Dear Parents,

　　Welcome back from our National Holiday break. I trust everyone had a pleasant and joyous holiday. It was wonderful to see all the children again as the campus was very lonely and quiet without them here!

　　歡迎從我們的國(guó)慶假期回來(lái)。我相信每個(gè)人都度過(guò)了一個(gè)愉快的假期。很高興再次見到所有的孩子，因?yàn)闆](méi)有他們?cè)谶@里， 整個(gè)校園顯得非常的孤獨(dú)和安靜!
 

　　Prior to leaving for break the students and staff at ZWWC celebrated the holiday with a barbecue, live music by our students and performances by the students. Everyone joined in and had a pleasant evening with friends and teachers before leaving for the holiday. Our many thanks to Student Services and the Student Council for making this event possible.

　　在假期前，ZWWC學(xué)生和全體員工用燒烤、音樂(lè)和表演來(lái)慶祝。大家都很享受這次的活動(dòng)，在假期前，所有的學(xué)生、朋友和老師們度過(guò)了一個(gè)愉快的夜晚。我們非常感謝學(xué)生處和學(xué)生對(duì)這次活動(dòng)的組織和安排。
 

　　We return to a very busy time at ZWWC. The students are settling into their schedules and we are half way through the first quarter of the school year. Parents are reminded that they can check their student’s grades and homework results on the SchoolPal site. Your password is the same as your child’s. Please be sure to take a look as it will keep you informed on your students progress.

　　我們又回到了ZWWC非常繁忙的時(shí)刻。學(xué)生們正在計(jì)劃他們的學(xué)習(xí)和課程表，這周我們已經(jīng)過(guò)了這個(gè)學(xué)年的第一季度的一半。我們想提醒家長(zhǎng)們，請(qǐng)?jiān)谛毶喜榭磳W(xué)生的成績(jī)和家庭作業(yè)。您的密碼與您孩子的密碼相同。請(qǐng)務(wù)必查看校寶，以便隨時(shí)了解您孩子的學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)度。
 

　　As we firmly believe that teachers never stop learning and are always working to become better and stronger at their vocation, we welcome Mr. David Roderick to our campus. Mr. Roderick is the Director of Professional Development. He will hold trainings for all teachers to instruct them in preparing students academically for Western Universities. He will also meet with teachers individually and in small groups to assist them in perfecting their teaching skills. We thank Mr. Roderick for working with us and appreciate the opportunity for continued growth.

　　我們堅(jiān)信，教師們永無(wú)停止的學(xué)習(xí)和一直致力于在自己的職業(yè)中變得更好和更專業(yè)，因此我們邀請(qǐng)大衛(wèi)·羅德里克先生來(lái)到我們的校園。羅德里克先生是教學(xué)發(fā)展總監(jiān)。他將為所有教師進(jìn)行培訓(xùn)，指導(dǎo)他們?nèi)绾闻囵B(yǎng)學(xué)生進(jìn)入國(guó)外大學(xué)。他還將單獨(dú)和小組會(huì)見教師，協(xié)助他們提高和完善教學(xué)技能。我們感謝羅德里克先生成為我們的合作伙伴和提供持續(xù)的成長(zhǎng)機(jī)會(huì)。
 

　　There has been much discussion around the school regarding Advanced Placement classes and which classes a student should take. For your viewing I have included a revised list of the top twelve AP Tests according to College Board that are the most popular (please note this list has been altered to allow for classes that may be offered in China). This list is not a recommendation but for information only.

　　學(xué)校里有很多關(guān)于AP和學(xué)生應(yīng)該上哪些課程的討論。為了便于您查看，我已根據(jù)較受歡迎的大學(xué)董事會(huì)列出了12項(xiàng)AP考試的修訂名單(請(qǐng)注意，該名單已進(jìn)行了修改，以允許在中國(guó)提供課程)。這份名單不是推薦名單，僅供參考。
 

　　Best regards,

　　Phyllis Roderick
