3/9 HCSTC Announcement

Dear HCSTC students, parents and teachers,

This announcement is a bit long, but very helpful.

March 9, this Sunday is a normal school day for us Also. Daylight Saving Time begins on this Sunday, March 9, 2025 at 2:00 A.M. On Sunday Morning, clocks are set forward one hour (i.e., losing one hour) to “spring forward.” Please remember this and be in your classes on time so you don't miss anything.

HCSTC is in the planning stage to organize the Summer school for the coming summer, 8 weeks in total, for those who are interested. The goals are again to review what your children have learned throughout this school year and help your them complete summer homework with the guidance from our teachers (without parents' help). The classes are mainly for Chinese, Math and painting classes.

Our goal is to consolidate class materials learned in this school year and more importantly, to lay a more solid foundation for your children to get ready for the new 25-26 school year. Summer school will be in the format of Zoom classes as the George Marshall HS may not be available to us during the summer. We are currently surveying our teachers to look for candidates who are willing to sacrifice part of their summer vacation times to take on this. More update will be followed in the future days.

We also want to restate that the school policy does not allow parents sitting in our classrooms with their children during the class hours. This is to maintain and keep a focus of your children on classroom learning without any distraction from parents. We've noticed and received complaints from certain teachers about parents' distraction and even disturbance in their classrooms when teachers conduct their normal tasks. This is a standard practice followed by our local public/private schools and community schools such as Montessori's as well. Please follow the school rules and help the HCSTC maintain a good learning environment for all kids in our community.

Best wishes for everyone,

HCSTC
