Westwood Chinese School

Dear all,

Our Annual Performance is coming up this Sunday, May 18th! This is the most important celebration of the year at our Chinese School, showcasing the hard work and dedication of our students and teachers. Please encourage your children to keep practicing their performances — as the saying goes, “One minute on stage takes ten years of practice.” We look forward to seeing their wonderful performances!

📅 Date & Time: Sunday, May 18, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Location: Westwood High School Auditorium

Important Reminders:

• Please remind students to remain quiet and respectful while in the auditorium.
• Avoid frequent bathroom trips during the performances.
• Younger students must be accompanied by an adult when using the restroom.
• Dress Code: For Performers: Please wear neat and performance-appropriate clothing. Depending on your program, your teacher may have provided specific costume requirements—please follow them carefully. For Audience Members: As the event will be held in the school auditorium, we recommend dressing comfortably yet respectfully.
• We kindly ask all performers and audience members to stay for the entire show. Coming and going just to watch your own child’s performance is discouraged, as it disrupts the event and affects the experience for others.

🙏 Volunteers Needed:
Parents and high school students who are available to help, please join the volunteer group via the link below and sign up for a task.

📌 Looking Ahead:

2025-2026 Registration will begin on May 19 on our website.

Our final day of school will be June 8, when we’ll also host an Open House and on-site registration. Feel free to invite friends and neighbors to try out a class that day. You are also welcome to invite them to attend this Sunday’s Annual Performance and share the event program with them.

🍽️ The PTO will post details about the June 15 BBQ event in the group chat soon—stay tuned!

Thank you once again for your continued support and cooperation. We look forward to seeing you this Sunday for a morning of joy, talent, and community spirit!

Sincerely,
Westwood Chinese School Principal Grace (Jieping) Li

Dear Westwood Chinese School Community,

Due to the impending winter storm, Westwood High School will be closed on Sunday, February 9, 2025. Consequently, all Westwood Chinese School classes scheduled for that day are canceled. The make-up date for these classes is set for Sunday, June 8, 2025.

Our speech contest is scheduled for March 2. I encourage students to utilize this unexpected free time to prepare for their presentations.

Please stay safe and warm during the storm.

Best regards,

Grace Li

Principal, Westwood Chinese School
