Dear Parents，

尊敬的家长，

We would like to remind you that on this Thursday, Nov. 8 and Friday, Nov. 9 CISH will be having Professional Development days for all staff, therefore school will be closed for those two days and will resume on Monday Nov.12th. This PD is required to be authorized in the IB program. 

我们在此提醒您11月8日周四及11月9日周五是合肥加拿大国际学校员工职业培训日，学校将因此停课两天，11月12日下周一照常上课。员工职业培训是IB认证的必备要求。

Student Parent Teacher interviews are scheduled for Thursday, Nov.15th from 5 PM until 7 PM and Friday, Nov 16th from 8 AM until 4 PM. There will be no school on Friday，November 16th because of the Student Parent Teacher interviews. 

学生/家长 教师见面会时间是11月15日周四下午5点至7点，以及11月16日周五上午8点至下午4点。因此，11月16日周五学校停课一天。

Research shows that students learn more, have higher grades, and have better school attendance when parents are involved in their child’s education. That’s why attending parent-teacher conferences is so important: it’s a great way for parents to become involved and stay involved throughout the school year.  Parent-Teacher conferences are a good way to meet your child’s teacher and learn about your child’s academic performance, as well as the teacher’s expectations. If you know what is expected in the classroom, you can more easily address any issue that comes up as your child moves through the school year.  By attending conferences, you also send a positive message to your child that school is important.  Keep in mind that you are an equal partner at the conference.  If you have questions or observations, the conference is a good time to share them with the teacher. Don’t forget to share what you know about your child. Your information helps the teacher better understand and teach your child.

研究表明家长积极参与到孩子的教育中来，能让孩子学得更多，取得更好的成绩以及保证更高的出勤率。这也是为何您的出席如此重要的原因：这是让家长参与并且始终参与到对孩子整学年的教育中来的绝佳办法。家长-教师见面会能让你面对面跟教师交谈，了解孩子的学习情况，以及教师对孩子的期望。如果您知道教师希望孩子达成的目标，那解决孩子整学年在学校遇到的问题便更加容易。家长参加见面会也是在给孩子传递学校很重要的信息。记住见面会上家长和教师都是平等的。见面会是跟教师分享问题以及对孩子所见所闻的好时机。别忘了跟教师分享您所了解的孩子。您提供的信息会帮助教师更好的理解、教导学生。

Yours in Leaning!
