With everybody hard work, the NWCS has completed another successful year.  With the arrival of the new year, we look forward to another rewarding year.  Besides the excellent efforts of the leadership and faculty of the School, the participation and contribution from parents is one major reason that the NWCS can stand out among the numerous Chinese schools.  A few weeks ago, the school leadership sent out a questionnaire to assess the opinion from our families regard the current school operations, and, more importantly, the future direction of our school.  If you have not completed the survey, please click here to finish it.  Everyone's opinion is important, because NWCS is our own.

Happy Holidays!

关于接送学生时交通的一些注意事项 Follow traffic rules during drop off and pick up
我 们送孩子上学和接孩子下课,都希望顺利到达学校和离开。由于我们学生多,大家都知道接送高峰期在学校周围车辆很多,加上不算宽的道路,车辆流通不很顺畅。 我们请各位家长在接送孩子的时侯,从为人为己的角度出发,遵守交通规则,服从学校管理人员和值勤家长的指挥,不违法停车,不仿碍别人的车过往,让我们的交 通保持流畅。这样做也是给孩子们做个好的表率,因为他们将来的驾驶习惯就是从观察我们开始。
 
When we take our children to school or pick them up after class, we all hope to be able arrive and leave smoothly.  Due to the large number of students, we all experience tight traffic around the school during peak drop off and pick up periods.  We would like to remind parents to observe traffic rules, to follow the directions of school personnel and parents on duty, not to park illegally, and not to obstruct traffic, to keep smooth flowing traffic.  Let us be good role models for the children, because their future driving habits start with observing their parents driving.

The Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) is the most important holiday in our Chinese heritage, a season to celebrate our culture.  This year's Spring Festival celebration performance will be held at 2:30pm on Feb. 3, 2013, at the Northshore Performing Arts Center at Bothell High School.  The celebration performance is also a window for everyone in Northwest Chinese School to showcase our talents and cultural learning.  We invite all interested teachers, students, and parents to have their performance prepared for registration and audition in December, volunteers to reserve the time at our New Year Celebration volunteering site, and everyone in our NWCS family to mark the calendar for Feb. 3.  We look forward to having everyone in making this performance a success.

Please watch for announcements for the preparation and other issues regarding the performance. For program registration, contact your class PTA Lead for details.

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.
