中文学校每周简讯 - 10月2日

1．青少年义工团选举结果
华社青少年义工团上个星期天进行选举。因为只有一对候选人，Ryan Guo和Jeffrey Shen。所以他们自动当选。在这里我祝贺他们竞选连任成功，并希望他们再接再厉，把青少年义工团的工作上升一个台阶。

2．各班级家长代表
除去两个成人中文班，我们共有29个中文语言班。每个语言班，学校要求不论班级大小，必须推选一位家长代表，协助本班级老师工作，包括安排家长值日，作为家长会与家长之间的纽带，传递必需的信息等等。家长代表是学校管理当中核心的一部分，希望大家积极担任。作为家长代表，还可以免除学校PTA 值日，直接领取$20押金。

本期简讯到此。谢谢大家关注，星期天见！

中文学校校长2014-2016

CCC will be hosting a free flu shot this Sunday at school starting from 11AM in the morning till 3PM in the afternoon. Please refer to the attached flyer for more details.

I hope you have learnt a few things new from last week’s seminar on college planning and admission. Mrs. Rusak likes to thank you for coming, listening, and sharing your questions with her. I have attached her thank-you note below, and you can also find her contact inside if you have follow-up questions.

Registration process quickly drew to an end last week. We have roughly same enrollment as last year for two language curriculum classes combined (Chinese as Heritage Language and Chinese as Second Language).
For culture classes, however, there is a significant increase in enrollment, up by more than 30 students. Overall, we should have a healthy finance budget for this school year, a drastic contrast to the federal government spending that could lead to another shutdown again. That being said, I expect to have an ease time for the council meeting coming up on Oct. 18th, of which the primary topic is school budget and spending.

With that, I’d like to direct your attention to a few highlights of past and coming weeks:

1.      Youth Team Election Results
Since there was only one team, Ryan Guo and Jeffrey Shen, running for the election this year, they are elected by default. Still most of the youth team members cast their votes to show their support of incumbent candidates and acknowledged their contribution in organizing many volunteer events last year.

Please join me in congratulating Ryan and Jeffrey being elected to the leadership positions again. Parents of interested members, please have your child forward contact information to Ryan Guo at rguo98@gmail.com at your earliest convenience. Don’t miss the opportunity to work with your peers and help the needed.

2.      Classroom Home Parent
By now I hope every classroom has identified a home parent no matter the size of the classes. Home parents serve a few critical functions and share the responsibilities with teachers for classroom maintenance such that the teachers can focus on teaching and education. All the home parents should send their contact information to PTA chair Jian Xu (jxuonline@gmail.com). If your classroom has not found a home parent, please consider volunteer this role. And you will be exempt from PTA duty assignment. As we encourage our children to participate in the Youth Volunteer Team,
we can also act as a role model by participating in school duties.

See you this weekend.
