- Snow Day Policy:
Once the principal and vice-principal
have determined that school will be cancelled due to snow, they will
notify the school staff and teachers. Each teacher will then
immediately contact all the students in his or her class. We will
try our best to have everyone notified 3-4 hours before the normal
school start time. If in doubt, please check the school website for
the latest information and look for a special newsletter in your
email.
- The school is in the process of
preparing for our Chinese Cultural Day event on February 1, 2009, to
celebrate Chinese New Year. There will be plenty of food, games and
raffle tickets for prizes to signify a new prosperous year. The
school welcomes all families and their friends to participate in
this event. Donations of raffle prizes will also be helpful to the
celebration. Any parent wishing to help out by donating food for the
event can contact Su-Ju Chen at (978)251-0171 or
jshiau@comcast.net.
