Dear Parents, 

Here are the program updates for Week 27-28. 

We are concluding T2 assessments and finalizing the report cards. Parents will receive the report cards by 2/29. Thank you for your support during the assessment period. For our upcoming TWDL parent committee meeting, we will also discuss assessments and strategies to enhance student academic performance. Particulary, our first cohort, the current 3rd grade class will be taking SBAC, the Californian Starndarized test in April. 

24-25 TWDL Enrollment | 24-25 学年招生

For the 24-25 school year enrollment, our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program already has a waitlist, however, we still need more students for our Kindergarten classes. In order to establish three solid Kindergarten classes, we still need to recruit more children. Many of our prospective families are referred to us by our current parents. I would like to ask you once again to help spread the word and pass along the information. Here is the Enrollment Interest Form, and here is the program brochure.
