Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
On behalf of our teachers and administration, welcome to the Mid-Jersey Chinese School. We hope you all had a great summer.
As we entering our 55th year, we are working diligently to ensure we provide the most optimal learning experience for our students. This year we are making couple of important changes based on feedback and suggestions from our students and parents:
1: Newly revised syllabus to help student feel what they learned in class is both practical and relatable.
2: Combined KA, CS1 and CSL2 to form a 2 year class to enable students more time to build their Chinese fundamentals. This is our new “Chinese 101” class. Teacher will evaluate students at the end of the school year to determine their readiness. Qualified students can either move up to CSL3 or 1A.
3 Combined PC7 & PC8 classes as one. This will provide our advanced students more time for immersion. This new class will be called “Advanced Chinese”.
Our fall semester starts at 9:30am this Saturday, September 9, 2017.
Please plan to arrive early to help your child find their classroom. Classes and room numbers will be posted at the main entrance of the classroom building. Volunteers will be stationed at the school entrance to assist you. Please remind your child that eating is prohibited inside the classroom and use caution when walking on the stairway to the upper building.
We have many planned activities this year. The BBQ on September 17 at Bicentennial Park , East Brunswick will be our first. It will be a great opportunity to meet new families and talk about your fun-filled summer over hot dogs and burgers. More details to come this Saturday. Look forward to seeing you all.
Our school communicates primarily via e-mail. If there is a change in your email, please inform us at your earliest convenience.
Regards,
MJCS Administration and PTO

親愛的家⾧、監護⼈與學⽣們，
僅代表教師與⾏政⼯作⼈員，歡迎⼤家回到中部中⽂學校、也歡迎新成員加 ⼊這個⼤家庭！相信⼤家都有⼀個愉快的暑假假期！
在進⼊創校第五⼗五個年頭，我們正為確認提供學⽣們極致的學習經驗⽽努⼒著！今年，我們已就家⾧與學⽣的建議與反饋，著⼿於幾項重要的改變。
這些改變包括：
第一、修改教學⼤綱，讓學⽣們感受到，他們所學到的中⽂與⽣活相關、實際好⽤。
第二、整合傳統國語幼稚班, 雙語⼀班與雙語⼆班，成為⼀個兩年的課程，讓學⽣們有更充⾜的時間打下紮實的中⽂基礎。我們將這個課程定名為【中⽂101】課程。⽼師將會在學期末評估學⽣的程度，決定學⽣是否已經打好應有的基礎。達到標準的學⽣將可升⼊雙語三年級或傳統⼀甲課程。
第三、整合實⽤中⽂七年級與實⽤中⽂⼋年級，藉此，讓⾼年級同學有更多的時間融會貫通、學以致⽤。我們將這個課程定名為【進階中⽂】課程
本週六，九⽉九⽇上午九時三⼗分，是中部中⽂學校2017年秋季班的開學⽇！
請計劃早點抵達學校找教室。學校將在⼤⾨⼊⼜及教學⼤樓中張貼公佈班級及教室號碼的海報。義⼯們會在⼤⾨⼜協助⼤家儘快找到教室。此外，請家⾧及監護⼈們提醒您們的孩⼦，教室中嚴禁飲⾷；同時，使⽤⼤樓階梯時要特別注意安全。
這學年中，我們已經安排好了幾項聯誼活動。其中，九⽉⼗七⽇在東布朗市的Bicentennial Park舉辦的烤⾁活動，將是這⼀連串活動的序曲。這是⼀個與新⽣、舊⽣們唔⾯、在燒烤美⾷中話家常、分享暑假活動趣聞的好機會！細節隨後公佈！期待⼤家把握機會、踴躍參與！
電⼦郵件將是學校與學⽣及家⾧們聯繫的⽅式。因此，如果您的電⼦郵件變更了，請儘快通知學校！
