From The Principal's Office:
- We have begun a major redesign of the school’s website and hope to have it online in the next month or two. It will have complete Chinese and English versions. Please direct any comments or suggestions to Fong-Yi Wei at 914-428-4600 or fwei@csswny.org
- We welcome 41 new students to our school this year. Many of the new students are in PK, Kindergarten and 1st Grade.
- In order to increase our student enrollment, the Board of Directors has authorized a Student Referral Tuition Discount Program effective immediately. Any current CSSW family that provides a referral to a new family directly resulting in the matriculation of a new student shall be entitled to a tuition discount of up to 20% of an individual full-time student tuition for the upcoming school year. Please come to the school office for further details. The Board has carefully considered this issue and believes that such a program will serve the best long-term interests of our school.
