Dear Teachers:
This coming Sunday our regular Zhongwen class will have mid-term exam. We, the principals, want to utilize this time to have a Principal Open House for teachers who can step out for a few minutes during the exam time. We know that each Sunday our teachers are so busy that they may not have time to talk with us for their thoughts. This is an opportunity to do so. We will be at classroom #203 during the first class period. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please drop by and meet us. This is not a mandatory meeting, but rather an open communication channel we set up for teachers to let us know how things are going. We will have such open communication forum periodically during the school year.
In addition, a few notes and reminders for teachers:
1. End of Daylight Savings: This coming Sunday 11/3 is the end of Daylight Savings. Please turn your clock back for an hour, which means we have one more hour for sleeping – wonderful.
2. The storage room in the library: please do not store your personal stuff there. NCLS only uses the two shelves in the far end of the storage room. It’s getting very crowded.
3. Reissued Checks: As a result of our financial review, we reissued some checks which were issued before 12/31/02 and had never been cleared. Some teachers received these reissued checks and were confused. This is not an error. If you have questions regarding your pay, please contact us at any time.
4. Dictionary: The school bought some dictionaries (汉英双解新华字典）which you can borrow for your teaching. You can sign out the dictionary for a whole school year. Please ask Ling Zheng if you want to borrow it.
5. Talent Show: The talent show, which is one of the fund raising event for our Support China Education Program, is on this coming Sunday from 4-7pm in the second floor auditorium. Some of your students may perform in this show for a good cause. If you get a chance, please come and cheer for them.
Last but not least, our Thanksgiving Party is coming up on November 23 Saturday from 7pm to 11pm at ACAS Center in Woburn. Please see the details in the flyer: http://www.newtonchineseschool.org/principal/ThanksgivingPartyflyerfinal.pdf
We hope you can join us to celebrate this wonderful holiday.
Thanks and see you all on Sunday.
Guangsong and Ling
