Principal’s Heartfelt Thank You for a Beautiful Celebration
With sincere appreciation, I extend my deepest gratitude to all students, parent volunteers, teachers, and staff. Your collective efforts brought to life an unforgettable Chinese New Year Celebration. The radiant colors, joyous laughter, and rich traditions that woven into every detail reflected a profound cultural heritage and strong sense of unity, creating a truly heartwarming experience.

From the beautifully adorned venue to the dazzling student performances, every aspect of the event was infused with enthusiasm and dedication. The active participation of our entire school community filled the gala with warmth and joy, perfectly capturing the essence of the New Year -- hope, reunion, and harmony. It truly felt like a welcoming family gathering.

This signature event also garnered widespread acclaim from local dignitaries and community leaders, who commended our school’s commitment to embracing diversity and fostering cultural appreciation. Their recognition reaffirms our ongoing efforts to strengthen connections and build bridges of understanding within the community.

A special thank you to our guest performing groups, KungFu Dragon USA and the Xiaopei Chinese Dance, whose captivating performances enriched the celebration with artistry and cultural vibrancy.

Thank you for making this cultural festivity a resounding success. It has not only brought energy and excitement to our school and neighborhood but also deepened our appreciation for shared traditions and relationships. May the joy you have shared return to you manifold in the year ahead.

Classroom Rule

共同維護教室環境,共創友善學習空間!
松谷中學(Pine Valley Middle School)校方最近反映,部分教室物品遭到擅自移動或損壞 。灣谷租借該校舍辦學,有責任愛惜教室設備,並共同維護整潔有序的校園環境。

為確保孩子們擁有良好的學習空間,懇請家長協助提醒孩子尊重教室物品,特別是日間教 師的教學用品,並遵守教室使用規則。請與孩子一起討論,好讓他們明白並理解遵守這些 規則的重要性:

  1. 尊重教室設備與物品
    日間教師的教學用品及設備不得擅自挪動或使用,這些物品對其教學至關重要。如 有損壞或濫用,可能影響我們繼續使用校園設施。
  2. 主動回報任何事故
    若不慎損壞物品,學生應立即通知老師或助教。我們希望能夠主動處理問題,維持 與松谷中學的良好合作關係。
  3. 保持教室整潔
    孩子應養成良好習慣,隨手清理垃圾並妥善丟棄,離開前收拾個人物品、擺好椅子 ,確保教室維持整潔有序的狀態。
  4. 培養禮貌與尊重
    孩子應友善待人,言行舉止得體,彼此尊重,避免不當言語或行為,共同營造和諧 的學習氛圍。

感謝您們的支持與配合,讓我們攜手為灣谷打造一個友善、優質的學習環境!

Helping Our Students Foster Respect and Responsibility in the Classroom
Pine Valley Middle School’s administration has informed us of concerns regarding classroom property being tampered with or damaged. As guests on their campus, it is essential that we uphold a respectful and responsible learning environment.

We kindly ask for parents’ support in reinforcing the importance of respecting school property, particularly items belonging to daytime teachers, and ensuring that students adhere to classroom guidelines. Please take a moment to review the following expectations with your child:

  1. Respect Classroom Materials:
    Supplies, equipment, and instructional resources designated for daytime teachers must remain undisturbed. These items are essential for their classes, and unauthorized use or damage could impact our ability to continue using the facility.
  2. Report Any Incidents Promptly:
    If accidental damage occurs, students should inform a teacher or teaching assistant immediately. Addressing issues proactively allows us to take responsibility and maintain a positive relationship with Pine Valley.
  3. Maintain Cleanliness and Order:
    Students are expected to handle classroom materials with care, dispose of trash properly, and ensure the room is left in the same condition as when they arrive.
  4. Foster a Courteous and Respectful Attitude:
    Kindness and consideration toward others help create a positive learning atmosphere. Students should use polite language, be respectful toward their peers, and demonstrate responsible behavior.

We sincerely appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a respectful and well- kept learning space. Thank you for taking the time to discuss these expectations with your child.
