 Dear TCA Families, 


Even with all the chaos that has presented us since February, there is still so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.  We know this is not a year full of typical celebrations and gatherings with friends and families, but we hope you are still able to take a moment to appreciate how far we have come this year.


Recently, we have received a notice from the Bellevue School District that our accreditation are not being recognized for language credits per state OSPI requirement. Therefore, we will no longer plan on renewing our school’s for academic language accreditation after our certification is due at the end of June 2021. Instead, students must take the World Language Competency test or the AP Chinese exam to earn foreign language credits. We understand the importance of education for our students, and the academic team has been working hard to integrate the language tests into our teaching curricula to best prepare the higher-level students.


For more information, please read the attached document in this email. You can also visit our school blog here.  You might also visit the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction website here.   


 

Happy Thanksgiving!

行政團隊 感恩合十

A different Halloween - Flea Market of Honor store & 2019 Attendance Award

 

孩子,我們想寵寵你

2020年十月的最後一天,早上如常的線上課程後,志工立即奔向會所,為下午的跳蚤市場活動展開佈置。囿於新冠疫情的關係,人文學校自三月起改為線上課程,完成了2019學年度,延續至2020學年度的開課。換句話說,從三月起,人文學校這個大家庭已經超過八個月不曾面對面或舉辦活動,但是答應孩子的全勤獎還有榮譽卡還是懸在行政團隊的心上,思考何時能實現對孩子的諾言。

 

安全第一,活動第二

十月初,景郡(King County)的疫情趨於穩定,學校決定舉辦一個小型的活動,讓學生可以來兌換榮譽卡的獎品,領取全勤獎盃,同時讓孩子在這天可以玩一玩萬聖節,讓童年不留白。志工仔細閱讀州政府及市府的團聚規定,嚴謹的安排動線,並且讓家長填寫參與的預估時間,以便控制排隊人數在安全範圍內。活動在會所的戶外進行,志工在排隊的入口處為每個人量體溫、遞淨手液、每一站都有淨手液以及消毒噴霧,由志工隨時清潔被觸摸過的地方。

入口處之後,志工為每一個孩子發糖果,並且提供免費的口罩,然後引導每個家庭到照相區留影,沾沾過節的氣氛。

 

簡單卻誠意十足的頒獎典禮

經過了照相區,校長在領獎處等候得獎學生,為了減少交叉感染,這也是第一次得獎學生在擺置的獎盃桌上自己拿獎盃,在志工們得獎歌的同時和校長合影紀念。看到孩子和家長被志工的歡樂歌聲驚喜的表情,想必孩子們有被感動到。

 

榮譽商店提供動靜換獎新體驗

榮譽商店設在會所的正門口處,由志工控制人流以保持安全社交距離,由於疫情的關係,所有的獎品都是單包裝的新品,讓家長可以安心。另一個亮點是學校提供了兩台扭蛋機,讓孩子可以來試試手氣,看看扭到了什麼獎品。

 

棉花糖感謝參與

換完榮譽卡獎品,出口處學校提供了彩色的棉花糖,感謝家長對學校的信賴,感謝孩子們對學習的努力,願意開車來參加一個不到15分鐘的活動,願意來跟志工及老師打招呼。

 

每一個活動都是一場愛的傳遞

這次久違了的學校活動,引出了居家避疫的教育志工來幫忙,也號召了只在線上看到臉的助教來助陣,見到彼此時雖然只能數呎之外打招呼,但是內心的暖意和歡喜則是不言而喻。誠如育儒師兄分享説很高興能參加此次活動,才可能像孩子一樣過了一個比較正常有點活力的下午,道出了所有志工的心情。志工行政團隊在活動結束,收拾好場地,關上會所的大門返家。

感恩每位參與的家長和孩子遵守社交規定,愛護彼此的安全,我們也才能放下忐忑的心,回家為下一週的校務繼續努力。

感恩教育志工及助教,和美麗的秋太陽,一起圓滿了有距離卻緊緊相扣的榮譽商店跳蚤市場暨萬聖節活動,感恩,再感恩。
