| Dear Parents/Guardians,
After a successful Lunar New Year celebration we are looking forward all the events that we will be planning for the end of the school year. Please review our weekly messages in the teacher newsletters as we will be adding information about future events soon. One important event below is the Lunar New Year Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast. There is an RSVP link: LNY Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast. Spring is in the air and that means we’re gearing up for an uptick in behaviors. Traditionally we see students start to pick up the extra energy from the sun and heat and that energy often transfers to questionable behaviors. Also, please remind your students to avoid using smartphone or smart watches during school hours to avoid distraction. This is especially true for 5th graders who are antsy and ready to leave the elementary world to middle school. Let’s work together to help the students make good choices in the rest of the year. We appreciate any and all support at home!
Only a few days till Spring Break! We hope you can have a restful week!
Sincerely, Ms. Tan and Mr. Shelton |
亲爱的家长/监护人，
在成功举办农历新年庆祝活动后，我们满心期待着在学年结束前其它各项活动的顺利展开。请查看教师通讯中的每周消息，因为我们将很快添加有关未来活动的信息。最近的一项重要活动是家长会筹办的农历新年志愿者答谢早餐会，请回复RSVP：LNY 志愿者答谢早餐。
春天的气息扑面而来，这意味着我们正在为改善学生的各种行为做好准备。 传统上，我们看到学生开始从阳光和热量中获取额外的能量，而这些能量常常会转化为有问题的行为。另外，请家长们提醒学生在学校上课时间不能用手机或者智能手表。对于五年级学生来说尤其如此，他们焦躁不安，准备离开小学进入中学。让我们共同努力，帮助学生在今年剩下的时间里做出正确的选择。我们感谢的所有家庭的支持！
距离春假仅剩几天！我们希望您能度过一个轻松的一周！
真挚地， 谭校长 and Mr. Shelton |

暑期学校更新：
今年我们将再次举办汉语补习暑期班。小学暑期学校项目旨在为需要汉语支持的二、三、四年级新生提供支持。该项目将重点关注汉语读写能力，特别是口语和阅读。老师正在准备他们的推荐，如果您的孩子被推荐参加暑期学校，我们将很快与您联系并发出邀请。该计划从7月9日到7月31日进行。最终决定使用哪所小学尚未确定。对于针对二年级、三年级和四年级学生的英语/数学暑期学校，学区正在审查学生的数据，并将很快发送邀请。 （查看数据后，景美只有两名学生符合英语/数学暑期班的资格。）对于我们当前的五年级学生，我会根据年中评估数据发送建议。 |
| Drills in March and April (School communication to Prek to 5th Gr.)
In March we conducted an earthquake drill and practiced what we would do if we were at school in the event of an earthquake. Students learned about Drop, Cover, and Hold On and then we practiced.
Please talk to your child about our drill today. An important next step might be planning a drill in your own home and checking to make sure you are prepared in the event of an earthquake or other natural disaster.
For more information on earthquakes and general preparedness, you might want to visit the Washington Emergency Management Division (https://mil.wa.gov/personal) or Great Washington ShakeOut (https://www.shakeout.org/washington/index.html) websites.
In April, we will be conducting a fire drill and practicing evacuating the building and accounting for everyone. During a fire evacuation, students are taught to quickly and quietly exit the building. They meet on the field at an assigned location and stay silent while attendance is taken to ensure all people have safely evacuated.
Please talk with your student about preparing for emergencies and disasters such as fires. Encourage them to talk about their concerns and express their feelings. Emphasize that even though sometimes things happen that we may not expect, there are lots of things we can do to help us stay safe.
For more information on fire safety, you might want to visit the National Fire Protection Association “Kids” page at http://www.sparky.org/ or their parent resource page at http://www.sparky.org/parents.

三月和四月的演习（学校面对学前班至五年级的沟通）
三月份我们进行了地震演习，演练了如果我们在学校的话，如果发生地震我们会怎么做。学生们学习了“蹲下”、“掩护”和“坚持”，然后我们进行练习。
请与您的孩子谈论我们今天的演习。下一步重要的一步可能是计划在自己家里进行演习，并检查以确保您为发生地震或其他自然灾害做好了准备。
有关地震和一般准备工作的更多信息，您可能需要访问华盛顿应急管理部门 (https://mil.wa.gov/personal) 或 Great Washington ShakeOut (https://www.shakeout.org/washington/index.html) 网站。
四月，我们将进行消防演习，练习疏散大楼并为每个人进行清点。
在火灾疏散过程中，学生们被教导要快速、安静地撤离大楼。他们在现场指定地点集合，并在点名时保持沉默，以确保所有人都安全疏散。
请与您的学生讨论如何为火灾等紧急情况和灾难做好准备。鼓励他们谈论他们的担忧并表达他们的感受。强调即使有时会发生我们意想不到的事情，我们也可以做很多事情来帮助我们保持安全。
有关消防安全的更多信息，您可能需要访问国家消防协会“儿童”页面 http://www.sparky.org/ 或其家长资源页面 http://www.sparky.org/parents。 |
