　　Dear Parents,

　　Welcome back from our National Holiday break. I trust everyone had a pleasant and joyous holiday. It was wonderful to see all the children again as the campus was very lonely and quiet without them here!

　　欢迎从我们的国庆假期回来。我相信每个人都度过了一个愉快的假期。很高兴再次见到所有的孩子，因为没有他们在这里， 整个校园显得非常的孤独和安静!
 

　　Prior to leaving for break the students and staff at ZWWC celebrated the holiday with a barbecue, live music by our students and performances by the students. Everyone joined in and had a pleasant evening with friends and teachers before leaving for the holiday. Our many thanks to Student Services and the Student Council for making this event possible.

　　在假期前，ZWWC学生和全体员工用烧烤、音乐和表演来庆祝。大家都很享受这次的活动，在假期前，所有的学生、朋友和老师们度过了一个愉快的夜晚。我们非常感谢学生处和学生对这次活动的组织和安排。
 

　　We return to a very busy time at ZWWC. The students are settling into their schedules and we are half way through the first quarter of the school year. Parents are reminded that they can check their student’s grades and homework results on the SchoolPal site. Your password is the same as your child’s. Please be sure to take a look as it will keep you informed on your students progress.

　　我们又回到了ZWWC非常繁忙的时刻。学生们正在计划他们的学习和课程表，这周我们已经过了这个学年的第一季度的一半。我们想提醒家长们，请在校宝上查看学生的成绩和家庭作业。您的密码与您孩子的密码相同。请务必查看校宝，以便随时了解您孩子的学习进度。
 

　　As we firmly believe that teachers never stop learning and are always working to become better and stronger at their vocation, we welcome Mr. David Roderick to our campus. Mr. Roderick is the Director of Professional Development. He will hold trainings for all teachers to instruct them in preparing students academically for Western Universities. He will also meet with teachers individually and in small groups to assist them in perfecting their teaching skills. We thank Mr. Roderick for working with us and appreciate the opportunity for continued growth.

　　我们坚信，教师们永无停止的学习和一直致力于在自己的职业中变得更好和更专业，因此我们邀请大卫·罗德里克先生来到我们的校园。罗德里克先生是教学发展总监。他将为所有教师进行培训，指导他们如何培养学生进入国外大学。他还将单独和小组会见教师，协助他们提高和完善教学技能。我们感谢罗德里克先生成为我们的合作伙伴和提供持续的成长机会。
 

　　There has been much discussion around the school regarding Advanced Placement classes and which classes a student should take. For your viewing I have included a revised list of the top twelve AP Tests according to College Board that are the most popular (please note this list has been altered to allow for classes that may be offered in China). This list is not a recommendation but for information only.

　　学校里有很多关于AP和学生应该上哪些课程的讨论。为了便于您查看，我已根据较受欢迎的大学董事会列出了12项AP考试的修订名单(请注意，该名单已进行了修改，以允许在中国提供课程)。这份名单不是推荐名单，仅供参考。
 

　　Best regards,

　　Phyllis Roderick
