Dear Parents/Guardians and Students of AACCOM:

We wish everyone to stay healthy and safe.
家長和學生們，大家好：

希望大家在這段居家期間安全和健康！

Due to the continuation of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Michigan, and the determination by the state government to “Stay at Home” and close all public schools through the end of school year, we will not be able to use the King Elementary School facilities anymore for classes or extracurricular activities when our Chinese School is scheduled to restart at April 24th.

因為COVID-19在密西根的疫情嚴重，密西根州州長頒佈居家令並下令各級學校停課，安娜堡中文學校原定四月二十四日恢復上課，因而無法繼續使用King小學進行任何面對面的課堂或課外活動。

However, the end of facility usage doesn’t need to mean the end of learning.  Over the past few weeks, Principal Gau, the teachers, parent representatives and the academic team had hurdled together to come up with a plan to continue the Chinese learning for students staying at home.  The following are our distance learning plans ahead.

即使如此，實體教室學習的中斷並不代表中文的學習要因此停止。過去的幾個星期，高校長、全體老師、教務組、和家長代表們密集地開會和溝通，擬訂了遠距中文學習的計畫，讓居家的中文學校學生也能夠繼續學習中文。以下是遠距中文學習的計畫簡介。

1.     The distance learning would start, in principle, on Friday, April 24th, but not limited to that date. 

遠距學習原則上于四月二十四日星期五開始，不過日期會視各班聯絡情況而有所調整。

2.     Teachers of each class will start contacting the students and parents/guardians very soon to specify the format of the distance learning, including but not limited to the virtual meeting date and time, class materials, and interactive activities. 

各班老師會盡快與班上家長和學生聯絡並宣佈遠距學習的型式，例如視訊日期時間、學習內容、和互動式的活動等等。

3.     Each teacher will prepare the classes as he or she feels is appropriate for the age group but in general will follow an interactive Virtual meeting.  Each class can have their own ways to make learning fruitful and fun.  We encourage all families to work with the teachers and welcome your innovative ideas to improve this effort.  

各班老師會以個人經驗並根據學生的年齡和特性來決定學習方式，不過一般會採用互動式的視訊學習。中文學校鼓勵家長和老師密切合作，歡迎家長提供任何能豐富孩子學習經驗的創意點子。

The common goal is to continue students’ learning and to maintain a sense of family-oriented community that our school has always been striding ourselves to be.  Hopefully Ann Arbor Chinese School will be part of the solution to help all parents and students through this tough “stay-at-home” period.  If you have any questions, please contact us at board@aaccom.org. 

安娜堡中文學校的現階段目標是持續學生的中文學習，並凝聚所有家庭共同度過這段艱難的時刻。如果有任何疑問或需要任何協助，請不要猶豫，隨時聯絡董事會。我們都是安娜堡中文學校的一份子，讓我們一起加油❤️      

Sincerely
