Celebrate the Moon Festival, Seminar on College Application and survey for Children's Choir

Dear SCCS members,

1. Celebration of Moon Festival:

The Moon Festival is coming and PTA will celebrate the festival this Sunday. Here are the arrangement:

Venue: Cafeteria, Middle of B-Wing

2:00-2:30: Taste of Mooncake (first run)

2:30-3:00: Performance by the winners of the talent show in the Spring Semester

3:15-3:45: Taste of Mooncake (second run)

Thanks to all volunteers and PTA. They started to plan the celebration from the summer. Hope you will enjoy it.

2. Seminar on College Application:

Navigating college applications can be challenging, especially for second-generation Chinese Americans whose parents did not attend college in the U.S. What are colleges looking for? How do you help your child prepare themselves for the American college application process? What kind of skills do they need to develop to prepare for their future? Yale Law School students Kathy Lu and Julia Wang are here to share their insights as Chinese American students who successfully navigated the process. The panel will focus on finding the right personal statement topic, presenting a unique voice, and putting the best foot forward. Parents will have the opportunity to ask questions about the college application process and preparing your children to be confident and successful leaders and critical thinkers.

Time: 3:30-4:30

Venue: A120 (the lecture hall between A and B wings)

3. Survey for the Children's Choir and Vocal training:

SCCS plans to open a class for the Children's choir and Vocal Training. Students can learn Chinese songs by a professional teacher: Ms. Shanshan Zeng. Ms. Zang graduated from Sichuan Conservatory of Music, Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and Harper College. She was a professional singer in China and won a lot of prestige awards. She was teaching in a Chinese School in Chicago before moving to New Haven area. Her resume can be found in the Chinese version above. If you want to know her more, please contact me directly.

We want to start the course from October 21 and continue to the end of the school year if we have more than 8 students. The tuition fee will be $50 for this semester and $100 for next semester. If you are interested in registering your child(ren), please finish the survey by October 6. We will contact you if we have enough students to open the course.

https://goo.gl/forms/GeKqEssL9Owu8dPp1

4. The Chinese vocabulary competition (grade 3-7):

SCCS will organize 2017 Chinese vocabulary competition for heritage classes from grade 3 to 7. The detailed rules will be followed in my e-mail next week. If you want to get more information about the competition, please refer the Chinese version above.

5. Attendance:

The shopping period for courses was end. Anyone without registration or permission from office (except the on-duty room parents) will not be allowed to sit in the classroom. The teacher for each course will have attendance sheet. And the school office will occasionally check the attendance for some courses. If someone is not registered or does not have permission but sits in the classroom, he/she will be asked to pay the tuition fee plus the penalty. Thanks for your corporation.

See you Sunday.

[SCCS]9/16/17:last day for modifying course selection, Enrichment classes start tomorrow

南康中文学校家长，

中文学校文化课（enrichment courses, 非中国语言课)明天开始上课，由Bulldog Tutoring开的SAT verbal课12:35开始上课，其他课1:30、2:25、3:10或4:25开始上课，部分教室有所变动，任课老师应该已经把教室变动的情况通知了班上已经注册了的同学，如果有疑问请参考学校网站上的上课时间和教室。SAT数学课将进行分班考试测验，请同学们按老师的通知准时到相应的教室参加考试。

所有课程明天仍然可以试课，明天是中文学校网上注册、改课的最后一天，同时也是只需缴$20注册费的最后一天（后天开始，注册费将增加到$40)，所以，请试完课的家长明天到A107办公室办理注册缴费。

哈佛大学本科毕业、Gates Scholar，剑桥硕士，目前耶鲁法学院在读的Julia Wang在南康中文学校开设的“在美华人历史”课将会是集历史、英文写作和演讲于一体的课，这门课春季在中文学校试讲以后反响很不错，同时也针对试讲过程中的收集到的建议，进行了修改，比如增加写作、并集体组织参观纽约华人博物馆。这次Julia还把她的同学，同在耶鲁法学院的Kathy Lu邀请过来一起上课，她们两位明年五月就会从法学院毕业。我和Julia多次接触，深深感到她有思想，有抱负，也有行动力。她们都是义务来中文学校教这门课（请注意，所有希望听这门课的学生仍需注册这门课并缴交学费，学费部分将用于不同的活动）。非常欢迎高中同学，尤其是已经不上中文课的同学，这个星期天过来看看。我相信不会让你失望的。Julia说不定成为你孩子的role model和终身的朋友。

上周值班很顺利，感谢办公室主任江莺及所有的值班家长，明天的值班安排已经发到家庭的联系信箱，同时也在学校家长微信群里公布了，请各位家长按时到办公室报到。

   We encourage parents to finish the patrol duty a whole afternoon. If you have such preference or other requirements, please contact safety@ynhchineseschool.org directly.
2. We add another Kindergarten class due to the over registration of two kindergarten classes. Please find more information in our website.
   
   We still have openings in some exercise courses: such as Pi-Yo, Zumba, Yoga, and Taiji. Come to have fun when your child(ren) are taken care by our teachers.
   
   We also want every high school students know that we have a course: Chinese in America, Discussion Panels. The instructor, Julia Wang, is a Harvard graduate, a Gates Scholar, Master from Cambridge and currently a Yale Law School student. She will mix the English writing and public speech in the course. We also plan to have a field trip to MOCA at NYC.
   
   If you have a high student at home, do not miss the Seminar on college application by Julia Wang early December.
3. To reduce the hurdle for your first day, especially for these who come to our school the first time, we prepare a pdf file for you: http://www.ynhchineseschool.org/prod_v08/Files/Firstday2017_18.pdf
4. Textbooks will be distributed in each classroom. You should receive an e-mail from your teacher before Sunday for the detail. The school does not accept cash anymore. If you want to pay cash for textbook, it is acceptable since each teacher will collect them together and write a check to the school. For any payment directly to the school, please be aware that NO CASH policy is strictly enforced.
   
   Some teachers might need to charge additional material fee. Please refer to the e-mails from your teacher.
5. The school office will be in Room A-107 (Engleman Hall). It will be the best place for general information and reporting to your patrol duty. We temporarily set up desks in the Hall way of B-wing (opposite to the Cafeteria). You can register, add classes, drop classes, pay bills there. If you can bring a Payment voucher, it will help us to locate your information much fast.

Welcome to SCCS. Let's work together to build a better place for our children and ourselves.

2. SCCS imposes a “No Cash” policy. From now on, SCCS will ONLY accept check. No cash will be accepted.

New Course

1. A survey history course of the Chinese in America Through discussion, lecture, and analytical exercises, students will learn about their predecessors in this country and why this 200+ years of history matters to us today. The course will be taught by two Yale Law School students, who will lead students through discussions and help the students gain analytical, critical thinking and speaking skills. The students are expected to actively participate in discussion and will present a final project on the last day of class. The course is limited to 9th to 12th graders.
2. Introduction to HTML and CSS This course will introduce the basic concept of HTML5; the predominant markup language of modern web pages, and CSS3; the cascading style sheet language. This is an entry level course for web development. The primary goal of this course is to give students the ability to use HTML and CSS to code a web page, describe what HTML documents are, how to use the CSS Box Model, how a web page works, and how to code, test and validate a web page. At the end of this course, students should be able to use HTML5 and CSS3 to code static web pages and link them together.
3. Exercise and fitness We have more courses for adult students to exercise. In addition to Taiji, Yoga, we also have a new fitness course.
