   四月二日和四月九日，耶鲁大学的中级中文班学生将在耶鲁中文教学部的指导下，与南康中文学校合作，以促进中文学习和中国文化传播。此项活动初次试行，并以交流互动形式为主。

   • 第一类活动是采访家长。耶鲁学生将在南康中文学校随机采访愿意合作的家长，以理解他们是怎样在西方文化氛围中维持和传播中国传统文化的。耶鲁学生不会问及采访者的名字，身份及其他个人信息。所采访内容只作为完成学校课业用途， 不会被在任何其他地方透露，发表或使用。耶鲁学生可能会征求您的同意， 让他们录音采访内容， 因为他们担心中文水平不够， 所记得笔记不能使他们回去后完成报告。请给予耶鲁学生合作，支持和鼓励！
   
   
   • 第二项活动是由耶鲁学生和南康中文学校的SIF中文学习社团以及非华裔班的学生互动，为他们设计和主持有趣的学中文活动， 以鼓励低龄的非华裔学生产生更大的学习兴趣。
   
   
   • 通过这个合作项目，我们希望学校对周边社区和中文爱好者提供更多了解中国文化和南康中文学校的机会。

[SCCS]3/31/17:Short Course: History of Chinese in America, Talk on Tax; and Students from Yale U will visit

Dear all,

We will have three activities to announce in this e-mail. Please be patient to read them all.

• Short free course of the History of Chinese in America, starting this Sunday, still has 3 openings.
• Talk on Tax, 1:40-3:10pm, C010, Sunday
• Students from Yale University will come to visit SCCS.

1. Short free course of the History of Chinese in America. The seminar by Julia Wang last week on the history of Chinese in America was a big success. Now Julia will have a 6-week short course on the same topic. The details were listed in the top of this e-mail. If you want to sign up your child, please do so ASAP. The course will start this Sunday and lasts 6 weeks. Good for the students middle school and above.


2. Income Tax 101 by Helen Bi & Julia Zhai
   

   Helen works in the tax team of a multinational corporation & worked in public accounting firms for several years. She has rich experiences in corporate, pass-through, & individual taxes.
   Julia works in a tax law firm specialized in international taxation as Director of tax & accounting. She has years of experience in tax planning & international taxation.
   Time: April 2, 1:40-3:10, C010

   Agenda:
   
   • - Principles of US Income Taxes
   • - Basics of Individual Taxation
   • - Tax-related Documents & Forms
   • - Common Misunderstandings
   • - Tax Planning
   • - Q&A


3. Students from Yale University will visit SCCS.
   

   On April 2 and April 9, a group of Yale students who are currently taking intermediate Chinese course with the Yale Chinese Language Program will visit Southern Connecticut Chinese School for promoting Chinese learning mutually. The Yale students will conduct two types of activities at SCCS.

   • - The first activity is interviews with SCCS parents. Yale students will find the parents who are willing to talk to them for some Chinese culture related questions. This will help both parties to comprehend impact of Chinese culture to daily American life of ordinary people, both Chinese and non-Chinese. The students won’t ask your name, identification or any personal information. Furthermore, all of your answers won’t be disclosed, used, or published anywhere. The students only need the information they collect to finish a Yale project in their class. Please be aware that the students may ask you for the permission of recording the interviews, since they are afraid that they cannot capture everything for the later project report due to their Chinese level. Please show your support and encouragement by talking to them.
   • -The second activity is an interaction between Yale students and SCCS non-heritage students. Yale students will design and lead activities with the non-heritage students who are participating SIF Chinese Learning Program or who are taking Chinese classes. It would be fun and encouraging, which stimulate passion of Chinese learning by learners who have no Chinese origin.
   
   
   • - By deploying this co-program, we hope that we make more effort to reach the community around Great New Haven, and provide opportunities for SCCS members, especially our students, to understand other Chinese language learners.

Should you have any question, feel free to contact me directly.

作为生活在美国的华人，你和你的孩子对美国华人的历史了解吗？了解这样的历史，对你的孩子的身份认同有什么影响？华人的历史对我们有什么启示？对你孩子的未来有什么样的借鉴作用？本周日耶鲁大学法学院的王畅女士和纽约华人博物馆的工作人员，将和你一起就上面的问题进行探讨。

主讲人：耶鲁法学院　王畅
时间：2:30-3:30 Sunday
地点：C010

王畅简历：耶鲁大学法学院３年级学生，哈佛大学本科毕业后作为盖茨学者获剑桥大学硕士，专门研究美国和中国历史，发表多篇关于中国、移民的文章，去年八月份发表在《大西洋月刊》上题为The Burden of Being Asian American on Campus一文，很值得家有ABC的家长读一读。https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/08/common-ancestry-complicated-present/495665/

【免费课程】王畅女士计划为中文学校的中高年级的同学免费开设一门试验性的专题课程，专门讨论美国华人的历史及启示，和同学们一起探讨新一代华人的身份认同及历史使命，她去年在耶鲁为本科生开设过类似的课程，来到耶鲁之前，也在芝加哥给六、七年级的学生开设过试验班，反响非常好。本周日的讲座，她将同时谈谈这门课的总体设计和计划，有兴趣的家长不要错过这次机会。

小店开放

感谢PTA及众多热心义工，本周日小店开放，欢迎小朋友前往选购。

[SCCS]3/4/2017:HSK/YCT考试、会员大会等等

各位南康中文学校的会员：

会员大会
明天中文学校将召开会员大会，补选一名理事，详情请参考理事长童戟先生前几天的通知。更多的家长关心学校的事务并参与其中，才是这个学校健康发展的基础，让我们共同努力，为我们的孩子打造一个健康的学习环境。

HSK和YCT考试
学校今年4月23日将继续组织５年级的同学参加YCT考试以及８年级的同学参加HSK４级考试，详情已经由各个班级的任课老师向家长通知。有关YCT及HSK考试的情况可以参见：http://www.chinesetest.cn/gosign.do?lid=0

认字比赛
学校将继续组织认字比赛，但组织方式将会有所改变，主要改变如下：认字比赛将在秋季开学后举行，主要是希望同学能利用暑假时间复习巩固学习过的字词；考虑到不同年级词汇量要求不同，比赛将在同年级同学之间比赛，不搞全校性不同年级之间的比赛；最后的tiebreak字词范围就低不就高，比如５年级的同学除了要掌握５年级的字词外，还要掌握从１年级到４年级应该掌握的字词，但不要求掌握６年级的字词；奖励也会缩小不同名次之间的差距，鼓励所有同学参加。详细情况请留意学校的通知。

才艺表演
考虑到春节晚会主要集中在班级节目，班级以外能够登台演出的同学毕竟是少数，学校考虑在四月底、五月初举办才艺表演，提供舞台让感兴趣的同学展示才艺，详细情况也请留意学校的进一步通知。

纽海文交响乐团演出票
预订了纽海文交响乐团４月６日演出票的会员，请在星期天到办公室领取。（由于座位已经划分好了，大人小孩都需凭票入场，请没有预订小孩票的家庭给我发e-mail通报，以便预留票）。

夏令营
有家长询问今年夏令营的事，学校夏令营从2008年暑假开始，一直深受家长和同学的欢迎，也解决了八月份没有地方送孩子的问题，今年学校还将继续组织夏令营，具体安排还在讨论，欢迎老师家长报名参加夏令营的筹备和组织。

星期天见。

[[SCCS]3/4/2017:HSK/YCT test and general member meeting

Dear SCCS Members,

General member meeting The school will have a special general member meeting tomorrow to elect one board director. You can refer to the e-mail sent by Mr. Ji Tong, the Board Chair, several days ago. To build a healthy environment for our children and a strong Chinese school needs all your involvement.

HSK&YCT tests We will continue to administrate HSK test for 8th graders and YCT test for 5th graders. All students in these two grades were informed by their teachers directly. If you want to learn more about two tests, please visit their website: http://www.chinesetest.cn/gosign.do?lid=0

Spelling Bee
We will have our spelling bee in September or October to encourage our students to review vocabulary during summer break. There are several changes: the competition will be held among students at the same grade; the words for tiebreak will be within lower levels not high levels which also encourage students to review all words they learned before; the gap of prizes will be narrower but range will broader to encourage more students to participate.

Talent show
We realized that the Chinese New Year Gala has limited spaces for individuals or small groups other than the same class or grade. We are planning to have a talent show in late April or early May. The school will provide stages for these students who want to show their talents. More details will be followed.

Tickets for Pianist Daniel Hsu by New Haven Symphony
If you reserved the tickets for Pianist Daniel Hsu by New Haven Symphony in Woolsey Hall on April 6, please stop by the office this Sunday to pick up tickets. Since the seat is marked in each ticket, both adults and children need tickets. If you only reserved tickets for adults and need tickets for children, please e-mail me to reserve tickets for children.

Summer camp

Some parents have been asking the status of our summer camp. From the summer of 2008, our summer camp has become an alternative choice for many parents who want their children to expose to Chinese culture but cannot travel to China. We will continue our summer camp in August. If you are interested in serving in the summer camp including preparation, please contact us.

See you tomorrow.

Parents can purchase points from school office. The limit per family per school year is 100 points ($15). The incoming will be used to support the school store and the cost of printing the points.

As the sun rises on the Year of the Rooster, Lunarfest 2017 promises to be a celebration like no other! The Yale-China Association, the Council on East Asian Studies, and the New Haven Museum have teamed up yet again to bring Chinese culture and tradition to the streets of New Haven in one spectacular event to be held on Saturday, February 4th. This year, the focus will be on the various subcultures, regions, and identities woven through China's diverse lands. We welcome as many people as possible to attend.

We are seeking volunteers to ensure the best Lunarfest possible. High school students, college students, and community members are eligible. Volunteers can immerse themselves in the festivities while assisting staff to run the parade, lead arts & crafts tables, and direct visitors.

南康中文学校2016年10月23日通知

南康中文学校的家长，

你们好！

今天是南康大学开放日，中文学校不上课。

和大家通报一下每个家庭的账面清理情况。在学校财务同事和IT同事的共同努力下，对学校系统内的每个家庭欠费和余款情况有了一个比较好的系统进行处理，基本上清除了报了名而没有上课或在规定的时间内退课留下的虚假欠费，对还在学校有余款的家庭也有了一个比较方便的系统让会员进行处理，对还有欠费的家庭也有了一个分类。

如果你在学校还有余款，你会在近期收到学校的通知，你可以在：留在学校供下一年使用、退款、捐赠给学校中间选择，这样让我们能更有效地管理每个家庭的余款。

对还有欠费的家庭，你还会收到学校通知，如果你这一学期的费用还未交齐，学校会要求你补足，如果你这一学期的费用已经足够，学校将给你在现在交齐或春季开学前交齐中选择。我们希望，下学期开学前，学校在学的每个家庭，将在学校的学籍管理系统及收费系统中不留任何不清楚的记录。

对目前已经不在中文学校注册的家庭但有余额或欠款，行政团队将提供一个参考的处理方法，待理事会批准以后，会及时和这些家庭联系。

谢谢大家，户外阳光明媚、秋色喜人，祝大家有一个愉快的星期日。

SCCS Announcement on October 23, 2016

Dear SCCS members,

It is the open day today for SCSU, our host university. SCCS will not have class today.

I want to update the progress of our effort on cleaning up each family's record in our system which includes both registration and financial records. Thanks to the hard work of our colleagues in the finance team and IT team, we have a much better system to manage the students' record and finance record. Now we clean up all students' records who accidentally registered or registered but did not show up in our system. This also cleans up the fake receivables for those families.

For those families who have credits in our school, you will receive an email to direct you how to choose from the following options: to leave the credit there for next year, to request a refund check and to donate it to our school.

For those families who have balance to pay, you will also receive an e-mail soon. If you still have balance for this Semester, you will be required to pay to clean up the due for this semester. If you do not have the due for this semester but have the due for all school year, you will be given options to choose between to pay now and to pay before the beginning of next semester.

We will extend the options for those families who do not currently register after a policy is developed by the Administration team and approved by the Board.

See you next Sunday.

Regards,

Junqi Ding

SCCS Announcement Oct 15, 2016

Dear All SCCS members,

We will have regular classes tomorrow. The school will be closed on Oct. 23 due to the open house of SCSU.

1. We are cleaning up our finance record for every family. We have a lot of families who still have dues. The reason might vary, for example, registered but did not attend and did not cancel in our record, late fees, intentionally partial paid for Fall, and lost check on the way to the school, etc. This creates a lot of hurdles for us to clean up the system. The financial team and IT team are working together to create a platform online for every family to clean up their record. Before the function is ready, please login to your account and check your balance. If there are errors, please stop by A107 during the school time. If you want to pay your due, please bring your check to the school. After the platform is ready, we will inform you the options you have. Your corporation is highly appreciated.
2. The receipts for summer camp will be ready to pick up tomorrow before 3:30 in A107.
3. If your child wants to exchange gift cards using their earned points, please stop by A107.
4. Please update your contact information in your account on time. It is important for the school to have your current contact information in case of emergency. We had some examples that parents could not pick up their children on time. In addition, please teach your children not to go out of the building with stranger(s). If they cannot find parents, please come to the school office A107.
5. To build a stronger school needs collective efforts from every member. Your input is very important. If you have any suggestion or thought to help us to improve our school, please contact us. Together, we can build a better school.

Regards,

SCCS Announcement Oct 9, 2016

Dear SCCS members,

We will have a regular class today. On Oct 23, we will not have the school due to the open house day of SCSU.

We have a point system to encourage our students to learn Chinese. But students hold a lot of tokens in hand and we are short of it for teachers. In addition to the regular store opening, we prepared some gift cards such as Amazon, iTunes, Target (usually $5-$15 with 50-150 points) in the office. Please let your children know that they can come to the Office (A107) to purchase these gift cards. For some students who want to have even larger value gift cards (more than $25), we can order for them if they come to register in the office. For those students to prepay with their tokens, we can give some additional awards.

很高兴向大家宣布，经我提名，理事会讨论批准，中文学校办公室主任由赵立平先生、江莺女士共同担任，他们向副校长王英姿汇报，负责办公室的日常工作，他们的时间分工由他们自己协商解决。

赵立平先生是中文学校的元老，他是第一届理事会理事，第二届理事会理事长，为中文学校的发展做了大量的工作，非常感谢他能回中文学校继续为大家服务。

江莺女士是中文学校的新生力量，有着生物学博士的她工作认真细致，已经在过去几周日在中文学校办公室协助工作，非常高兴他能加入到我们的团队，为中文学校的健康发展贡献一份力量。

我们欢迎更多的家长来学校帮忙，尤其希望能有更多的小孩在中低年级的家长来学校服务，在这里特别感谢彭博和她的先生到学校做志愿者，上星期他们帮助切月饼（自己因为过敏一块也不能吃），这个星期帮助打铃。我们需要更多这样的家长，每个人的一份参与，就是对我们的最大支持。

还要强调一点学校安全，今天彭博女士去打铃的时候，被一个女同学突然从里面推门出来而撞伤了额头，请各位家长教育自己的孩子，不要太快推门，尤其是餐厅的向外开的门。

2016年9月24日通知：学校网上自动注册修改系统将关闭

南康中文学校的家长：

大家好！

1. 学校将从9月26日起关闭家长注册改课系统，需要调课、注册、加课的家庭，请抓紧时间。请大家务必到学校网站上查看春季选课的情况，我们发现许多家庭文化课只注册了秋季课程，如果你只希望孩子秋季试试，那不需要改动，如果因为疏忽而没有选春季的课，请现在加上，到了春季开学，学校没有精力和人手再进行又一轮注册。
2. 请登录你的学校帐户，检查一下你的付费记录，如果你还有未付款项，请这个星期带支票到学校付款，尤其是错过享受免注册费的和可能被学校收迟交学费罚款的家庭，请补上应交款项。如果因为退课或其他的原因，学校须退款的家庭，这部分款项可以作为以后的学费使用，也可以要求学校退款，需要退款的家庭，请周日到学校办公室登记一下，我们将在有了出具支票的权力以后，为你开具退款支票。如果你希望把剩余款项捐赠给学校，也请到办公室登记一下，学校到时统一出具免税收据，供你报税使用。
3. 需要交费的家庭，请在星期天2:00-3:00或4:00-5:00到学校办公室缴费，其他时间学校管财务的同事将接待老师的买卖书本款项结算，恕不接待家长。
4. 未注册或未获学校行政书面同意听课的学生，将不允许在教室听课。如果发现，学校将要求该学生缴纳该课程的学费，并可能加收罚款。
5. PTA 2:30开始将在餐厅举行庆中秋活动，欢迎大家参加。请家长照顾好自己的孩子，尤其是有食物过敏的孩子远离可能引起过敏的食物。
6. 学校预留了C010作为开会活动应急等用途，需要安静看书的家长，请自行前往，不要在该教室聊天喧哗，请自觉遵守。
7. 请家长教育自己的孩子注意安全，学校许多设施是为大学生设计，没有为未成年人考虑，许多可能的安全隐患，加上学校没有人力面面俱到，还请家长教育好自己的孩子。
8. Bulldog SAT Verbal课程本周还是在B220集中上课，下周开始分成两个班。
9. 如果你对学校的发展有任何建议，请和我们联系。

谢谢，星期日中文学校见。

Announcement on Sept 10, 2016：南康中文2016年秋新开文化课

各位南康中文学校的家长：

为满足大家的需求，我校新开两门文化课，供大家选择:/two more enrichment courses
【EATP1】Chinese Talent Performance (中文才艺表演课) (2:25-3:10)
【EHZU1】Zumba for Adults (1:30-2:15)

***********Details*******************

【EATP1】Chinese Talent Performance (中文才艺表演课) (2:25-3:10)

为了更好地辅助高年级的学生们学习中文，南康中文学校将在本学期试行增加《中文才艺表演课》。本课由我校现任美术老师、原中国中央电视台文艺中心编导张小安 和富有在美文艺活动经验的刘蓉老师共同执教，主要课程有中文标准朗读、诗歌朗诵、演讲、歌曲演唱、中文短剧表演、形体训练及礼仪主持等。 本课授课采用分组教学，单独辅导和集体排练相结合的方式进行。学生们通过因材施教的专业训练后可以提高公共场合表现能力，运用所学的中文，深入了解中国文化，并有机会参加中文学校的中国节日文艺演出、本地公立学校中文教育口语示范演出、本地公益演出等文艺活动，在展现中华文化丰富多彩的内容的同时逐步扩大、增强大纽海文地区华人的社会影响力。
为了保证教学质量，发现学生特长，便于任教老师了解学生的兴趣和中文能力，张小安老师和刘蓉老师将于 9 月 11 日下午 2 点 20 分在 A117 和已报名的及感兴趣的学生及其家长面谈。学生可以准备一个小表演，例如讲个小故事或个人才艺表演（限时 2 分钟左右）。届时欢迎学生和家长到场。

In order to help high school students to learn Chinese better, we will offer the “Chinese Talent Performance" course at SCCS this year. This course will be co-taught by our current art teacher, former director of CCTV Arts Center, ZHANG Xiao’an and our new art teacher, an active performer in shows and public events in US, LIU Rong (Ivy). The curriculum of this course includes reciting in Mandarin Chinese, poetry readings, public speaking in Chinese, singing, Chinese drama performances, figure training, and emceeing. The course features teaching with each student’s aptitude. The students will get experience and improvement in different aspects, and have opportunities to perform in SCCS Chinese New Year Gala, to demonstrate spoken Chinese in local public schools, and to join public performances and other cultural events. The social impact in Greater New Haven area by showing the variety of Chinese culture is forseenable.
In order to ensure the quality of teaching and identify the students’ talent, the teachers will meet the registered and interested students on September 11th, at 2:20 pm, in room A117. The students can prepare a short performance, such as telling a story or showing a talent (limit 2 minutes).

【EHZU1】Zumba for Adults (1:30-2:15)

Zumba（尊巴）是一种健康时尚的健身课程，它将音乐与动感易学的动作还有间歇有氧运动融合在了一起。Zumba是能让人摆脱烦恼与枯燥的快乐运动。任何人只需要跟着节拍就能自然地做动作, 舞步简单、有趣、易学。 尊巴是由舞蹈演变而来的一种健身方式，难度并不是很大，也不需要任何拉丁舞蹈基础，对舞步的完成质量没有特别要求。Zumba较大强度的运动对减肥、塑身有较好效果。
Zumba is an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness which moves millions of people towards joy and health. Zumba involves dance and aerobic elements. Because the Zumba program is low-impact, it is sage for all ages.
For Zumba performance by our members in Chinese Gala, you can watch the following Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpkcfxvy1Sk&index=30&list=PL7psBeHiN-cW1ZyGzJy9fLBH6HtzkALgd

Announcement Sept 3,2016-Add New Class

各位南康中文学校家长，

Youth Public Speaking 1 ("Grade 4-6", "Class Code": ELPS1), 由于老师时间安排上的问题，我们将这门课 (从原先的时间段1:30-2:15pm)移到12:35开始, 如果你已经注册了这门课，应该收到我们的通知。如果你还没有注册，请抓紧时间网上注册。

另外，很高兴地向大家报告，我们为年龄6-10岁的孩子开设了一门电脑编程入门 (3:30-4:15pm)，下面是课程简介，如果你需要更多地了解 Scratch，请参考网站 https://scratch.mit.edu/
课程代码 ELCS2：Scratch编程寓教于乐，学生在动手制作他们喜欢的动画时，学习了编程思想，锻炼了分析问题、解决问题的能力。学生自带电脑或IPad，网络环境下可使用Scratch在线编辑功能，无网络时可以使用预装的离线版本。

We open a course for young students (6-10 years old): Introduction to Creative programming.
The following is the brief introduction.

Class Code ELCS2： This is a basic entry level programming course. It will help the students to build a basic conception of programming when they later move onto real-world programming.A simple programming language, Scratch, will be introduced to the class. Students can create a big range of projects, from computer-generated art and animated cartoons to quizzes and puzzles. No previous programming experience is required. Students can create animated graphics and sound in a few minutes. They can see pretty good results almost instantly. Furthermore, the students can participate in the online community for Scratch. They can remix projects, ideas, images, or anything else they find on Scratch, and everyone can use anything that others shared.

For more information about Scratch, please visit the website:   https://scratch.mit.edu/

Requirements: Age 6-10, need to bring ipad, PC, or Mac

In addition, Youth Public Speaking 1 ("Grade 4-6", "Class Code": ELPS1), will change from original schedule 1:30-2:15pm to 12:35-1:20pm due to the issue of teacher availability. If you already choose the class, you should receive our e-mail. If you want to register, please do so sooner.

Best wishes,

Junqi Ding
