JM: Weekly Admin Message 4.21, 2025 景美：校长每周留言 2025年4月21日

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Thank you for your support for our on-going support for our school. Preschool families provided an amazing lunch for our staff on Friday 4/18.

Also, PTSA general members have approved to increase the donation goal to maintain the current GSA hours. On top of the shortfall in donations, the situation has been further strained by insufficient funds from the state and ongoing budget cuts from the school district which have created an additional funding gap of $36,000. Altogether, this leaves us with a critical funding challenge as big as $63,000.

If you would like to support, please consider to donate to PTSA: https://www.bmdl-ptsa.org/get-involved/donate (remember to mark for GSA/JAG donation)

• 1. 2025-2026 Class Placement Parent Input (School communication to current Kindergarten to 4th Gr.)

The time has come for us to begin thinking about preparing for classroom placements for the next school year. Our goal during this time is to spend the spring focused on creating drafts of balanced classrooms that will meet the needs of all children. We will spend a great deal of time as a staff and in grade level teams developing anticipated class groupings. We take into consideration Mandarin proficiency level, male to female ratio, academic performance, social skills, learning styles, and special needs. We also value parent input. Creating balanced classrooms where children will be successful is a complex process, and we need your cooperation to make it work. We appreciate the opportunity to work together with you to create well-balanced classrooms.  Please fill this out by 5/16/2025 Thank you.

亲爱的家长和监护人：

感谢家长们一直以来的帮助。感谢学前班的家长们给我们带来丰富的午餐。

另外，家长会会员投票已经通过了提高募捐的目标来保持我们助教老师给学生的帮助。在原来募捐目标加上财减$36,000的情况，你们的帮助变得尤其关键。

如果您想要捐给家长会，请记得写上备注给GSA、JAG的捐赠: https://www.bmdl-ptsa.org/get-involved/donate (remember to mark for GSA/JAG donation)
