亲爱的家长/监护人们：
Dear parent/guardian,
尽管目前疫情影响甚广，FLIS的教师仍在致力于继续教育、帮助、支持我们的学生，提供高品质教学服务。所有核心课程（ELA、ELL、中文、数学、科学、社会研究、计算机科学和艺术）的教师都按照原定教学目标，精心为学生制定了极富吸引力的学习项目，以确保他们的学习能够继续取得进步。目前，FLIS教师团队已全面投入教学工作中，他们将付出比往日更多的精力帮助学生完成这些项目，并提供准确的评估，以便同学们获得学分。目前为止，来自教职员工与学生的反馈相当积极，随着情况的进一步发展，我们有信心继续提供最优质的教育。感谢全体师生的努力和家长的支持!
Despite the ongoing hindrances our staff have shown their dedication to the continued education and support of our students during this time. Teachers in all of our core subjects; ELA, ELL, Mandarin, Math, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science and Art have assigned engaging and purposeful projects to the students to ensure that progress in their studies can continue to be made. Teachers are currently using their own personal techniques using the resources available to help students with these projects and provide accurate assessment so that credits can be earned. So far the feedback from staff and students is very positive and we are confident we can continue to provide the best quality education as the situation develops further. Thank you to all the effort of our staff students and support from parents!
3月2号开始网络教学
ONLINE TEACHING FROM MARCH 2ND
从3月2日起，FLIS中学部将开始使用企业微信这个平台，为全体中学生进行在线教学。请您了解以下我们在这段时期对学生的新期望，并就不确定的方面询问班主任老师。
Starting March 2nd FLIS secondary will be implementing a full online teaching schedule for our students using WeChat Work as a consistent program used across the school. Please make yourself aware of the new expectations we will have of students during this time listed below and ask homeroom teachers of any aspect you are not sure of.
为了达到最佳教学水平，我们将为学生提供线上云课堂，令学生得以同老师进行互动，最大限度地投入学习。对每个学生而言，课程表中包含的教学时间与上学期相同，午餐时间更长，让学生可以灵活安排时间，但这意味着每日课程将持续至16点20分。
In order to facilitate the best quality teaching standards, we will be putting on live classes for students to be able to interact with their teachers and maximize learning. The timetable contains the same amount of teaching time as the previous semester for each student, a longer has lunch has been given to allow students more flexibility but this means classes will run until 16:20 each day.
我们对云课堂在线课程有如下期望：
These are the expectations with regards to the live classes:
▶ 每节课的安排将包括老师现场授课，和在老师的支持下独立完成的作业。
Each class scheduled will include a live lesson given by the teacher followed by assignments to be completed both with the support of the teacher and independently.
▶ 学生将通过发送到微信上的链接，用手机或平板直接点击访问直播课程，并可以在课程结束后回看。
Students will be sent a link on WeChat for each class in order to access the live class with a phone or pad and to watch again after the class has finished.
▶ 这些课程的出勤率和成绩都将被计入学分，以满足下一年级毕业的学分要求。
Both attendance and grades for these classes will be taken in order to meet the credit requirements for graduation to the next grade.
▶ 我们希望每个孩子能保证出勤率，但是我们也理解有时，因某些原因，并非每个学生都能参加每一节在线课堂。因此，每节直播课都将被录制下来，并通过微信发送给缺课的学生，学生可以在自己的时间观看课程，利用支持时间获得老师的帮助。在这种情况下，老师将从作业的提交和完成情况来衡量课堂出勤率。
Attendance for the live classes is expected where possible however we understand that circumstances may mean that some students cannot attend every live class. To accommodate this each live class will be recorded and sent to students who missed the class via WeChat, the student can then watch the class in their own time and use the support time to get help from teachers. In this case attendance of the class will be measured from the submission of assignments and homework.
▶ 由于这种教学方式对许多学生来说是全新的，所以我们每天还会留出14:45-16:20的时间，让老师们为那些正在努力适应的学生提供帮助。然而，如果学生能够顺利地获得知识，那么这个时间就可以用来完成体育、CAASEL和健康方面的选修课了。
Because this style of teaching will be new to many of the students, there will also be time set aside each day from 14.45 – 16.20 for teachers to provide support to students who are struggling to adjust. However if the student has managed to access the materials with no issues this time can be used to complete the elective assignments that will be sent out for PE, CAASEL, and Health.
如果您对新的教学计划或教学有任何疑问，请立即联系您孩子的班主任老师。我们将会尽力为您解答。
If you have any concerns with regards to the new schedule or regarding the teaching then please don’t hesitate to contact your homeroom teacher so we can accommodate the issue.
此致，
Yours Sincerely,
