Dear Parents, 

I hope you're all staying cool during these heatwave days. Here is our program's update for October.

TWDL Parent Worshop /双向双语家长工作坊
Our first TWDL parent workshop will be held on Thursday, October 17th, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM. I have incorporated feedback from the parent survey into this year’s workshop. During the session, we will share practical strategies that parents can use at home to support their child’s Mandarin learning, as well as their overall academic development through a parent interview. We will also learn some helpful phrases for parents to use at home. Additionally, I will introduce the apps and curricula we are using-Level Learning, Better Immersion, etc.—and guide you on how to navigate and leverage them effectively at home.

我们的首次双语教学家长工作坊将于10月17日（星期四）晚上7:00至8:00举行。我继续将家长调查的反馈融入了今年的工作坊内容。在此次工作坊中，我们将通过一个访谈的形式，让我们的一位家长分享一些实用的策略，帮助家长在家支持孩子的中文学习以及整体学业发展。我们还会学习一些家长在家中可以使用的实用短语。此外，我还将介绍我们正在使用的应用程序和课程——如Level Learning、Better Immersion等，并指导大家如何在家中使用和充分利用这些资源。

Parent Teacher Conference /家长教师一对一会议

Our teachers have held one-on-one conferences with all parents. Thank you for taking the time to meet with your child’s teacher and gaining valuable insights into their overall performance at school. If you haven't had the opportunity yet, please feel free to reach out—we're here to support you in every way possible.

During the conference, teachers will share assessment results such as Mandarin Reading proficiency (Level Learning), Literably (English reading proficiency), BPST IV (TK-2nd), NWEA Math, and NWEA Reading. We assess students' proficiency levels using multiple assessments. The data we collect helps us guide their learning and provides feedback to adjust our teaching accordingly.

Click on the link to view the grade-level benchmarks.By comparing your child’s current test results, you can see how they are performing. If your child is below grade level, please don’t worry—we will work together to understand the reasons and identify ways to support their improvement. For students who are at or above grade level, we will continue to encourage them to maintain their excellent progress and aim even higher. It’s also important to compare their current results with previous assessments to track their individual growth.

我们的教师已经与所有家长进行了单独的会议。感谢您抽出时间与孩子的老师见面，了解他们在学校的整体表现。如果您还没有机会参加会议，请随时联系我们——我们在各方面都愿意为您提供支持。

在会议期间，教师将分享评估结果，如普通话阅读水平（Level Learning）、Literably（英语阅读水平）、BPST IV（TK-2年级）、NWEA数学和NWEA阅读。我们通过多项评估来测量学生的水平。我们收集的数据有助于我们指导学生的学习，并提供反馈以调整教学方法。

点击链接查看年级基准。通过比较您孩子的当前测试结果，您可以了解他们的表现。如果您的孩子低于年级水平，请不用担心——我们会一起了解原因，并找到支持他们进步的方法。对于达到或超过年级水平的学生，我们将继续鼓励他们保持优异的进步，并争取更高的目标。同时，将当前的结果与之前的评估进行比较，以跟踪学生的个人成长也是非常重要的。

Wishing you a fantastic October! 

Ms. Wu
