In Grades 1 to 3, some classes at our school are conducting trials of teaching Chinese language using Mandarin. For those students who are assigned to these classes, the school will send a letter indicating “Mandarin as the teaching language for Chinese language courses” to their parents. The unified registration period for class placement is from Tuesday, June 9, 2026, to Wednesday, June 10, 2026. The deadline for submitting this letter is after the class placement trials and parent-teacher meetings on July 7, 2026. For those who fail to submit the letter on time or do not participate in the class placement trials, the school will make the final decision regarding their class placement. From 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, parents are welcome to bring their children to the playground to purchase school uniforms, textbooks, and information about the school bus service.
