Dear Parents:

What a smooth and successful first school day! With the full support from NCLS admin staff, PCC team, Board as well as all teachers and parents, we successfully passed the 1st busy and exciting school day.   We wish this be a good start for 2015 – 2016 school year.

So far, there are more than 1300 students registered as NCLS student this school year. Due to such a large number of students, we are trying our best to make NCLS a safe, enjoyable and quality learning environment for our students. In order to achieve this goal, your support and cooperation will be very important. With your full support, hope we will have another successful year.

Attention: The registration is on and extended to 10/12/2015. 

Based on various feedback from teachers and on-duty PCC members, there are a few things that need to be re-emphasized:

1.  School parking:

• Only vehicles with NCLS parking permits can enter Minot Place, no other vehicles  can enter Minot Place during the school time, which is defined as 12:00 pm to 5 :30 pm.  There will be PCC parents on duty guarding and monitoring the entrance to Minot Place  from 12:30 – 5:30 to reinforce the above procedures.

2.  Drop-off, Pickup, Parking:

• Since Day school has very limited parking space surrounding the main building, NCLS offer parking tag only for teachers and admin staff, if you don’t have a school parking tag, please don’t enter Minot Place.  To avoid any potential traffic jam at the entrance to Minot Place, please don’t drop off students at the entrance to Minot Place.
• The designated drop-off and pick-up area will be the Albermarle Road parking area behind the school field. Students and parents can walk across the field to the school. Another big parking lot that is closed to Day school is Newton School Department’s parking lot on Crafts Street. If you drive onto Walnut Street, then take left turn to Linwood Ave if you are from North, take right turn to Linwood Ave if you are from south, then take your next right turn to Crafts St., the parking lot is little down the road on your right. It will take around 5 mins walking to Day school building. If you are going to park along the street, make sure your car won’t block the residents driveway. If you want find the legal parking lots, please visit the following website:           http://www.newtonchineseschool.org/direction.php

3. Parking Complaints  and warning:

We did receive parking complaints from local residents the 1st school day,  the specific street is Albermarle Road. This is very serious problem. If this kind of cases happened again, your car will be towed if your is too closed the driveway.

4.  Classroom: 

Please confirm your classroom number again from your personal account before you come and drop off your kid at classroom. The classroom teacher will count the name of whole class. If your kid is not on the list, he/she will be sent to library and you will have responsibility to help her/him to find the right classroom. Anyone without registration is not allowed to sit in the classroom.

All students have to follow the classroom rule, respect teacher and TA. Touch and removal of the day school materials are not allowed.

Please note that students should not enter the classroom if you arrive early, please stay at the cafeteria.

nts shouldn’t enter the classroom no earlier than 1:45 pm, as this is the  arrival time for our teachers and teaching assistants.  If you arrive the school before 1:45pm, please stay at the cafeteria until then.  If you notice that no teacher or TA at the classroom after 1:45pm.  For the 3rd class, from 3:40 – 5:00 pm. Students should enter the classroom after the previous class is over. Our classroom management policy requires that students need to be attended while in the classroom.

5. Book distribution

Thanks a lot for PCC hard work, almost all students already received their textbooks.

– For kindergarten students only, we will send the book to the classroom, so teachers will distribute the book in the class.

– For all other students, please pick up the book in the library. In order to get the book quickly and avoid long waiting line, please print the book pickup slip at home and bring the book pickup slip to book distribution desk.  You can follow the link below to print out the pickup slip by yourself at home: https://www.newtonchineseschool.org/registration/BookPickupReturn.htm

If you have any registration related questions, please stop by our desk at the library.

6. Car pool

The heavy traffic during Sunday school time caused significant inconvenience to the local communities, in order to minimize this impact, we encourage  parents car pool to school, we believe your support will play significant role.

1 Seminar

Date: Sep 20, 2015

Time: 3:45pm to 5:00pm

Place: Room #227

Speaker: Jing Wang, CLU®, MS

Title of the topic: Give a Child you love a Unique Gift

Short introduction of topic:

For many, the American Dream means that each generation will do better than the last. You can help fulfill that dream by giving your child a financial leg up with a permanent cash value life insurance policy which can be designed to help them pay for college, buy their first home, or start planning for their retirement – even before they start working. While gifts of toys and clothes are quickly outgrown, a whole life policy grows as your grandchild grows, giving them a head start towards a successful financial future. Welcome to the workshop to see how great the gift is for your child. The workshop will be held in Chinese.

Short introduction of speaker:

Since 2003, Jing has provided customized solutions to clients in the area of personal planning, business succession, retirement and estate planning, asset management1 as well as other personal or business financial needs. She helps the clients to crystallize the financial objectives and assists them in implementing a plan to accomplish those by advising them on asset protection, retirement income, legacy transfer, as well as the business succession challenges faced by family-owned business and professionals, who demand a high level of dedicated and specialized personal attention and services.

2. 波士顿2015年《黄河大合唱》

2015年十月十一日波士顿千人黄河大合唱

今年是中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利70周年。为纪念这一重大历史性的胜利，纪念正义战胜邪恶，光明驱散黑暗，全世界各地的华人同胞和团体纷纷举行各种庆祝活动和音乐会，中国政府更于9月3日在北京举行了声势浩大，世人瞩目的阅兵仪式，昭示自由正义于天下，捍卫来之不易的和平与发展。

我们波士顿的华人当然不会落后。乔万钧领导的北美合唱协会隆重推出北美史无前例的千人黄河大合唱（10月11日晚7：30，波士顿大学体育馆Boston University Agganis Arena）！1000余演员来自美国和加拿大的20个华人合唱团和其它艺术团体及个人，届时有200人交响乐团伴奏，6000名观众到场观看助威！我们要用歌声缅怀先烈，弘扬正义，讴歌世界和平！

以团长刘希纯为首的波士顿东方之声合唱团（即牛顿中文学校合唱团）和吴晔率领的牛顿中文学校成人交谊舞班全力加盟此次千人黄河合唱盛会，倾情贡献我们的一份力量和热情！

牛顿中文学校是一个华人社区大家庭，也是我们中文学校合唱团的大本营，黄河大合唱需要社区每一个成员的全力支持和参与！如果你对下述事项感兴趣，请联系东方之声合唱团（即牛顿中文学校合唱团）团长刘希纯：charliexliu@gmail.com，合唱团网站：http://www.behc-chorus.org/

1）    捐助 – 大合唱组委会需要财政支援！这次千人黄河大合唱完全是民间发起的爱国演出活动，没有任何商业目的，所有募捐和门票收入全部用于支付BU体育馆租金。在此恳请并呼吁各界人士解囊相助，慷慨支援！几百不多，几元不少，票价$20，朋友们量力而行。当年抗战那样的艰苦卓绝都过来了，还有什么困难我们不能共同克服的呢？！

2）    参与 – 朋友，只要你能发声，只要你爱中华民族，爱和平，你就够格参加本次千人黄河大合唱！或许你善长弦乐，铜管乐，你可以来加入黄河交响乐团，演奏出最动人的旋律，为世界和平做出一份贡献！

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to school. This Sunday (9/13) will be  the  first day of school.  Here are a few very important notes and reminders for all of  you:

1. Traffic and Parking:

Since large volume of traffic will be entering Day school, it will be busy  and exciting day for all of us.  Therefore,  to avoid any chaos and maintain the good order and our student’s safety will become  the top priority. In order to achieve this goal,  it will be very important to follow the school rule, especially to follow the traffic control and parking guidance.  If you are new students family and not sure about the school direction or parking place,  please visit the following link  and  check where you can park. website:   https://www.newtonchineseschool.org/direction.php

Here are two important points:

• Since Day school has very limited parking space surrounding the main building, NCLS offer parking tag only for teachers and admin staff, if you don’t have a school parking tag, please don’t enter Minot Place.  To avoid any potential traffic jam at the entrance to Minot Place, please don’t drop off students at the entrance to Minot Place.
• The designated drop-off and pick-up area will be the Albermarle Road parking area behind the school field. Students and parents can walk across the field to the school. Another big parking lot that is closed to Day school is Newton School Department’s parking lot on Crafts Street. If you drive onto Walnut Street, then take left turn to Linwood Ave if you are from North, take right turn to Linwood Ave if you are from south, then take your next right turn to Crafts St., the parking lot is little down the road on your right. It will take around 5 mins walking to Day school building. If you are going to park along the street, make sure your car won’t block the residents driveway.

2. Entering Classroom Time

It’s very important for all of parents to check what is your kids classroom number. We also will put the classrooms list at the entrance of building.

From this coming new school year, NCLS will have three time slots, the 1st class will be from 12:30 – 1:45 pm, Students should enter the classroom no earlier than 12:15 pm. For the 2nd class, from 2:00 – 3:30 pm, the majority Chinese classes are in this slot,  students shouldn’t enter the classroom no earlier than 1:45 pm, as this is the  arrival time for our teachers and teaching assistants.  If you arrive the school before 1:45pm, please stay at the cafeteria until then.  If you notice that no teacher or TA at the classroom after 1:45pm.  For the 3rd class, from 3:40 – 5:00 pm. Students should enter the classroom after the previous class is over. Our classroom management policy requires that students need to be attended while in the classroom.

3. Classroom management

Under the agreement between Day school and NCLS, all teaching materials that belong to Day school, NCLS students are not allowed to use. All chairs have to be put back to original position after the class. All computers and books in Library are not allowed to use.

4. Book distribution

If you have paid your tuition but have not gotten the textbook, you will receive the book on first day.  Here is the procedure:

– For kindergarten students only, we will send the book to the classroom, so teachers will distribute the book in the class.

– For all other students, please pick up the book in the library. In order to get the book quickly and avoid long waiting line, please print the book pickup slip at home and bring the book pickup slip to book distribution desk. After PCC scanned your slip, you will get the book.  You can follow the link below to print out the pickup slip by yourself at home: https://www.newtonchineseschool.org/registration/BookPickupReturn.htm

Please remember to check your classroom in the system before you come to school.  We have recently switched some classrooms, so the classroom number may change since the last time you checked.  If you have any registration related questions, please stop by our desk at the library.

5. 1st day class

Generally, on the 1st day of school year, all class teachers welcome parents to sit in the classroom. The teachers will give a brief introduction of her/his class, and  what goal will be achieved at the end of semester, etc.

6. Registration

-Support Education

Led by NCLS teachers, Nan Liang and Weidong Li, the group of 15 students went to Cuozhen, Hefei, Anhui province during this spring break. They had very successful one week exchange activities there.

The student volunteer group formed in September last year. Students participated a series of fund-raising activities which organized by NCLS Support China Education Working Group. With the support of the whole school, parents, Tan’s Education Foundation, and the Boston community, they achieved very good results. The donations have passed to Cuozhen high school, which will help 21 economically disadvantaged students there to finish their high school education.

Please check the i-movie made by team student Helen Dong for the group activities (fundraising and student training) before the trip. The yutube link is – http://youtu.be/iMxNeipGSkU

We will hold a school wide presentation from 3:45pm – 5pm on Sunday, June 7. China trip team students will share their story with you. All parents and students are welcome.

-Support Education

Led by NCLS teachers, Nan Liang and Weidong Li, the group of 15 students went to Cuozhen, Hefei, Anhui province during this spring break. They had very successful one week exchange activities there.

The student volunteer group formed in September last year. Students participated a series of fund-raising activities which organized by NCLS Support China Education Working Group. With the support of the whole school, parents, Tan’s Education Foundation, and the Boston community, they achieved very good results. The donations have passed to Cuozhen high school, which will help 21 economically disadvantaged students there to finish their high school education.

Please check the i-movie made by team student Helen Dong for the group activities (fundraising and student training) before the trip. The yutube link is – http://youtu.be/iMxNeipGSkU

We will hold a school wide presentation from 3:45pm – 5pm on Sunday, June 7. China trip team students will share their story with you. All parents and students are welcome.

Dear Parents:

– NewtonServes Day is this Sunday 5/3!

This coming Sunday 5/3, Day school will start NewtonServes from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.  Same as previous years,  NCLS will partner with Day School and participate this meaningful community service event. Community members gather together at the school to complete projects for the school.  If you and/or your kids are interested to participate, please go to the cafeteria to sign up first on Sunday.  You can join any time.  We hope to see you there.

Below are some project ideas:

1. Rake up leaves/debris outside.

2. Clean up all the trash outside, especially trash that is technically off school grounds and on park grounds.

3. Mulch bushes.

4. Wash inside and outside of 1st floor windows.

5. Clear out the book room.

6. Clean up and prepare the courtyard plants for spring.

7. Post current maps of building (clearly indicating “You are here”) near stairwells and at major corners of building, on each floor.

8. Hide away construction materials/junk/debris under the archways on exterior of building near gym.

9. Dig out and level the long jump pit used for track and field. The wooden board is overgrown and nearly buried.  It needs to be dug out and raised and level.  The landing area needs to stretch out as a wide rectangle starting from the edge of the board.  The sand pit should be leveled.

10. Tighten the hurdles’ bolts.  They’re in the stairwell near the boys’ locker room.

11. Sand and paint 4 book cases in room 227.

Please consider participating and showing our NCLS spirit!   More hands make ligher work.  You can join the work at any time and stay as long as you wish.  It will be great if you can bring your yard tools, such as rake, etc. We hope to see many NCLS families at NewtonServes.

        讲座时间：文诚中文学校5月3日9:45AM－10:45AM。

地址：154 Horn Pond Brook Road Winchester, MA 01890

      “50倍速快乐学习法+300遍扫描记忆法”由翰林院夏令营MAVERICK  BIAN院长于20年前创立。在教学中采用1对1精英私教提高学生注意力3倍以上，运用300遍复习扫描记忆法，帮助学生在学习中不断筛选并攻克各个知识弱点和认知规律，从而在短期快速形成知识的长久记忆。翰林院在教学中采用自创的ISO教学管理流程生产线，编组形成群体压力，将传统的灌输式教学变为学生内在的自激励学习。8周的夏令营学一半玩一半，英文单词量爆增10，000以上，10岁儿童轻松掌握高中课程，12岁儿童知识达到大学水平，所有参加夏令营的学生的知识普遍可以提高学业二三个年级。凡5到7年級學生通過3期夏令營可直通所有重點高中；8到11年級學生通過4期夏令營即可滿足常春藤高校GPA、AP課高分要求，並幫你孩子SAT衝刺2,300分！

知识的超前使孩子变得更加自信，每年可以为孩子节省出几百个小时用于其他方面的学习和娱乐。如2014年夏令营中的8岁小移民杰西卡原本英语基础很差，在班级内成绩垫底，但经翰林院8周培训再回到学校后，就用英语将一千多人的四五六三个年级所有美国本土学生全部打败，获得康州公立学校Spelling Bee、Social Studies和数学等所有冠军，被学校封为皇后，最近又在哈佛评测中夺冠，目前杰西卡的知识面已突破到了十年级的水平。。

       本次讲座由卞院长亲自主讲，着重讲解大脑认知结构、学习的革命、语言处理能力与速度、数学运算能力与速度、知识面的广度与深度、藤校一对一精英私教，以及10岁儿童轻松攻克代数，超前学到大学知识和翰林院夏令营QA/QC人人得A考95%的方法等等。

      欢迎6－16岁家长带孩子参加。

      告别提示：目前翰林院在纽约的1380电台上开通了观众热线节目讲座，从周一到周五下午5点到6点卞院长在线为听众讲课答疑，想了解更多信息的家长可上电台网站上直接听讲座，或打电话：917－979－3919咨询。
