Letter from the Principal
Dear Parents of Chiao Hsin,
Our summer 9-week program went by in the blink of an eye. We had just over 130 students that joined us. The teachers were well prepared and had great interactions with the students. I am well pleased with what I have observed.
This year for our summer program, we had three well-trained volunteer teachers from Taiwan. They brought a renewed energy, teaching methods, and technology into the classroom. The students enjoyed having these teachers with proven academic results.
The English and Math teachers were exceptional as well. They have provided great support and tools for our students to be prepared for the upcoming fall. It was truly a productive summer for all of them.
The afternoon activities and workshops included swimming, arts and craft, Chinese cultural learning, Kung Fu, dance, knitting, graphic design, and baking. For field trips, we went to Legoland, California Science Center, Underwood Family Farm, and the Aquarium of the Pacific. It’s needless to say that the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves this summer.
I especially want to give my appreciation to the many students that have joined us just for the summer. We have enjoyed them being part of the family and we will miss them. They, along with all the other students have created a memorable summer for us all.
Our fall session will begin on August 10th with the Alhambra school district, with Montebello and Garvey school district to follow on 8/20 and 8/23. Our transportation service to all the schools will resume as before. If you’re new, please help your child on the first day to recognize our teachers and bus.
The Friday elective classes will start on 8/24. Please register during the first week if you have not done so already.
This fall, we have 200 students enrolled. As safety is our top priority, you can feel confident that your child is in good hands. We have streamlined many of our internal process including our new attendance procedure. On 8/17, we will have an informative Welcome Orientation meeting to update all the parents on what’s new and changing. The only way this school can improve is to have the parents actively participate and work closely with us to develop your child academically as well as building positive and healthy characters. A separate invite will be sent out ahead of time. We look forward to seeing all of you.

一轉眼，為期九個星期的暑期夏令營即將結束。
2018-這一年的暑期，我們迎來了130多位學生。不論是英丶數課或是中文課，任課老師們都盡心盡力的為孩子預備了很好的教材，孩子們和老師之間也有良好的互動，每當我到各班去觀課的時候，我不但心喜，而且深受感動。
今年的[ 僑心暑期夏令營 ]迎來了來自台灣的三位主修教育而且非常年輕的志工老師，她們不但活潑有朝氣，而且將最新的科技用在教學上，孩子們的歡笑聲丶讀書聲，此起彼落，讓我十分感動！英丶數班的教師更是聘自學區的専業教師。紮實的七個星期課程，再加上老師們活潑又認真的教學，我看到了孩子們認真學習的過程，更看到了他/她們的優異的成績，我對我自己説我的這些孩子真是太可愛了!我也要向我的家長們説您的孩子今年的暑假，他/她們過得好充實! 因為他/她們 對自己更有信心了。
[ 僑心暑期夏令營 ] 下午的課外活動課程更是精彩：有游泳丶美術丶美勞丶中國文化課程丶功夫丶舞蹈丶各項運動比賽丶編織班，Baking Class丶電影欣賞，今年特為高年級的孩子設立了 Graphic Design平面設計班，相當受歡迎。當然，孩子們最喜歡的還是每週五的郊遊，首先我們去了位於聖地牙哥的Legoland ，California Science Center丶 Underwood Family farm 和Aquarium of Long Beach 更是孩子都愛去的地方。在此，我要向所有來自外地甚至國㚈的孩子，專程參加[ 僑心暑期夏令營 ] 的家長們説聲謝謝，您孩子的到來，帶給我們許多歡樂及美好的回憶，我們所有的老師都很珍惜能夠陪伴孩子度過他們2018年的暑期生活。
2018年秋季班將於八月十日開學，Montebello以及 Garvey 學區學校分別於8/20及8/23開學，除了新生之外，Durham School Bus將按照往例前往學校接您的孩子，請您放心。今年秋季班共有二百位學生，每一位來到僑心的孩子，都是一顆珍貴的種子，我們細心灌溉，使他/她們枝繁葉茂，進而能果實累累。從今年秋季班開始，學校行政系統將完全電腦化，所有學生的進丶出以及安全管理以及和家長們所有信函將完全使用電腦，為此，我們特訂8/17舉行< 返校日家長會議 >( 我們將另有通知 )，請您務必參加 。學校在成長，作為家長的您，是否也能積極的配合呢?
周五選修班亦將於8/24正式開始，您可以在開學的第一周向李老師登記，謝謝您的合作!
