Dear Teachers:<\/p>\n
We are approaching middle of the fall semster.\u00a0 In this week’s newsletter to parents, we have sent out all mid-term exam reviews for all Zhongwen classes.\u00a0 Please remind your students to print them out at home and bring to the reivew class.\u00a0 The school do not make copies for review materials.<\/p>\n
Here are some notes we have for you this week:<\/p>\n
I. False Fire Alarm:<\/p>\n
This past Sunday,\u00a0we had another false fire alarm incident which are believed to be done by one of our student.\u00a0 This is the second similar incident happened in less than two months. This has not only interrupted our normal school life, but will also cause monetary penalty to our school due to frequent false alarm, even worse situation, NCLS may be forced to move out of day school if similar things happen again and again. After talking to the Newton fire department on Sunday, we found out that someone pulled the fire alarm right outside room 210 on second floor, outside the gym. We hope all parents, students and all school staff pay more attention to avoid the similar things happen again.<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0 Please talk to your class again regarding the fire alarm and tell them not to touch any fire alarm at the school hallway and gym.\u00a0 If any one pull the alarm either by accident or intentionally without a true fire, the parent will bear the monetary penalty. If the student pull the alarm intentionally, the school may\u00a0discontinue his\/her\u00a0NCLS student status.<\/p>\n
2. To avoid any potential similar incident occur, All TAs must oversee the students who\u00a0go to restroom and count the numbers after the students come back. If not going to the restroom,\u00a0students must stay at classroom during break time. For all classes in gym, teachers need pay more attention to your students. We did noticed one alarm box opened by accident last Sunday.<\/p>\n
In the future, PCC will assign two parents on duty to watch the fire alarm on each floor to make sure no one touch the alarm. In the meantime, we will put a sign on top of the alarm to make sure people not to touch it without noticed fire.<\/p>\n
Thanks for your cooperation and patience\u00a0during the\u00a0fire evacuation. We noticed that people exited the building quickly and orderly.\u00a0 However, we noticed that there were still quite a lot of people standing close to the exit doors. Newton fire department warned us that for people who exited door 3, 4 and 5, no one should stand in the driveway or close to the building as it will block the fire engine. All should retreat to the sports field behind the building.<\/p>\n
II. Parent Forum<\/span><\/p>\n This coming Sunday, \u738b\u745e\u4e91\u8001\u5e08 and \u8d75\u8096\u4e1c\u8001\u5e08 will host a parent forum for k-3 grade parents.\u00a0 The topic is how to help kids learn Chinese at home.\u00a0\u00a0If you\u00a0are interested, please go to room 325 at 3:40 pm.<\/p>\n III.
