JM: Family Newsletter 8.20, 2024 景美家长简报 2024年8月20日

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at Jing Mei Elementary!

We hope you are enjoying the beautiful summer in the greater Seattle area, except the thunder storm we had this past weekend. We are looking forward to welcoming back our students and seeing how much they've grown over the summer.  We want to hear about their summer adventures!

This communication is intended to provide some general information including a few important dates.  There will be additional emails and information coming out in the future.

Prek-5th Grade Families' Hopes and Dreams

This is an invitation for all Prek to 5th Grade families to share your hopes and dreams for your child. Your comments will inspire us as a community! Our staff will review your comments at our training on 8/28. Thank you for your partnership! Click here to share--> My Hopes and Dreams 我对新学年的期望

As our district is aligning all school website's designs, I am sending my newsletter in the email format instead of the website. We will be utilizing the new website soon.

Throughout the year each week, we will send Principal Messages via the classroom newsletters so please pay attention to your homeroom teacher's emails.  We often announce time sensitive events and sign-ups so please pay attention to our school emails and sometimes via Talking Point/text messages.

K-5 Dismissal Survey: please let us know how your child is going home for the first two weeks: Microsoft Forms

We look forward to seeing you again and meeting our new families.  Jing Mei is a very special community because you are a part of it!

Sincerely,

Principal Tan

亲爱的家长/监护人，

欢迎来到景美小学 2024-2025 学年！

除了上周末的雷雨，我们希望您能享受大西雅图地区美丽的夏天。我们期待着欢迎我们的学生回来，看看他们在夏天成长了多少。我们想听听他们的暑期冒险经历！

此通讯旨在提供一些一般信息，包括一些重要日期。未来还会有其他电子邮件和信息发布。

学前班至五年级家庭的希望和梦想

这是对所有学前班至五年级家庭的邀请，请他们分享您对孩子的希望和梦想。您的评论将激励我们作为一个社区！我们的工作人员将在 8 月 28 日的培训中审查您的评论。感谢您的合作！单击此处分享--> 我的希望和梦想我对新学年的期望

由于我们学区正在协调所有学校网站的设计，我将以电子邮件格式而不是网站格式发送我的通讯。我们将很快使用新网站。

全年每周，我们都会透过老师发送校长信息，因此请留意班主任的电子邮件。我们经常宣布时间敏感的活动和报名，因此请留意我们的学校电子邮件，有时还会通过 Talking Point/短信通知。

K-5 放学计划问卷：请让我们知道您的孩子前两周回家的情况：Microsoft Forms

我们期待再次见到您并结识我们的新家庭。景美是一个非常特别的社区，因为您是其中的一员！

诚挚的，

谭校长
