Principal: Andrew Shih

• I hope everyone enjoyed last week’s Cultural Day Event.  We had great participation from parents, teachers, staffs and students. Thanks to everyone who contributed food, gifts and, most of all, time and effort in helping out and participating in the event. 
   
• Class Makeup Notice: Class was cancelled on Dec. 21 and Jan. 11 due to snow. To make up these days, we will have class on Feb. 15 (beginning of school vacation week) and April 12 (Easter Sunday).
   
• CORRECTION:  The school calendar incorrectly lists March 22 as Easter Sunday.  It is actually a regular school day for us; we will have class on March 22.
   
• If you are assigned to Parent Duty, please be on time.  Refer to the “PARENT DUTY ASSIGNMENT” item below.
