PRINCIPAL'S WEEKLY MESSAGE 校長週訊 (4/19/2018)
Dear Parents of Westside Chinese School,
We are going to start registration for the 2018-2019 school year on May 12.
Before May 12, the school database will send out to each family an email that includes registration instructions and an individualized registration form to use for the coming school year. This individualized registration form will reflect each family’s service point charge for unfulfilled points as of April 28, 2018. In order to make sure that the form reflects the most up to date record of your service points, please take a moment to visit the school websitehttps://westsidechineseschool.weebly.com/check-service-points-265973542626381212094067025976.html to check your service point records to ensure it is accurate and up-to-date. If you think any of your points are missing, please contact the coordinators of the service you provided to have them report your points to the school so that your records can be updated before April 28.
If you still do not have 20 service points, you have until the end of the school year to earn points. The deadline to report service points for the 2017-2018 school year is June 15, 2018. Any service points requested after June 15, 2018 will not be honored.
Election Nominations
Nominations for school board positions end at 11:45 am this Saturday, April 21, 2018. All positions are open for nomination. No nominations will be accepted after the expiration of the nomination period. Nominations can be made on the forms that will be posted outside the auditorium. You can nominate yourself, but please do not nominate a third party without such person’s consent. Our Vice Principal of General Affairs, Kyle LaBrache, is in charge of running the election. Please feel free to contact him at kylelabrache@gmail.com if you have any questions.
The school election will take place on May 5th.
As a reminder, the school will be closed on April 28 due to the SCCCS Track & Field Sports Meet. Classes resume on May 5.
Best regards,
Stella Wu

Dear Parents,
As the new school year begins, we ask that you help encourage people you know to join our school.
We all know the benefits of learning Chinese language and culture: greater understanding of the world around us, expanded career opportunities and stronger academic performance in other subjects. Please let your friends, neighbors, colleagues, parents of your children's buddies and anyone else who might be interested in learning Chinese know about our school. A flyer is attached to this email that you can easily forward to anyone who might be interested. Incentives for referring families are described below.
Our school offers two tracks of classes, "A" and "B".
A Track Classes
"A" track classes are for students for whom Chinese is one of the primary languages at home, i.e. heritage learners. Our A track begins with PA for kindergarten students, and then moves up one grade per year all the way to 12thgrade.
B Track Classes & Adult/Teen Classes
"B" track classes are for students without or with very limited Chinese language background. The B track has two beginner classes: PB and Adult/Teen Beginner. The PB class is for younger beginners, and then moves up one grade per year. The Adult/Teen Beginner class is for beginner students who are over ten years old. We also have an Adult/Teen Intermediate class for adults and teens who have learned Chinese before.
Both tracks teach traditional and simplified Chinese characters as well as the Zhuyin and Pinyin phonic systems. Students can choose their preferred version to learn.
Extracurricular Classes (EC)
To provide opportunities for people to experience Chinese culture, we also offer extracurricular classes for a discounted fee. Our EC classes include Chinese calligraphy, Chinese cooking, Chinese folk dancing, Chinese musical instrument, Chinese painting, origami, martial arts, SAT II prep courses, homework club, scientific handcrafts, school newspaper Westside Breeze, Tai-Chi, and learning Chinese by movies. The EC classes are open to people of any age, whether they register for our regular classes or not.
Parent and Me classes
We also offer Parent and Me classes for children aged 3 to 5 years old.
Incentive for Referring Families
As an incentive, any family that refers a new family which has successfully registered for this academic year will receive a credit of five (5) service points. Here is how it will work:
For your convenience, we have attached a flyer about our school. Please share it with as many people as possible. Thank you very much for your help!

- The referred family shall provide the name of the referring family on their registration form.
