\u00a0<\/em>Messages from the Academic Director<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your child(ren) will be absent from language class, please kindly inform the teachers and\u00a0state the reason for being absent.<\/p>\n

If your child has difficulty or struggles with language class or completing homework, please contact the Academic Director (acadmeci@pcls.org<\/a>) or his (her) language class teacher.<\/p>\n

Messages from the Culture Director<\/strong><\/p>\n

Culture Class – I hope all students are settled and happy with their culture class selection. If you must make a change and have a legitimate reason for it, please email me at\u00a0culture@pcls.org<\/a>. If your child is enrolled in a culture class but he\/she does not plan on attending, please also let me know so we can provide the teachers with the correct class roster.<\/p>\n

Drawing Contest – The contest will be held virtually this year.\u00a0 Registration & drawing will be submitted via Google Form.\u00a0 Since the contest will take place virtually and there will be no proctors to enforce the rules that are typically in place, we ask that the students complete the artwork independently without visual aids and parents\u2019 help.\u00a0 The link to the Google Form for registration will be announced next week. The submission deadline is 10\/18.<\/p>\n
