04/18/2020 Newsletter 學校通訊

Dear MJCS families,

We hope that everyone is safe and healthy! 

Spring break has comes to an end soon, we will resume remote online education this coming Saturday, April 18. Welcome back!

Several points that I wish to address:

1. We are informed that the Churchill Junior High school facility is not available until May 2nd, 2020, we will continue to utilize Zoom meeting for language classes. Cyber security is important, so the link below contains NJCCIC's （The New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell ）safety tips on how to make using Zoom and other video-teleconferencing (VTC) platforms securely. Please read and make sure to follow:

2. Essay and Drawing contest is this Saturday. Topics and rules were sent on April 7, hope our students were all had fun preparing for the contest. Contest details and essay paper are attached again with this newsletter. 

3. For culture classes, some teachers are offering online classes, that includes Lion dance, Zumba and Yoga classes. For those culture class teachers who are not offering online classes, we will issue tuition refund to the parents should the facility remain closed through out the semester.

4. ACS (National Council of Associations of Chinese Language Schools) is sponsoring a "Teacher Appreciation Card Design Contest", all students are welcomed to participate. Please see attached contest rules for details. 

5. To those who placed an order for cloth masks through TECO （Taipei Economic and Cultural Center), TECO has received the shipments and will mail those to MJCS by the end of April. We will keep you well informed on the delivery, along with where and how to get the masks you ordered.

Again, please stay well and healthy.

Best Regards,

Beverly Roun, Principal 

親愛的紐澤西中部中文學校家庭成員們，

在世局這特殊情況中，但願大家都平安健康！春假已經結束，本週六恢復線上教學課程！歡迎歸隊！

以下，有幾個重點要提醒或與大家分享：

第一，Churchill Junior High school 將持續關閉到五月二日，因此，春假過後，我們還是繼續以Zoom meeting進行中文課程教學。網絡安全非常重要，因此，請務必閱讀且遵循以下這由紐澤西州政府相關單位提供的視訊平台使用安全提醒與建議內容:

第二，本週六將如期舉行作文及繪畫比賽。詳細辦法已經在四月七日公布，相信我們的學生們已經很開心地進行了準備的工作。隨函再附上一次比賽規則辦法及作文稿紙。

第三，關於文化課課程，有幾位教師已經或將開始採行網路教學方式持續授課；包括舞獅、瑜珈及尊巴舞。未能採行線上教學的文化課程，我們將退回學費；如果校舍因疫情狀況而持續關閉到學期末的話。

第四，全美中文學校聯合總會舉辦「謝師卡設計」比賽，截稿日期是五月九日。請學生們踴躍參加！比賽細節請見附件。

第五，透過台北經濟文化辦事處訂購布口罩的大家庭成員們請留意，口罩已經寄達紐約，我們預計在四月底收到布口罩，屆時，我們會另行通知取貨地點與方法。

請大家多保重！健康平安度過這個非常時期！

校長 莊麗鳳謹啟
