, but we still receive the complaint from Day Middle school teacher once a while. Please take a couple mins in the 1st spring semester class, repeat the rules to your class, the removal and touching the Day school room teacher’s teaching and personal belongings are not allowed.
-New class
应广大跳舞爱好者要求，牛顿中文学校国标舞高级班将于2016春季正式开课，网上注册现已开始。主讲老师由大波士顿地区著名舞蹈家张馨梅老师担任。这个班是为有一定国标舞基础的学生继续深造提高而设。 上课时间是每周日12：30－1：45PM。 这个班将详细解析每个动作的基本要领以及音乐、节奏的配合，使学生最大限度地掌握国标舞的特点，进一步提高舞蹈的水平，同时能够在社交舞场合发挥自如，提高学舞的兴趣。将要逐渐学习的舞种包括International Style的十种舞（华尔兹，探戈，狐步舞， 伦巴，恰恰恰，等）及一些American Style的舞。
-New Teacher Hiring Guidelines
With the development of NCLS, more and more parents and senior students have interest in join NCLS as teacher or TA. In order to make this process more formal and to create an equal opportunity to all applicants, NCLS board drafted and approved the new teacher hiring guidelines. Basically, all applicants have to submit the resume to school dean(xyc_lin@yahoo.com) for teacher’s position, and go through interview with teacher recruiting committee (Principal, Vice Principal and Dean). For entertainment class, the grade leader or senior teacher will be involved in interview process. After the trial class, the offer letter will be sent to applicant by principal. For TA application, please submit the application form to Tian Yi lao shi (yitianzh@hotmail.com).
As the current NCLS teacher, if you are going to leave school, please inform school admin (principal, vice principal and Dean) in person at least two weeks ahead of your departure date.

-Class Close Policy
Based on school policy, the minimum number of student to open a class is 6. At the end of registration, if the enrollment could not reach 6, the class will be closed. The teacher will be switched to either TA or to other class if the position available.
-Parking Permit
Due to very limited parking space, there are quite a few number of teachers, especially new teachers who don’t have parking permit, and school will subsidize $20 per semester to the teachers without parking permit.
