Dear Parents,

Greetings!

January 25 classes were canceled due to heavy snow. To make up for that closure, the Chinese School has designated this Sunday (February 8) as a regular school day. Please review the updates below.

📅️ School Calendar Update
The school calendar has been updated based on recent closures and make-up arrangements. Please see: ➡ [School Calendar]

❗️ This Sunday's Notes (Lunar New Year Festival Day Arrangements)
This Sunday is also the Millburn Lunar New Year Festival jointly hosted by the Chinese School and the Chinese Association. To ensure smooth event preparation and help students participate more fully, we will make the following arrangements:

1) Chinese Classes | Dismissal at 12:00 PM for all
Some classes will move Period 3 earlier, while others will keep Period 3 as usual; please follow your child's Chinese class teacher's notice.
For families whose children normally have a 4th-period Chinese class, please plan to pick up your child 30 minutes earlier than usual. Families are also welcome to go directly to the high school gym after dismissal to join the Festival.

2) Enrichment / Culture Classes
All enrichment/culture classes will meet as usual except for the following changes:
  • Competition Math & Game-based Math: No class this week (the instructor has made alternate arrangements)
  • Badminton: Class as usual; relocated to Room 139
  • Ballroom Dance: Class as usual; relocated to the Cafeteria
  • Basketball: Canceled for one session; the corresponding fee will be automatically credited back to your family account
  • Zumba: Canceled for on session; you may choose a make-up class or a refund (for a make-up class, please contact the instructor; for a refund, please email: info@millburntalent.org)
  • Rhythmic Gymnastics: Canceled for one session; the instructor has arranged a make-up plan

3) Stairway / Hallway Access
Before 11:30 AM, the main lobby at the high school entrance will be used for festival setup and will be temporarily restricted for safety and crowd control. Please follow the taped route and staff guidance, and use the left-side staircase to go between floors.

4) Parking
The westmost row of the high school parking lot will be reserved for vendors loading/unloading. Please do not park there.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
