Dear parents and students,
Summer’s end is approaching. I hope
you had a great summer break. The first day of school will be on September 8. For your student’s
safety, students please dress in the school uniform; logo white shirts, blue
trousers, logo-blue hair clips for girls. Please bring this letter to our staff
volunteers at the door before entering the classroom wings. Also for safety
reason, we will not allow unregistered students to observe any classes. We
sincerely invite you to make sure we have a safe zone since there will be many
new faces. If you see anyone wandering around, please kindly refer them to our
staff volunteers (also in uniform) in the cafeteria so that we are able to
serve them whereas needed.
If you have ordered uniforms along
with your registration, your child will pick up his/her uniform from his/her room
teacher on the first day of school. Our school address is Tillicum Middle School, 16020 S.E. 16th
St. Bellevue, WA 98008. The school hours are from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
I hope
that you will find Tzu Chi Academy to be a warm, loving, and safe community
that engages students, their families, teachers and volunteers both intellectually
and socially. Tzu Chi Academy is a very special community where partnership
and communication are highly valued.
