    • 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!

[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.


  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.

[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.

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

南康中文学校2016年10月15日通知

南康中文学校的家长,

大家好!

明天学校照常上课,10/23日学校将停课一天。

  1. 目前学校正在清理每个家庭的帐目,需要大家的配合。我们仍有许多应收款项没有收回,有些已经是陈年老帐,可能的原因有多种,比如注册了课但没有上也没有取消、迟注册的罚款、秋季只交了部分款项,余额留到春天补缴、支票邮寄途中丢失等等,种种原因给我们的工作造成了困扰,学校财务和IT正在合作,把网上各个家庭的欠款或余款做一个清理,我们将提供一个容易操作的平台让大家可以选择。在这个平台完全做好之前,请各位务必登录学校网站,检查一下自己家庭的帐目,如果确实是学校的问题,请周日到办公室告知,我们将记录下来,统一处理。如果你确实没有缴费或希望补齐,请带支票到学校办公室缴费。
  2. 需要夏令营正式发票的家庭,请在3:30之前到办公室领取。
  3. 需要兑换gift card的小朋友可以到办公室换取,需要大额gift card($25以上)的小朋友也可到办公室登记。
  4. 如果家庭地址或电话有变化的家庭,请务必到网上及时更改,上星期日有一位家长忘了接孩子,幸好学校database里的手机号码正确,我们才能及时联系上这位家长。另外,请教育你的孩子,不要跟陌生人离开学校大门,如果找不到家长,可以直接到A107办公室,我们一直有人值班。
  5. 如果你对学校有任何建议,请及时和我们联系,我们希望和大家一起把学校办好,共同建设我们这个社区共有的学校。

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,

南康中文学校2016年10月9日通知

各位南康中文学校的家长,

今天中文学校照常上课,10月23日, 由于南康大学需要教室,学校将停课一次。

学校实行的计点奖励制度大大提高了学生参与的积极性,但目前大量token存储于学生手中,毎次开学校小店换回来的token 不够再发给老师。除了开小店换token, 学校办公室还有礼物卡gift cards 兑换。现有Amazon,iTunes, target 小面额卡($5-$15, 50-150 points),同学不需要等到小店开门才能换,可以鼓励同学在课间到办公室换取;另外,如果学生想要大面额礼物卡($25 或更多),可以到办公室登记,我们尽快订好通知学生来办公室兑换。如果预交大额卡的token点,我们可以给小奖励。希望家长们帮忙劝说孩子尽量不要大量囤积token。

谢谢!

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 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。

Oct. 02, 2016 Announcement: New Office Managers

Dear SCCS members,

I am delighted to announce that Mr. Liping Zhao, Dr. Ying Jiang will share the responsibility of the Office Manager. Both of them will report to the Vice Principal Dr. Yingzi Wang. Please join me to welcome them to join the administration team.

Mr. Liping Zhao has the long history to serve the school. He was the board member from 2007 to 2009, the board chair from 2009 to 2011. I am really happy that he joins my administration and serves the school again.

Dr. Ying Jiang is a relative new member to the chinese school. She has a PhD degree in Biology and is very responsible. She already comes to the school office to give her hands before the board approved her nomination.

I also want to use this opportunity to make a public request that we welcome more members, especially those with young child(ren), to help the school as volunteers. I want to thank Ms. Bo Peng and her husband for volunteering in the past two Sundays. We really appreciate their help.

By the way, I want to remind every parent to teach your child(ren) the importance of safety. Today, Ms. Bo Peng was hit by the sudden-open door pushed by a student.

Best regards,

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。

【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

We highly encourage you to register as soon as possible since spaces are very limited for some of the classes. You will also enjoy a registration fee waiver if you register AND make payment by August 31 (postmarked).

In order to meet different needs of our students and parents, this semester we also will be offering some new courses, such as, figure training for parents and children, Chinese recital, Acrylic painting and AMC-10. Please check our website for details.

Regarding the courses provided by third vendors, such as Symphony, Bulldog SAT, Taichi, etc, the administration team has submitted a proposal to the School Board. As soon as we get the decision from the Board, we will inform you.

Thank you for your continuous support to our school. My colleagues and I are excited to spend another fun and rewarding year together with you and your child.

Look forward to seeing you all in September!

Warm Regards,

Junqi Ding
