家庭教育真谛座谈How do parents know what we want from our children is the right decision for their lives? How can we educate our children to do the right thing even when it is not popular or no one is watching?

The combination of leadership, team player, and academic skills is needed in whatever we do. Dr. Jody McVittie, MD will speak to us about her real life experience how she has transformed herself and inspired her children to make their own decision to be their best. She will provide parents useful tools on how to motivate their children and connect with them internally to help them grow into a “whole” child who enjoy their personal and professional lives.

家长值勤安排Reminder: Class PTA Lead meeting is this Sat, room 1201
The next classes for parent-on-duty are as follows:
            Dec. 8    AM - 7E;  PM - KC
coming up:
            Dec. 15  AM - 8E;  PM - KD

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
