JM: Family Newsletter September 2026 景美家长月报 2026年9月25日

Dear Jing Mei Phoenix Families,

We have had a wonderful start to the school year and are excited to welcome many new students, including 96 kindergarteners, to our Phoenix community. We currently serve approximately 620 students from PreK through 5th grade.

Students are settling into classroom and school routines, making new friends, and getting to know their teachers. While some students adjust quickly, others may need additional time and support. We encourage you to check in with your child regularly and share any concerns so we can work together to support their social-emotional well-being.

As children learn and grow, they will occasionally encounter social or behavioral challenges. These moments are a normal part of development and provide valuable learning opportunities. When school staff reach out, it is not a reflection on a child or family. Rather, it is an opportunity for us to partner together, problem-solve, and help students develop the skills they need to be successful. Thank you for your trust and partnership as we support your child together.

To better support students, our school now has a Student Success Coordinator (SSC) who works alongside our school counselor and principal to support students' social-emotional learning and behavioral needs. This position was added by the district in elementary schools that do not have an assistant principal. Many families know Ms. Vera Pan from her previous role as our secretary and attendance specialist. This year, she transitioned into the SSC role. We are also pleased to welcome Mr. Justin Henley, who has joined our office team.

If your child brings home a Phoenix Ticket, please celebrate with them! Phoenix Tickets recognize students who demonstrate our Big 3 Expectations:

S: Solve Problems 解决问题

A: Always Show Respect 尊重

M: Make Good Decisions 做出好的决定

Students in grades 1-5 are currently completing fall assessments in English, math, and Mandarin. These assessments help teachers understand each student's strengths and needs so they can provide targeted instruction and prepare for upcoming parent-teacher conferences in the next two months.

Thank you for your partnership as we establish routines for transportation, lunch, recess, arrival, and dismissal. Your support helps us maintain a safe, welcoming, and positive learning environment for all students.

Sincerely,

Principal Tan

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival from SSC Ms. Pan, Counselor Ms. Brenneman, Principal Ms. Tan

亲爱的景美凤凰家庭：

新学年开始了！我们非常高兴欢迎许多新生加入凤凰大家庭，其中包括96位幼儿园新生。目前，景美小学共有约620名学前班至五年级学生。

学生们正在逐步适应课堂和学校生活，结交新朋友，并熟悉新的老师和学习环境。有些孩子很快就能融入新的节奏，而有些孩子则需要更多时间和支持。我们鼓励您经常与孩子交流，了解他们在学校的感受和经历。如有任何您关心的问题，也欢迎随时与我们联系，让我们携手支持孩子的社交情感发展与成长。

在成长过程中，孩子们难免会遇到一些社交或行为方面的挑战。这些情况都是成长过程中正常且宝贵的学习机会。当学校与家庭联系时，并不意味着孩子或家庭做错了什么，而是希望通过家校合作，共同帮助孩子学习解决问题、处理冲突，并发展未来成功所需的重要能力。感谢您一直以来对学校的信任与支持，让我们共同陪伴孩子成长。

为了更好地支持学生，今年学校新增了学生成功协调员（Student Success Coordinator, SSC）职位。SSC将与学校辅导员和校长紧密合作，为学生提供社交情感学习和行为方面的支持。该职位由学区设置于没有副校长的小学。许多家庭都认识曾担任学校秘书兼出勤专员的潘琼宇女士（Ms. Vera Pan），今年她转任SSC一职。同时，我们也非常高兴欢迎Justin Henley先生加入学校办公室团队。

如果您的孩子带回了凤凰卡（Phoenix Ticket），请与他们一起庆祝！凤凰卡旨在表扬展现学校"三大目标"（Big 3 Expectations）的学生：

S：解决问题（Solve Problems）

A：尊重他人（Always Show Respect）

M：做出正确决定（Make Good Decisions）

目前，一至五年级学生正在进行英语、数学和中文秋季评估。这些评估帮助教师了解每位学生的优势和学习需求，从而提供更有针对性的教学，并为即将到来的家长会做好准备。

感谢您对校车、午餐、课间活动、到校和放学等各项学校流程的理解与支持。您的配合帮助我们为所有学生营造一个安全、友善、积极的学习环境。

祝大家中秋快乐！

谨致，

谭校长

Mental Health Resources for the BSD Community 

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, spread hope, and spark meaningful action around one of the most urgent mental health issues of our time. Families are encouraged to take time to learn about warning signs, common symptoms, behaviors and risk factors — making a commitment to prioritizing suicide prevention.

A variety of mental health resources, including information about suicide prevention, can be found on the Mental Health Support section of the district website. Other topics covered include anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse. Individuals seeking support may also reach out to school counselors and MHAT counselors. 

The Bellevue School District has also partnered with Care Solace to complement districtwide efforts that support the well-being of students, families and staff. Care Solace is a free and confidential care coordination service that can help you quickly find mental health or substance use treatment options matched to your needs, regardless of circumstance. Care Solace is NOT an emergency response service or mental health service provider. If you have a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 or The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. The Care Solace team is always available — including nights, weekends and holidays.

贝尔维尤学区为社区成员提供心理健康资源

九月是全国预防自杀宣传月，旨在提高公众对这一严峻的心理健康问题的认识，传递希望，并鼓励大家采取积极行动。我们鼓励家长花时间了解自杀的早期预警信号、常见症状、行为特征和风险因素，并致力于预防自杀。您可以在学区网站的"心理健康支持"页面找到各种心理健康资源，包括关于预防自杀的信息。其他主题还包括焦虑、抑郁、饮食失调和药物滥用。如果您需要帮助，可以联系学校辅导员或心理健康服务团队（MHAT）的咨询师。

贝尔维尤学区还与Care Solace合作，以更好地支持学生、家长和教职工的心理健康。Care Solace是一项免费且保密的心理健康服务协调平台，无论您身处何种境地，都能帮助您快速找到符合自身需求的心理健康或药物滥用治疗方案。请注意，Care Solace并非紧急救援服务或心理健康服务机构。如果您遇到危及生命的紧急情况，请拨打911或美国预防自杀与危机热线988。Care Solace团队全天候提供服务，包括晚上、周末和节假日。

Drill Information

In September we conducted a fire drill and practiced what we would do if we needed to evacuate the building.  

For October, on October 15, at 10:15am, we will be holding an earthquake drill to practice our response in the event of an earthquake.

In the United States, the recommended actions during an earthquake are to Drop, Cover, and Hold On.

Please take some time to discuss emergency preparedness with your child, including what to do during an earthquake. Encourage them to share their concerns and feelings. It's important to remind them that while unexpected situations can occur, there are many steps we can take to stay safe.

For more information on earthquakes and general preparedness, consider visiting the following resources:

• Washington Emergency Management Division: mil.wa.gov/personal
• Great Washington ShakeOut: shakeout.org/washington
• Ready.gov Kids: ready.gov/kids

Thank you for your support in helping our students stay prepared!

演习信息

九月，我们进行了一次消防演习，并练习了如果需要疏散建筑物时我们会怎么做。学生们学会了快速离开大楼并在指定地点集合，然后我们练习。  

十月的演戏计划：十月十五日的十点十五分，我们将进行一次地震演习，以练习在地震发生时的应对措施。

在美国，地震时的推荐动作是：趴下、掩护、保持镇定。

请花一些时间与您的孩子讨论应急准备，包括在地震期间该怎么做。鼓励他们分享自己的担忧和感受。重要的是要提醒他们，尽管意外情况可能会发生，但我们可以采取许多措施来确保安全。
