西北中文学校品德教育 - 责任感  Virtues education for Jan & Feb  - Responsibility
责任感,就是把自己该做的事做好,能受到他人的信任和依赖。我们若答应做一件事,无论是为了工作,为了家人还是为了朋友,事无巨细,我们都不能说了而不去做。若做错了,要敢于承认,不能想尽办法怪天怪地或责怪他人。若人们都没有责任感,答应的事情就没人去完成 如忘了家庭作业,承诺之言变得毫无价值,该做的工作也半途而退。没有责任心的人会变得让人越来越失望。为己为他都要学会有责任感。The new theme of virtues education sponsored by the PTA is Responsibility.  Being responsible means that others can depend on us. If we agree to do something for our job, for our family or for our friend, we don’t forget about it. When we make mistakes, we take responsibility for it. We don’t blame the weather or someone else. When people are not willing to be responsible, things they have agreed to do may never get done. Homework is forgotten, promises are not kept, jobs are left undone, and others become disappointed. Be responsible for yourself and others.

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. Yi Qiufang at the admin desk.  Please remember to record the classes for which the certificates are purchases, because

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 Li, Minggang at: ming.li@nwchinese.org
