Language Class Changes
This week is the LAST week you can change your language class.
Each student has ONE chance to switch language class between the 2nd and 3rd week. After the 3rd week (9/25), NO change to the language class is allowed. If you have any questions regarding the class placement, please reach out to me (I’ll be at the “administration table” in the cafeteria this Sunday, or you can email me at academic@pcls.org).
Textbooks
-
Textbooks will only be given to the students who have registered and paid
-
If you received a textbook bundle (including textbook, homework book, CD if any, and flashcard if any), but decided to change your language class, please return the bundle to me and exchange it for a new one. However, if you have any markings or have used any workbook sheets, you CANNOT return the bundle. You’ll have to buy a new textbook bundle. It’s $20 per bundle (textbook, homework book, CD if any, and flashcard if any).
Teacher parking
Our teachers and admin staff always carry a lot of teaching materials with them. If they park far away from the building, they’ll have to carry the heavy stuff and walk a long way to the classrooms. Thus, if possible, I would strongly encourage everyone to save the parking spots that are close to the building to our teachers (priority) and admin staff. Just a small way to express our gratitude to our teachers. Thank you!!
