September 6, 2020
Dear Parents of Westside Chinese School,
Welcome to the 2020-2021 academic school year! The first day of school is Saturday, September 12, 2020. My name is Suh Chen Hsiao, your newly appointed principal, who had the pleasure to serve various leadership positions at Westside Chinese School including PTA Vice President (AY 2001-2002), PTA President (AY 2002-2003), Vice Principal of Academic Affairs (AY 2004-2007) as well as serving on the CLSSC Board for all those years. My daughter attended Westside Chinese School from kindergarten to 10th grade. I have many fond memories and enjoy being a part of this beautiful learning community. In 2018, I returned to Westside Chinese School with my two twin nephews. It is my honor to serve as your principal for this academic year.
Due to the unprecedented circumstance with Covid-19, our school will resume virtual classes in the fall following the Covid-19 protocol set by Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. We thank you for your flexibility and adaptability when we transitioned to virtual learning back in March and look forward to your continuous support as we began our new school year. Our board members and teachers have been meeting over the summer and plan to bring an exciting and robust Chinese language curriculum to the upcoming new school year.
As our school year is about to start, I like to provide following important announcements:
1-1:30 pm PA/PB/1A/1B/2A/2B
1:30-2:00 3A/3B/4A/4B/5A/5B

Have a productive academic year! Please stay safe, well and healthy!

亲爱的西区中文学校家长:
欢迎来到西区中文学校2020-2021新学年。开学的第一天是星期六9月12日。我的名字是萧夙真，今年的新任校长。我曾担任西区中文学校各种职务，包括家长会副会长，家长会会长和教务副校长，也是多年的董事会成员。我的女儿从幼稚园直到高中10年级就读西区中文学校。离开中文学校6年后，两年前我带着双胞胎姪子回到中文学校。我对西区中文学校抱有很多美好的回忆及体验。这次能担任本学年校长是我的荣幸。
由于全球性前所未有的新冠状病毒疫情扩散，为确保各位学生家长的健康安全，今年中文学校将按照疾病控制及预防中心还有洛杉矶县公共卫生部门的法令，继续我们的在线视频教学。感谢各位家长在今年三月份中文学校临时决定改为在线视频教学时对校方的体谅及支持。新学年我们将继续云端视频教学课程。我期待你们的合作，并在新学年继续全力配合老师及学校。为了准备新学年的开始，今年暑假董事会及各位老师召开多次会议，并参加教师研讨会，目的是更好的加强教学内容及教学方法，来提升功能强大更全新的中文教学！
在学期即将开始之际，我有以下重要报告在此与家长们分享：
取书时间表如下：
1 - 1：30 pm PA / PB / 1A / 1B / 2A / 2B

如果您无法在9月12日取书，我们准备在下一个星期六9月19日分发教科书。感谢您在此过程
中的耐心配合。
家长的参与一直是我们学校的美好传统。这是西区华人社区强大的支柱之一。很多西区中文学校的毕业生及家长継续保持良好关系，成为好朋友并一起支持我们的社区。我了解Covid-19对我们工作及家人的影响，我们将互相支持和配合并度过这些挑战及难关，一起为我们的学生提供最优质的学习体验。感谢您阅读这份冗长的电子邮件。我希望听到你的意见，想法和建议。请随时通过 servicepoint@westsidechineseschool.org 与我联系。也希望你能加入我们的工作团体，一起为西区中文学校加油！
