1.      直接捐款. 可以和PTAAdmin联系 ( email: pta@mail.nwchinese.org, admin@nwchinese.org )

3.      Buy gift certificates sold at school and your class benefits from it ( 6% of your purchase ).


请查看你的email地址是否有效  Please check if your email address is correct

我们每次发给全校的email总是有不少被退回. 同时又总有家长说没收到email. 我们的email 地址是从每个家庭在学校的账户中来的. 如果家长输入有误或换了邮件地址我们无从知道如何修改. 对于长期给我们产生退信的地址, 我们只好进行删除. 请各位家长登录学校的账户, 确认你留的所有地址均正确. 此举是确保大家能够收到我们的email. 如果你发现有家长根本不知学校email这回事, 请告之去学校网站登录. 另外, 我们强烈建议大家使用自己的个人邮箱. 使用公司邮箱不仅往往不符合公司的政策, 而且会造成邮件被拦截. 比如我们总是收到波音公司的退信. 目前不拦截的公司不代表以后也不拦截. 所以鼓励大家使用个人信箱.

We keep getting bounced emails every time we send out a broadcast email. As the same time there’s complaints from some parents that they never got any emails. The email addresses we use are from the user accounts that you set up at our school’s website. If you don’t make it right, or change your emails, such thing happens and we can’t fix it for you. For repeat bounce emails, we’ll have to delete the email addresses in the user accounts. Please log in to your account and verify that if your email addresses are correct. Also, we strongly recommend using personal emails rather than work emails. Using work email is not only inappropriate according to company policies, often time it causes mail loss.

NWCS PTA Weekly Email 09/15/2011

各位家长, 同学, 欢迎回到西北中文学校!   Welcome back to NWCS!

学生注册  Class Registration
本周六是开学第一天, 人流量大, 又要办各种手续. 望大家有所准备. 这里有几点建议供参考:

1.      老生请在网上注册课程, 并打印出注册报告带到学校缴费. 新生也有表格可以从该网页下载事先填好.
2.      学校会在办公区域有明显的分区. 新生和老生分开. 另外在老生区域分已有注册报告和无注册报告的队列. 已有注册报告会显著加快办理速度, 希望家长充分利用这一点节省自己的排队时间.
3.      教材领取处也会有明显颜色标识, 方便大家找到所需的教材.
4.      教室安排在这里.
5.      早些到校以方便停车.

It’s the opening day this coming Saturday. A big crowd is expected and here are some tips for you to shorten your wait time for class registration:

1.      Please go to the online registration site here-> 网上注册课程. Returning students please register online and print out the report page. Bring them with your payments to the school. New students can also download necessary forms and fill them out in advance.
2.      There will be separate sections at school admin area for returning students  and new students. Also there will be different lines for who have the registration reports and who don’t.  Having a registration report in hand will get you a faster line.
3.      There will be colored sections at text book pick-up for you to quickly find the appropriate text books.
4.      The class room assignment can be found here -> 这里.
