亲爱的家长们,

本周日全校家长大会(All-Parent Meeting This Sunday):
日期(date): Sunday 04/28/2013 ，时间(Time): 10:00am-11:30am,  地点(Location): Cafeteria

校长林骏和家长会长姚大纯将于4/28/2013召集全校家长大会。学校领导将给家长们介绍下一学年学校的领导结构和注册信息。相关议题如下：

• 领导结构
• 新学年注册
• 教师队伍
• 课程安排和选课指南

Principal Jun Lin and PC Chair DaChun Yao will host the All-parent meeting on 4/28/2013. The school leadership will share with parents next academic year’s school leadership structures and registration information. The following topics will be covered:

大纽约华夏中文学校教学信息反馈分析:

2012-13学年，2012-13学年，大纽约华夏中文学校共有340多名学生(约二百三十个家庭)。这次学校的教学信息反馈调查总共收到70份学生家长填写的反馈表， 占总家庭数约30%。教育委员会的评估小组对教学信息反馈表作了一定的分析和研究。提交这70份反馈表的家长的孩子集中在幼儿/学前班，1-3年级马立平班和5-9年级美洲华语/标准中文班。在收回的70份反馈表中，针对中文教材问题，绝大多数学前/幼儿班、1-3年级马立平班和5-9年级美洲华语/标准中文班的学生家长满意或者非常满意HXGNY现在所使用的中文教材， 并认为教材的难度 适中。与往年比较，家长们普遍认为自己的小孩对学中文的兴趣增加或继续保持(图4)。绝大多数的家长也希望自己的孩子在下一学年继续使用相同的中文教材。

关于教材对孩子能力的影响， 超过一半家长认为目前的教材对听（54%）和读（70%）有很大帮助，认为目前的教材对说和写的帮助很大或一般的各占近一半。总体来说，家长们对HXGNY目前的教学状况基本持满意态度(83%满意，13%一般，其余未回答)。我们也注意到，在收回的70份反馈表，低年级（1-4年级）美洲华语和高年级（4-6年级）马立平班的家长反馈信息不足。因此，我们还将继续倾听家长们对低年级（1-4年级）美洲华语教材和高年级马立平教材的反馈意见。请点击查看详细的教学信息反馈分析.

为了更多地听取家长，老师和学生们的意见，以便继续改进我们今后的教学工作，教育委员会在H-room的办公室旁设立一个“教学意见箱”。希望大家对进一步提高学校的教学和管理工作提出您的宝贵意见。
