PTA Newsletter 5/9/2018

Dear Parents,
The school is recruiting parents to be Board members. All Board members are volunteers trying to make WVCLS a great school to learn Chinese. Basically, the Board handles all the administrative and social activities of the school. Finally, by volunteering, you show your commitment to Chinese school which hopefully this will reflect on your child's commitment to learn Chinese.

Here are some myths some may have. 

1. I do not know Chinese. Most of the meetings are held in English. Some positions do not need to know Chinese.
2. I do not know what I can do. At the beginning, you can attend the meetings and observe. Then later you can decide which position best fit you and pair up with another Board member for a position. 
3. I do not have time. On average, each Board member may spend a few hours each month. That is not much considering you can have an influence in how your child learn Chinese at the school. 

As you can see, a Board member does not require much except your dedication to creating a better education for your child. So consider joining the Board. The Board welcomes you.
Here are some important dates to note.

May 11: You are invited to attend the last Board meeting of the year to hear about the activities planned for the graduation ceremony. This meeting is a great opportunity to experience what it is like to be a Board member. The meeting begins at 7:15 PM in Room B108.

May 18: Putonghua Final Exam (for grade 4 and above). Last day for early registration for next school year. Returning students can register on line at https://www.wvcls.org/registration.html.
