– In school Chinese New Year Performance this Sunday 2/7
NCLS EC and PCC will host Chinese New Year Performance at Day school auditorium at the 2nd floor starting from 2:00 pm this Sunday. If your class is going to perform, please cooperate with PCC and lead your class or grade to the auditorium on time. The classes without performance still follow the normal schedule.
-Day School Library and classroom Issues
I would like to circulate the latest email (see below) received from Day Middle school regarding to some library issues they found. Please send this message to your class parents, don’t leave any newspapers and water bottles at library, cafeteria, classrooms, gym and other public places.
‘I’d like to ask your cooperation in keeping the Day library neat. This morning I had to spend at least 20 minutes moving furniture back in to place and throwing out Chinese newspapers and water bottles, time I would rather have spent working with my students.
Please make sure to leave the furniture in the same arrangement you find it in, and ask your parents to clean up after themselves.’
In addition to the library issue we received last Sunday, we have received several complaining emails from Day School teachers regarding to removing the classroom materials and not putting desks and chairs into original position. NCLS admin and board took these cases very seriously. If we do not follow the classroom maintenance rules, our classrooms will be taken away. Please keep reminding your class to help maintain the classroom condition.
