2013蛇年新春联欢会录像盘继续出售  CNY show DVD/Blue Ray is a great gift for your kids and teacher

PTA desk continues this Saturday to sell the leftover 18 CNY show DVD/Blue-Rays. Pre-Orders can be taken after that until end of the March. Here is a gift idea to be shared with our PTA Leads. One of the parent who already saw the DVD at home told us that the CNY show DVD has a great quality and can be a good gift idea for their class teacher and kids by purchasing through their class fund.

家长值勤安排 Parent-on-duty
The next classes for parent-on-duty are as follows:
            Mar 09             AM - 5A;  PM - 8C
coming up:
            Mar 16           AM - 5E;  PM - 9C

Each class will need 2 parents for safety patrol, and 2 parents for the gift certificate sales.  AM refers to classes starting at 9am, and PM refers to classes starting at 12noon.  Please inform the parents of the specific duties and procedures.

Safety patrol  Safety patrol parents must arrive before 8:45 for morning classes and before 11:45 for afternoon classes, and stay until about 30 minutes after classes begin.   The parents should get the safety patrol jackets from the principal's desk.  The duties include directing traffic  outside of the school building, and ensuring that students walk safely in the school premises.

Gift certificate sales  Gift certificate sales parents can get the gift certificates from the accountant, Ms. Xu Min at the admin desk.  Please remember to record the classes for which the certificates are purchases, because 5% of the proceeds go to the respective class funds.  Morning parents should stay until 10:50, and afternoon parents should stay until 1:30.

Please take a look at the overall class duty calendar to know your class' scheduled date, and prepare to organize the parent duties about 2 weeks ahead of time. If you have any questions or your role has been transferred to other parents, please contact Minggang Li at: ming.li@nwchinese.org
