From The Principal's Office:
- Registration for the 2008-09 school year. The deadline to qualify for the early registration discount is 5/17/08. We encourage all returning families to complete the procedure by that date. If you require additional forms and instructions, please come to the School Office or download the documents from the school website.
- The results of the CSSW Classroom Evaluation Survey are in. Parents of approximately one-half of academic class students responded and approximately two-thirds of households responded to the survey. The median and mean ratings for "good overall teacher performance" was 4.0 and 3.5, respectively. A score of 4 denotes "Strongly Agree" and a score of 3 denotes "Agree." Approximately half the respondents submitted the survey electronically. The results have been reviewed by the Board of Directors and will be shared with the individual teachers as appropriate. We thank everyone who participated in this important exercise!
- Association of Chinese Schools Annual Conference. A majority of our teaching staff will be attending this conference in suburban Washington D.C. on 5/24-25. The conference agenda covers many current issues in Chinese language education, including the latest developments in the College Board AP Chinese and SAT II Tests.
- Photo Day is 4/26/08 and the Deadline for Annual Yearbook Submissions is 5/10/08. Teachers should submit their students materials to the School Office. The 2008 Student Yearbook shall be distributed to all families at the Year-End Ceremonies.
