T<\/strong>he first day of school is fast approaching. We would like to welcome you and your family back for another exciting year at our WCC campus. As in the past 16 years, we will continue our tradition of providing you with the best education in both Chinese language<\/span> <\/a>and culture<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

A new school year always brings changes. In addition to our experienced teachers, we are happy to announce that 14 new teachers will join us this fall. This will reinvigorate our teaching faculty and improve the quality of our language education.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the support of parents and teachers, class registration is going smoothly. Lower grades of MLP and some culture classes such as chess, SAT Math, Math Olympiad and Folk Dance are being filled to capacity. We urge you to register soon at the School’s On-Line Registration System<\/span> <\/a>to secure the class of your choice.<\/p>\n

Our 2nd<\/sup> Open House held last Sunday was a great success. Both new and returning parents participated with great enthusiasm. In addition to answering questions and helping with the registration, we also listened to the concerns and suggestions from parents and teachers. It was a great exchange of ideas and a display of friendship and solidarity.<\/p>\n

Our preparedness for the new school year is going well. WCC has been tremendous in their support for our effort. In the new school year, WCC will allow us access to their multi-media educational equipments, further enhancing our teaching quality.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, September 2nd<\/sup>, we are holding our first in-house teacher training session (Teacher Orientation Agenda<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a>) where all language teachers will be present to discuss teaching plans for the new school year. We invite all parents to come. Once again, we will try to answer all your questions and help you with on-site registration.<\/p>\n

We look forward to welcoming all of you back. Together, we will rebuild the Huaxia community where our children succeed and thrive.<\/p>\n
