Also, if you would like to have a table for a garage sale during the Family Fun Day to sell your own items, the cost is 50 RMB per family. Please contact Megumi at mmegu321@hotmail.com to register for a table and/or for any questions. The sign up deadline is Thursday, April 30th.

Encouraging Our Children to Read!
CDIS PTO (parent/teacher organization) will host an Elementary Parent Social on Thursday, March 19th from 10:00am to 12:00pm. The idea for this social will be to talk about different ways we can encourage our children to read. We will have someone from the school come and share information about our school library and how the reading levels work. We also hope to share about summer reading ideas.
Come join us for a time of talking with other parents and sharing ideas to encourage our children to enjoy reading. We will have ladies there to interpret for any one who is concerned about understanding the information.
If you would like to join your child for lunch after the social, please send an email to pto@cdischina.com so the lunchroom will prepare enough food.
Hope to see you there!

Two Important Things for Parents to Know
Elementary students in grades 1st – 5th will be allowed to purchase milk, juice, or yogurt during lunch starting 2nd quarter. If students choose to make a purchase, it will be charged to the student’s lunch account. The lunchroom workers nor the classroom teachers are able to police this, so please talk with your child and let him/her know if you will allow them to make these purchases. It will be the student’s responsibility to honor what you have said. Once a purchase is made, we cannot credit the cost back to the lunch balance.
Procedure for early pick-up during the school day:
Stop at reception desk
Tell receptionist who you are and who you are picking up (plus their grade)
Have a seat in the seating area
Receptionist will arrange for your child to be brought to you
Thank you CDIS parents! We appreciate you!

학부모님들이 꼭 아셔야 하는 두가지 사항
초등학교 1학년 -5학년 학생들은 2분기부터 우유, 쥬스, 요거트를 점심 시간에 사먹을 수 있습니다. 학생이 사먹기를 원한다면 그 학생의 점심 어카운트로 부과됩니다. 식당의 직원이나 교사들이 이것을 다 상관할 수 없으므로 자녀와 얘기 하셔서 자녀가 음료들을 사먹게 할 것인지 아닌지를 결정하시기 바랍니다. 부모님이 말씀하신 대로 따르는 것은 자녀의 책임입니다. 일단 자녀가 음료를 사먹은 후에는 다시 어카운트로 환불해 드릴 수 없으니 자녀와 잘 상의해 주시기 바랍니다.
자녀를 조퇴 시키실 경우:
1층 안내 데스크에 먼저 들르십시오.
안네 데스크 직원에게 부모님이 누구신지 누구를(몇학년) 데리러 오셨는지 알려주십시오.
로비에 있는 대기 장소에 앉아 기다려 주십시오.
안내 데스크 직원이 기다리시는 장소로 자녀가 내려오도록 처리할 것입니다.
CDIS 학부모님께 감사드립니다!
