As the school year comes to a close, we have a few important dates that parents with English Language Learners need to be aware of.

Friday June 1- You are invited to the Living Wax Museum. This is a public speaking presentation. Please note that all students are required to present and come dressed up as a person who has impacted the world. They should be practicing their speeches. Presentations will be from 2:00 – 2:45 with our awards ceremony at 2:45. This event will be live streamed for friends and family living around the world.

The last day for students in After School ESL Tutoring is:

  • The last day for elementary (1-6) tutoring is June 1
  • The last day for 7-12 grade tutoring is June 8

If any students in 7-12 grade are wanting additional tutoring during their exam week or help with final papers or projects, they will need to schedule with Ms. Huizing.  We have a few tutors who are willing to meet students to help them be successful in their exam studying. However, these tutors need to be booked in advance.

The Dr. Huizing Scholarship for ELLs.  The last day for donations for the scholarship is June 1.  This is a one-time $2500 scholarship for an English Language Learner at GCS that has overcome their language barrier to make a lasting impact at GCS through academic excellence, perseverance, and cultural engagement, both in and out of school. This award is to help further pursue their dreams in higher education using their gift of language.

I believe we could begin the scholarship this year if we all show our support for these extraordinary students. The donation is tax deductible and business sponsors will be mentioned at graduation.

The ESL Summer Program for GCS students ONLY begins July 31. See the attached brochure and registration form for dates, fees, and deadlines.

ESL Summer Homework Packets – please let Dr. Huizing know if you will be leaving before the last day of school (June 22, 2018) so that Summer Packets can be prepared. These packets have important pre-vocabulary and ideas for English language practice throughout the summer.

Please keep in mind that classes are filling fast for the 2018 – 2019 school year. If you have friends or family that you have asked to “hold” space for, we need to hear from you before June 18, as we get ready to call families on the waiting list. We do have 2 more openings in Kindergarten.

We are so proud of all the hard work every student has accomplished this year. Each tutor and teacher has loved getting to know your children and working with them in order to ensure their success. Thank you for trusting us with your students and their education.

 

在学年即将结束之时，我们有一些重要的日期需要ESL家长知道：

6月1日星期五 – 邀请您参加Living Wax Museum活着的蜡像馆演讲。这是一个公开的演讲。请注意，所有ESL学生都要求进行演讲，并且打扮成他们所选择的影响世界的人物。他们应该练习他们演讲。演讲时间将在2:00 – 2:45， 我们的颁奖典礼将在2：45举行。这个演讲将会在网上直播，以便您的朋友和家人观看。

最后一天参加课后班Tutoring的时间：

  • 小学（1-6年级） – 6月1日
  • 7-12年级 – 6月8日

如果任何7-12年级的学生想要在考试周有额外的课后辅导或者需要帮助写论文或者做任何项目，他们需要和Ms.Kelsey商讨日期。我们有几个课后班老师愿意在这周帮助学生们进行考前准备。然而我们需要和这些老师确认时间。

 

Dr.Huizing奖学金为ESL学生 最后一天捐款是6月1日

这是一个一次性2500加元的奖学金，提供给通过克服语言困难持久影响着GCS，学业卓越的，有毅力的，在校内校外文化参与的GCS英语学习者。这个奖项将帮助他们以自己的语言天赋追求更高的高等教育及梦想。

 

我相信我们今年就可以开始这项奖学金，如果我们可以向这些卓越的学生表示支持。捐款可以抵税，公司名义捐款的捐款者将会在毕业典礼上被提名。

 

ESL暑假班 – 只开放给GCS学生， 7月31日开始

请查看附件的手册和登记表，查看日期，费用，和截止日期

 

ESL 暑期作业夹 – 请让 Dr.Huizing老师知道您是否会在学校闭校前离开（6月22日），以便准备暑期作业。这些作业有很重要的下学期的词汇和为ESL学者夏天准备的一些练习和想法。

 

请注意2018-2019学年的学生位置在填满，如果您有朋友或者家人让您帮忙站位，我们需要在6月18日前知道，因为我们准备给等待列表上的家庭打电话。幼儿园我们还有两个位置。

 

我们非常为今年学生的成就所骄傲和自豪。

每个课外辅导老师和学校老师都喜欢了解您的孩子和和他们一起学习，帮助他们成功。感谢您相信我们照顾您的学生和
