本周特别通知

Newport High本周六会有活动. cafeteria会被占用. 请平时坐在那里的家长有准备. 另外, 停车可能会比平日难.  在距教学楼较远的停车场停车反而会节省时间. 请大家早些到, 并避免在楼前拥堵. 最后, 请一定注意标识, 不要违章停车. 开学以来我们已有家长吃警察的罚单.

Newport High will have their Gymnastics East Meet event and occupy the cafeteria part of the commons. Parents please be aware. Also, to save you time finding a parking space, it’s a better idea to park far from the main building. Lastly, please abide by the parking sign and regulations to avoid tickets.

Volunteers Wanted

我们需要学生volunteer帮忙Prize Station和Library. 时间可以商讨. 希望有意做义工的同学和PTA email联系.

We are in need of student volunteers to help with Prize Station and Library. Hours can be negotiable. Please email PTA@nwchinese.org if you are interested.

另外学校PTA衷心欢迎有意愿帮学校建设得更好的人士加入我们的行列. 请看以下内容. 联系请email pta@nwchinese.org.

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->在学校的账户, 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.

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.
