New Year, New Drive: Gear Up for Semester Success!
Now that the Lunar New Year festivities have come to an end, we warmly encourage all students to carry that vibrant energy into your studies, setting the stage for academic success in the months ahead. With ten more instructional days remaining in this semester, let's finish strong together!

Please also note that on rainy days, outdoor recess will be held indoors. We understand that it can be challenging to subdue all that energy during indoor recess; however, for everyone's safety, we kindly ask that students refrain from running in the hallways. Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a safe learning environment.

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.
