​​A letter from NYCS student’s parent: 家長給校長的一封信

Subject: Outstanding Teachers!
To: principalwang@nychineseschool.org <principalwang@nychineseschool.org>

Hello Principal Wang,
Hope this email finds you well. I just thought you should know how amazing your teachers are. Specifically 江老師 and Ms. Rebecca Frank. My daughter, A♡  attends Ms. Jiang’s chinese class Saturday mornings and Ms. Frank’s art class in the afternoon. They are both such encouraging and positive teachers.
 Audrey, truly enjoys both of their classes. We were only considering the school for virtual classes but we might have to venture out to Chinatown every weekend when this is all over. 
It is hard enough to teach little ones virtually but Ms. Jiang and Ms.Frank does it with such grace. We’ve tried other schools and teachers closer to us but these two teachers are simply outstanding. I am so grateful for all of the encouragement that they gave A [❤] ️so far to make her excited for the next class.  
Thank you. 
Jackie Jiang （A [❤] ’  mom)

Hi 校長：
希望你很好。我只是想你應該知道你的老師有多麼出色。特別是江老師和麗貝卡·弗蘭克女士。我的女兒A♡星期六早上參加江老師的中文課，下午參加弗蘭克女士的美術課。他們都是令人鼓舞和積極的老師。 我的女兒真的很喜歡他們的兩個班級。原先我們只是考慮學校參加這個學期的網路課程；但也許以後到了周末，我們可能不得不每個週末都去唐人街冒險。 網路教學是很困難的，但是江老師和弗蘭克老師是如此的出色。我們嘗試過距離我們更近的其他學校和老師，但是我們選擇了這兩位非常棒的老師。我非常感謝這兩位老師的鼓勵及教導，我的女兒迫不及待的期待下一次的上課。
謝謝你！
Jackie Jiang （A [❤] ’  mom)​

​僑校白鷺及白蕾多媒體簡報全美奪冠｜ New York Chinese School’s Landry Berat and Langley Berat Earn Gold in NCACLS Multimedia Orientation National Competition

​8月上旬白鷺（Landry Berat)，白蕾 (Langley Berat) 姐妹代表紐約華僑學校參賽全美中文學校聯合總會（NCACLS全美15個地區，學生成員近80,000人）舉辦的「2020國語演講和多媒體簡報比賽」，榮獲全美多媒體簡報比賽高年級組第一名的好成績。據悉本年送件參賽學校約30所，近百人報名參賽，競爭激烈；在全美20幾位評審核下奪冠。多媒體簡報決賽獲獎學校計六組，除紐約華僑學校名列第一外，另有西雅圖華文學校、費利蒙中文學校、費利蒙中文學校、矽谷中文學校及麻州勒星頓中文學校分別獲得第二名及第三名及優等獎。華僑學校校長王憲筠表示， 自從疫情3月份實體停課以來，白家八個女兒除了認真參加華僑學校的網路課程外，並努力不懈的刻苦練習，因此八姐妹都進入決賽，而白鷺 （Landry Berat), 白蕾 (Langley Berat)期間一路過關斬將。在比賽中，聲情並茂地演講了《成語和典故，文化永流傳！ 》，最終榮獲一等獎！白家八姐妹自小學始不間斷的在紐約華僑學校就讀，個個才藝精湛，除中文演講、歌唱比賽外，另書法、舞蹈、溜溜球、功夫等，亦是表現優異，為僑校帶來至高無上的榮譽。白家姐妹更樹立非華裔家庭學習中文亦可同樣的表現優異，超群出眾。在華僑學校學習的寶貴經歷，註定成為日後人生中無形的財富。藉由白家姐妹學習成果樹立的典範，希望鼓勵更多僑校學生積極參與各項比賽，除宣揚中華文化外，並獲得更多的榮譽。

​In early August, the sisters Landry Berat and Langley Berat, representing New York Chinese School, partook in the 2020 Mandarin Public Speaking and Multimedia Orientation Competition, held by the National Council of Association of Chinese Language Schools (NCACLS has 15 member regions across USA, with nearly 80,000 students in total). They placed first in the senior grade level group for the National Multimedia Orientation Competition. This year, about 30 schools participated, with 100 students competing under the oversight of 20 judges. Six schools participated in the finals, with New York Chinese School placing first, Seattle Chinese School placing second, Fremont Chinese School placing third, with Westwood Chinese School, Lexington Chinese School, and Silicon Valley Chinese School all receiving Merit Awards. NYCS Principal Wang states that since the suspension of in-person classes in March, the entire Berat family have been attending NYCS online classes, continually practicing Chinese. Hence, all eight sisters entered the competition, with Landry Berat and Langley Berat entering the finals. With their project, “Idioms, Allusions, and Culture will forever be spread!”, first place was achieved. All eight sisters of the Berat family have been studying at NYCS since elementary school. All of them are exquisitely talented, placing highly in Chinese speech and singing competitions, performing well in  areas of calligraphy, dance, yo-yo, and Kung Fu, continually bringing supreme honor to NYCS. The Berat family sisters also established that non-Chinese families can also be proficient in Chinese. The precious experience of studying at New York Chinese School is destined to become a precious treasure in the future. With the exemplar model set by the Berat sisters' learning achievements, I hope to encourage more students to actively participate in various competitions, while simultaneously promoting Chinese culture, and bringing more honor to the school.

雖遇風暴、僑校服務社區子弟精神不變

邁向歷史111年的紐約華僑中文學校在新冠疫情紐約市教育局宣布停課前，已預先辦理師資網路培訓工作，3月15日即刻實施網路教學。目前已經進入第三週學生出席率約八成；但有的班級參與度達100%。校長王憲筠表示雖在疫情風暴的肆虐下，但在董事長于金山主席及全體董事指導下，藉由網路科技，秉持僑校的傳統及宗旨，並沒有因為外在的困境而停滯不前，現階段實施成效良好。其中最主要感謝的是全體老師、僑校行政團隊同仁、義工、家長和學生的共同努力及不斷地溝通協調下，共克艱難。

網路教學對於僑校師生來說都是新的嘗試及挑戰。對於低年級的學生，家長必須抽空全程陪同小孩和協助老師。低年級學生藉由唱歌、跳舞、畫畫、說故事、自我介紹等活動主題，在老師視訊指導下上課；雖說臨場應變沒有實際上課一樣的效果，但仍然可以不斷求新求變及進步。僑校老師完成了從對着學生講課到對着攝像頭授課的轉變，學生適應了從與同學一起在課室到一個人對着電腦屏幕上課的變化。這樣的轉變是歷史的創新，也是傳統僑校走在時代先驅的最佳見證。

除了感謝僑校老師及家長們的大力支持與配合之下，並感謝駐紐約僑教中心主任黃政傑、副主任林威廷的支持，提供每一位學生免費「華語向前走」數位教科書及全球華文教材輔助系統。我們才可順利實現網路課程的使命！
111 years old New York Chinese School has already trained their teachers how to conduct online classes before the NY Department of Education announced the suspension of in-person classes due to the coronavirus situation. Online classes were implemented on March 15. At present, online courses have entered the third week, with student attendance rate about 80%; some classes participation rate have reached 100%. Principal Wang said that despite the turmoil of the epidemic, under the guidance of Chairman Yu and the Board of Directors, with the help of Internet technology, the tradition and purpose of New York Chinese School have not been hindered due to external difficulties. The implementation at this stage has achieved good results. We send most important thanks to the joint efforts of all the teachers, colleagues of the administrative team of the New York Chinese School, volunteers, parents and students, and continuous communication and coordination to overcome the difficulties.

Online teaching is a new method and challenge for teachers and students of overseas Chinese schools. For lower grade students, parents must take the time to accompany the child and assist the teacher throughout the lesson. The students in the lower grades take classes under the guidance of the teacher's video through activities such as singing, dancing, painting, storytelling, and self-introduction. Although on-the-spot response does not have the same effect as the actual in-person class, it can still continue to prompt innovation and growth. The teachers of New York Chinese School have completed the transition from lectures to students to lectures to the camera. The students have adapted to the changes from being in the classroom with their classmates to attending via the computer screen. Such a change is a historical innovation, and it is also the best testimony that the traditional overseas Chinese schools are pioneers of the times.

In the last two weeks of online classes, teachers and students communicated face-to-face online in real time. Teachers provided a learning environment similar to the classroom as much as possible and combined the unique teaching of Chinese classes with online teaching. Online courses have rich teaching resources and diverse media, and teachers can easily obtain and share them. For a better learning experience, teachers attached audio and extended pictures of textbooks and new words to each lesson, showing the teaching content and documents to students in real time, with annotations and explanations.

紐約華僑學校網路教學已開辦 New York Chinese School Teachers Learn How to Run Online Courses

為顧及全校學生及老師安全，紐約華僑學校董事長于金山及全體董事同意自14日起實施階段性停課五周 (至4月19日)。華僑學校校長王憲筠表示若疫情讓整個學期都無法到校學習情況下，網路課程教學替代方案自本周開跑。昨14日前來受訓的老師們學習如何操作電腦執行網路課程，並依據華語向前跑線上內容進行網路教學。
惟網路學習仍其侷限不足之處，為儘可能減低影響學生學習成效，除老師持續與家長個別聯繫如何操作網路視訊教學外，並邀請家長一同参與及協助貴子弟學習。是項軟體也可以安裝在手機上。王憲筠表示網路課程能夠進行如此順利，這是要歸功於華僑學校捐贈電腦教室的個別善心人士及洪門致公堂伍煥鵬總顧問伉儷、中華公所前主席協勝伍銳賢總理、中華總商會李可喬董事長、李氏公所李國威主席等僑團代表、紐約華僑文教中心、國寶銀行及國泰銀行等機構的支持。另感謝家長們的理解，僑校係非營利社區服務學校，全體董事會業同意考慮下學期學費減免90元（依現行註冊退費規定；若辦理退費，係30%），以鼓勵學生繼續學習中文。

In consideration for the safety of students and teachers, New York Chinese School Chairman Yu and the entire Board of Directors approved a five-week suspension, from March 14th to April 19th. NYCS Principal Wang states that if the situation turns into a state that no longer permits the students to continue attending school for the rest of the semester, the online course alternative program will commence this week. On March 14th, teachers were trained on how to conduct an online course, teaching based on online Chinese language textbooks and workbooks. However, we fully understand that online teaching will have limits on its effectiveness. Hence, in addition to teachers providing content and advice to parents, we encourage parents to participate in teaching their children. The software being utilized, Zoom, can be installed on devices. Principal Wang states the online courses can be smoothly carried out, thanks to charitable people and organizations donating funds to install computers in every classroom and furnishing a computer lab. Thank you Chinese FreeMasons Association General Counsellor Wu and his wife, Former CCBA Chairman Ng, Chinese General Chamber of Commerce Chairman Li, Li’s Family Association Chairman Li, representatives from overseas Chinese Organizations, Culture Center of Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York, Abacus Federal Savings Bank and Cathay Bank. We would also like to thank parents and students for their understanding. New York Chinese School is a non-profit community service school. The Board of Directors agreed to consider a $90 tuition fee reduction for the next semester (based on the current registration refund rules; if the refund is processed, the department will pay 30%) to encourage students to continue studying Chinese.

​停課通知 | School Closure Notice

各位家長您們好，
公立學校可能下週一會停課，但目前公立學校尚未發出通知。本校考慮目前紐約疫情嚴重，本校從本週三月十四日至四月十九日將停課五個星期並以網路教學方式進行教學，之後再視情況而定。
紐約華僑學校停課配套措施; 將以階段性停課方式實施之。
週末班方面，從本週三月十四日至三月二十二日將停課兩個星期並以網路教學方式進行教學。我們會在此周末教導老師如何實施網路即時教學。關於網課的使用方法老師將會在這週發郵件給家長。至於之後上課與否再另行通知。
在停課期間如果家長有任何疑問請發郵件到nycs@nychineseschool.org 或致電給現任班主任。

非常感謝各位家長的理解，

Dear beloved parents, 
New York Chinese School will implement temporary suspension of classes in a manner of phases. 
We apologize for the lack of response on this important issue as we are continuously receiving updates from New York State and City official sources.
1) In consideration of the current situation, New York Chinese School will suspend in-person weekend classes for 5 weeks, from March 14th to April 19th. NYCS will implement online classes to continue teaching. An email will be sent by your child’s teacher for instructions on how to install the proper software to receive online instruction. 
2) We will decide whether in the future classes will reopen based on the situation.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at nycs@nychineseschool.org or contact your child's teacher.

Abacus Bank plans to help New York Chinese school update the computers and security monitoring system Abacus bank chairman Mr. Thomas Sung has recently discussed with CCBA (Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association) President Eric Ng and the New York Chinese School Principle Jennifer Wang, about updating the teaching equipment for the New York Chinese School. According to Principle Wang and CCBA President Eric Ng’s confirmation, there are 17 classrooms in the school, and each of which needs to be equipped with computers, projectors, big screens, video cameras and microphones. The whole set of equipment can help teachers get the online teaching materials; and help students participate the class through internet if the students could not make to the classroom. Even for students from different cities, they can take the New York Chinese School online classes. The whole set of equipment will not only improves the teaching efficiency of the school, makes the class more interesting, but also provides great convenience to students, and expands the scope of education for the school. At present, the school has 1000 students, and with the help of these new technologies and new equipment, the scope of teaching of the schools has been expanded without geographic limits. Abacus bank chairman Mr. Sung said the purpose of the bank is not only serving the community’s financial need. We also like to help with the community in terms of education. Therefore, Mr. Sung takes the needs of the school very seriously, and is willing to sponsor the upgrade of the computer equipment. According to CCBA president Eric Ng, the New York Chinese School was established in order to promote the Chinese Education in Chinese communities and to promote the Chinese Culture. Mr. Sung has always taken the needs of the New York Chinese School very seriously. Abacus bank is very pleased to be able to work with the New York Chinese School in this regard. According to the school’s budget from Principle Wang, the cost of above-mentioned equipment is about $26,000.00. This $26,000 will be prepared by Mr. Sung and will be paid to the school, which will be paid under the supervision of CCBA President’s in accordance with the budget. President Wang also mentioned that the security monitoring system of the school has been in place for more than 20 years and is way too old. If there is no good security detection system, there is no security for the newly installed computer teaching equipment. At the same time, the safety of students is also very important. As a result, the security monitoring system needs to be updated too. The school will need to install 32 new security cameras, two NVRs, and four computer screens, including labors, a total of $14,000. This fee will also be prepared by Abacus Bank Chairman Mr. Sung and will be paid to the school, which will be paid under the supervision of CCBA President’s in accordance with the budget. All computer equipment, projectors, security camera systems, plus installation costs etc., a total budget of approximately $40,000.00.

New York Chinese held the end of the 2019 Fall Semester weekend class on January 18th and 19th. Teachers and students of the whole school were happy to prepare for the Semester Show. The auditorium was full of appreciative parents showing their support.

Principal Wang talked about the difficulty of learning Chinese for 3rd and 4th generational children of Chinese descent and how NYCS’s teachers utilize their professional knowledge and serious attitude to uplift the level of their students’ Chinese. Principal Wang went over why New York Chinese School is a top pick for parents: NYCS is a clean learning environment, offers scholarships for graduates, is continually improving its quality of teachers, is striving to offer more diverse classes, and offers free admission to Crimson Kings, a marching band corp with over 70 years of history. NYCS has employed teachers and assistants from New York City Charter School of Arts, Columbia Teachers College, Hunter College, Hunter College, City College of New York, Brooklyn High School Hope Club, Camba, Baruch High School and other volunteer teams.

The two days of performances were wonderful. You Zi Yin gave a thought provoking reading of 母愛的偉大. She was awarded the NYCS Volunteer Certificate for her efforts and encouragement. Wang Ping and Wang Jing were also awarded the Volunteer Certificate for their contributions to school cleanliness and their devotion to the parade team.
  
Principal Wang invited all parents to promote Chinese language and culture for NYCS. The performance and exhibition of student posters impressed the parents. Through this event, NYCS wishes all students and parents of NYCS in advance: Happy Chinese New Year!​
