Dear Parents,
9/22 will be our 5th week. With only a few exception (for those who registered in the last two weeks), parents and students should have decided the appropriate language level and elective class. After 4 weeks, there will be no refund for withdraws.
At DBCS, students’ safety is a very important concern for teachers and administrators. We want to make sure students can learn in a safe environment. In our Student Handbook, there are rules that students are required to follow at school. We need to educate our students about these rules. Here are several important measures that we are taking to ensure the safety:
1. Require lower level classes to have separate recess time. For classes lower than level 1, during recess time, teachers and TAs will supervise students. Students are required to go in and out the classroom as a group. They will not be allowed to wander around the building or campus by themselves.
2. No running (or other types of “speedy” and “physical” games, such as “tagging”) is allowed during recess. Parents and teachers, please advise students to observe this rule strictly.
3. We ask all teachers and TAs to help maintain order and safety when they can during recess. We also want to ask parents who are at campus during class times, please help and remind our students to enjoy their recess safely.
4. Diamond Bar Chinese American Association, our parent organization, is discussing about getting board members to help with the safety issue too.
5. Safety during drop-off and pick-up is also very important. Parents please remind our students about safety rules in parking lots and crowded places.
We hope we can work together to ensure a safe educational environment for our kids.
Also, we are trying to improve our utilization of technology in teaching and doing administrative tasks. We call for all parents and students to give us ideas and suggestions. We also need parent volunteers to help with technical details, particularly, we need help to make our website more informative and educational. Please let us know if you are willing to help.
Thank you very much!
