Parking Lot Update

With the joining of many new families, we are running out of parking space close to the main entrance quickly. The administration team worked on this issue and now the west parking lot is added. School staff will open the entrance facing the west parking lot between 9:20 to 9:50 AM for your convenience. Other time please keep this entrance closed for safety issue.  Parents are encouraged to use this big parking lot.

由于学生人数增加,原有停车场不够用。请大家使用学校西面的大停车场。早上9:20 到 9:50 有管理人员开专用进口,方便大家从C翼 进入教室。

Recap: First Day of School

新学年迎来了开门红。开学第一天,华夏大纽约迎来了众多新、老同学和家长们。教师们以饱满的热情开始了新学年的第一课。在广大志愿者和家长的共同努力下,各项工作有条不紊地展开;同学们迅速适应了新环境,捧着散发油墨清香的书本,开始了学习中文的新旅程。在宽敞明亮的休息区,在体育馆里、运动场上,到处洋溢着欢声笑语和喜悦气氛。我们为学校的不断壮大感到由衷的喜悦,为属于这个团结向上的华人社区而自豪。
