NCLS Weekly Newsletter 9/15/2011

 

Dear NCLS parents:

 While the first school day is always the most exciting day, it is also the most challenging one, with thousands of books being distributed and hundreds of families being registered. This past Sunday was no exception. Thanks to the hard work of our administration staffs and teachers, with helps from our board, PCC and many volunteers, the past Sunday went very smoothly. We want to thank all the people who worked on the preparation for the school opening and operation on Sunday. And also, we want to thank all the parents for your patience and cooperation.

 Below, we would like to share some of the pictures taken by our new school journal editor, Wei Tang, for a glance on our first day activities.

PCC members arrived school at 1:15 pm to get all textbooks ready

Textbooks are ready to be distributed

Admin members and volunteers are helping parents for registration

First school day

Following are the announcements for this week-

 1. Textbooks:

PCC will continue to distribute textbooks this coming Sunday. If you don’t have your textbook, please make sure to make your payment at library first and then use the stamped registration form to pickup your textbook. 

Due to the unexpected surge in registration of math classes, we currently run out of math workbooks for grade 4 and 5. We have already placed an emergency order to obtain additional work books. In case they don’t arrive this Sunday, the teachers for those classes will provide photocopies of the corresponding pages from the workbooks for those students who don’t their math workbook so they can finish their homeworks on time.

2. Registration:

If you need to work with the school administration on registration and/or tuiation related matters, please make sure to print the registration page in your account and bring it with you to school.
