鉴于新冠肺炎疫情发展迅速，学校决定未来两个周日（3/8，3/15）中文课程全部采用远程授课。无法远程授课的文体课程全部取消。
华夏师生的安全和健康是头等大事，学校会密切关注疫情发展，届时根据最新情况再做决定并通知返校上课的日期。
祝大家平平安安，顺利度过这个非常时期。
Due to the rising number of coronavirus cases in our area, all Chinese classes will be conducted remotely next 2 Sundays (3/8, 3/15). Culture classes that cannot be conducted remotely are canceled.
Because this is a fast-moving and ever-changing situation, we will be diligent in following official recommendations by the CDC and/or local/state authorities. Please stay tuned for further information from the school’s safety team regarding reopening the school.

Because the safety and well-being of all our students, teachers and families are our top priority, we recommend following the precautionary measures and guidelines recommended by the CDC to help keep your family healthy and prevent the spread of the virus:
● Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based sanitizer
● Keep your children away from others who are sick
● Please keep your children home if they are ill
● Teach children to cough and sneeze into their arm or elbow, not their hands
● Clean and disinfect household objects and surfaces in your home
● Avoid travel to destinations where the outbreak is prevalent or known

家长们好，老师们好！
上周日学校顺利恢复正常上课。在此我们对老师们的敬业精神表示敬意！家长学生们可以选择不来学校上课，而老师们却要顶着巨大的压力，毫无怨言地支持学校复课。还要感谢广大的志愿者们，每当学校 POD人手不够，一有招唤，马上就有志愿者报名顶上，谢谢你们！
经过安全管理小组成员开会并无记名投票决定，本周日中文学校继续正常上课。如有特殊情况及困难，老师可以与班级家长商议选择请假或远程教育，但是大家需要考虑到低出勤率会给POD安排造成很大困难，学生安全保障会受到影响。我们会紧密关注疫情发展，如有需要，学校将依据 CDC官方指导并参照本地区公立学校及其他社区组织情况随时做出调整。谢谢大家！
春节联欢会活动暂时推迟至 4/19/2020.

Dear Parents and Teachers,
The resumption of school last Sunday went well. We would like to thank all teachers for their professionalism and dedication. We would like to thank parents who volunteered for POD duties when called upon.
School is open this Sunday. The decision was reached at a meeting of the school’s Safety Team. Teachers are given the option to conduct distance teaching provided the majority of parents in his/her class agree. However, if too few classes are conducted at school, school safety may be compromised as there will be a shortage of POD parents.
The school will closely monitor any new developments concerning the virus. The school will take actions consistent with CDC recommendations and practices by neighboring school districts.
The Chinese New Year Celebration party is postponed to 4/19/2020.
Thank you for your support.
