Dear TWDL Parents, 

Lunar New Year Assembly & Evening Showcase|农历新年学校集会和新春晚会
Last Friday, we held a successful Lunar New Year school assembly on campus and a wonderful evening showcase at JLHS PAC. Our students were true superstars, confidently showcasing their language skills and talents on stage.  Some videos are shared below, and more will be coming soon. A big shout-out to Vince, our parent volunteer, for recording the showcase and for his effort in helping preserve these memorable moments for our students and families.
Thank you to the many parents who shared  kind words and thoughtful feedback. As always, teamwork makes the dream work. We are continually striving to grow and improve, so please take a moment to complete the survey and share any constructive feedback to help us plan for next year.
Lunar New Year Booth Activity|农历新年摊位活动

Thank you to all the parents who have signed up to volunteer! The activity will take place on Friday, 2/13, from 12:00–2:00 PM. Parent volunteers will arrive at 11:30 AM to help with setup. Teachers have signed up their classes to visit the booths. This year, each class will have approximately 20 minutes (5 minutes longer than in previous years) to participate. Parents may host 2–3 classes during some time slots.
For our most recent Cultural Bites TWDL parent workshop, I would also like to give a special shout-out to our parent volunteers — Lauren, Sylvia, Kat, Marilou, Yuyan, Colleen, and Sheron  for their wonderful support and dedication. If I miss anyone, please let me know. 

February TWDL Committee Meeting Rescheduled to March 25| 二月份家长会改期到3/25

Due to a scheduling conflict, our committee meeting originally scheduled for 2/25 has been rescheduled to 3/25. The parent workshop previously planned for 3/25 will now take place on April 29. Our final TWDL Committee meeting of the school year will be held on May 20.

Trimester 2 Assessment ｜第二学期测试

Trimester 2 assessments are beginning. Teachers have shared testing schedules and details through their weekly newsletters. Report cards will be sent home on 2/26. Please talk with your child about the purpose of these assessments. They help teachers understand students’ current progress and determine how we can adjust instruction to best support their learning. Encourage your child to try their best and show what they have learned.  Good night sleep and more blue  berries  might be helpful! :)
