各位家长，

由于今年特殊情况，2020-2021学年中文学校进行网课，不能在校内售书。故今年的售书安排调整为：线上购书、线下取书。

目前中文学校与华社合作，在华社网站上开通了线上购书。

  *对于一周后（8月10日以后）购书的家庭，学校将本着先购先得的原则，直到所有课本售罄。

*****为确保在开学前能取到课本，请各位家长务必在网购开通一周内购买课本。也请需要注册课程的家长尽快登录中文学校网站完成注册。*****

网上购书流程：

1. 登录华社网站https://cccalbany.org

7. 接下来是Billing and shipping information。请务必在Comments里填上您的Family ID以方便学校在取书时能快速找到您的记录。

***请大家务必在Comments里填上您的中文学校Family ID 以方便学校在取书时能快速找到您的记录***
