HXGNY admin team is in the final phase of preparation work for the new school year starting 09/08. This year, our number of registered students have surpassed 400.  This great accomplishment is a result of the collective effort from our teachers, parents, and volunteers.  To avoid over-sized classes and to ensure delivery of high quality education to your children, the school is adding an additional class to each grade from PreK to 4th grade.  To keep balanced class size, the school is making minor adjustment on students’ class assignment based mainly on class of choice at registration and the registration date.  Next week, teachers from each class will be in touch with the parents.  The school will also publish school opening day information such as classroom assignment, etc.  Please check your email or visit our web site at www.hxgny.org.  The fast expansion of the school also gives us an opportunity to recruit more highly experienced and dedicated teachers to our faculty staff.  We believe that in the new school year, our school will be stronger and better than ever.A larger school also needs more volunteers. If you are familiar with our school and are willing to help on the school opening day to distribute text books, providing directions to new parents, and if you are willing to serve as class parents, please email hxgnyadmin@googlegroups.com.华夏中文学校大纽约分校将于九月八日开学为迎接学校开学，学校管理团队正在紧锣密鼓地进行最后的准备工作。 教师团队调整、教室安排、教材购买、班级设置等工作都已基本就绪。 今年我校注册的少儿学生人数达到400余人。 学校的迅速成长是全体老师、家长、志愿者们共同努力的结果， 但这也对学校的管理工作提出了更高的要求。为防止班级规模过大，保证教学质量，我们在PreK至四年级的每一个年级都各增开一个班。 为避免各班人数失衡， 我们以学生原注册班级、注册时间先后为主要依据对部分班级学生进行小幅度调整。 下周各班级的任课老师将会与家长们联系，学校也将公布各班级教室等信息，请大家注意查收email或访问我校网站 www. hxgny.org。学校的扩大也使得我们有机会聘请更多的资深教师加盟我校，强化我们的教师团队，相信在新的一年里，我们将会拥有一个更大更强更好的学校。

学校的成长也伴随着对志愿者需求的增加，如果您愿意担任您孩子所在班级的家长代表，请联系hxgnyadmin@googlegroups.com。如果你愿意在开学日帮助学校参与分发教科书，疏导交通等工作，也请与我们联系。
