Teacher's appreciation day - Big Thanks to your teacher this week!!!
This Friday, 3/23 is the teacher appreciation day. Please thank your children's teachers for
spending so much time preparing each week's lessons, grading homework and exams, and instilling a little bit of Chinese culture and language into their lives each week.
Give her a round of applause or a thank you card since without their time and effort; we would not have the Chinese school that we have today. Gift-giving is totally optional.

Attention BVCS Parents and Community
San Ramon Valley Unified School District has received information about two separate and seemingly unrelated incidents within this week, and I wanted to pass this information on to you.
Both incidents were reported by parents to local school principals. One occurred near Bollinger Canyon Elementary School, the other near Hidden Hills Elementary School. Both were similar situations - a man in a parked car who rolled his window down and began talking to a young girl. One of the parents reported that the man asked the girl to get into the car. Both incidents were reported to local police.
We bring this to your attention as another reminder to please talk to your children about being aware of their surroundings and to talk to an adult if they see any suspicious behavior.
Parents must NOT drop off kids in the dark parking lot. Child must be immediately picked up after the end of class.
Thank you for your attention.
John Sun, Principal
