下學年新校址

New School Location

由於 Somers School 下學年無法繼續讓我們租用，過去幾個月來本校的董事們廣泛的尋求新校址。目前我們正在跟 Briarcliff Manor School 進行租約協商。學校了解這個新地點將會對部分的北威家庭造成不便，因此希望能盡可能幫助大家解決困難。學校將于三月十日舉辦座談會，學校董事及校長將在場為大家目前協商的進度，以及解答大家的疑問。座談會將于九點半在 220 室舉行。歡迎大家踊躍參加。

As most of you are aware, NWCS will be relocated for the next school year. Currently the school is in the final contract negotiation stage with Briarcliff Manor School. We are fully aware of the potential inconvenience this move might cause for some families, and will try our best to ease the difficulties associated with the move for you. A town hall meeting will take place on 03/10/2007 to address any concerns or questions you may have. Our board members and the principal will be there. Everyone is welcome to attend. The meeting will start at 9:30 in Room 220.

每週通訊發行

Newsletter Distribution

為節省本校人力資源，自三月十七日開始，我們將不再影印發行每週通訊。學校將透過電子郵件發行並在北威網站上刊登每週通訊。如果您從未在電子信箱內接收過每週通訊，或是需要更正您的電子信箱，請立即跟校長聯係。

The hard-copy newsletter will no longer be distributed, beginning 3/17/2007. Newsletters will continue to be distributed via e-mail and posted on the school website. If you have not received any soft-copy newsletters, or need to update your e-mail address, please contact the principal right away.

家長值日

Parent On-Duty

家長值日是北威中文學校一個重要的傳統。我們非常需要每一位家長擔當起這份責任。請各位家長預先查看家長值日表，在您當值的那一天准時報到。如果您有時間上的衝突，請提早安排替換人選。細節請看北威網站的Description of on duty parents' tasks （在家長值日表的link之下)。

Parent-on-duty has been an important tradition at NWCS. Every parent's participation is the key to the success of the school. We ask that you check the Parent Duty roster in advance and fulfill your duty accordingly. If a scheduling conflict arises, it is your responsibility to make necessary prior arrangements. The absentee will be fined $50.00. For more details, please see the description of the on duty parent's tasks on the NWCS website (click the Parent Duty Roster link).

本校誠徵人選

Openings at NWCS

為籌備下學年的開始，本校目前在尋覓適當的人選來接替校長，副校長，祕書，財務，董事等多項職位。北威近四十年的優久歷史完全要歸功於所有熱心的家長們對學校無私的服務及參與。我們在此呼籲每一位家長挺身參與學校的事務。如果您有興趣，或有意推薦人選，請向校長張振坤聯係。

The school is now seeking candidates for several administrative positions, including Principal, Vice Principal, Secretary, Treasurer, and five board members. NWCS is strictly a volunteer-based operation. Since 1969, NWCS parents have given freely of their time to support the school in its educational mission. We encourage all parents to become involved in school affairs, and to carry our school forward to the next year. If you are interested in a more active role in the school, or know someone who may be interested, please contact the principal, CK Chang.

編輯更正啟事

Editorial Correction

本校前期通訊刊印新任摺紙班教師名字錯誤。我們在此更正：張老師的名字是張世才。編輯室深表歉意。
