小学部家教会议 On 19 February, there will be no school for elementary students. Instead, teachers will be conferencing with parents. Your conference time has been scheduled and will be communicated via email and through your teacher’s newsletter. Here a few ways parents can make the most of their conference time:

1. Be on time. The elementary division is unique in that we schedule appointments for parents. This minimizes wait time. Please be considerate of the teacher’s and other parents’ schedules.  
2. Honor the time limit. If you need more than your allotted 15 minutes, please reschedule another appointment time.
3. Ask questions. Your child’s teacher is happy to address any questions or concerns you may have.
4. Be relaxed and be yourself. Teachers are looking forward to talking with you one on one. They value your partnership and want to get to know you better.  
5. Ask for a translator. If you are not comfortable conferencing in English, please arrange for or ask your teacher’s assistance in securing a translator.

  연합을 위한 스피릿 주간
校园精神周：2月12-14日 Purpose: To promote school unity between grades PK to 12. Dress up in the following daily themes of Spirit Week:

• Monday, the 12th (Spirit Day): Show your spirit for the Dalat Eagles by wearing yellow and blue! Feathers are appreciated too.
• Tuesday, the 13th (Crazy Day): Get crazy with a mismatched outfit and wild hair. The more you clash and flash, the better!
• Wednesday, the 14th (Holiday Day): Celebrate CNY and/or Valentine’s Day by wearing red. Or, if you want to be extra spirited, dress up as your Chinese birth year animal. 

*For all of the days, if uniform shorts aren’t worn, other shorts must be finger-length. No skin-tight clothing please. If a teacher deems an outfit as inappropriate, parents will have to bring a change of clothing immediately. Bottom line, please don’t distract learning with your spirit.

家教协会会讯 Thank you for ordering over 1,500 cookies during our PTO Valentine’s Day cookie fundraiser! We are looking forward to getting the cookies baked and passed out to classrooms and lockers on Valentine’s Day. Thank you for supporting the teachers and students of Dalat.

And while the cookies are cooling, we are already planning our next event — the International Food Fair! The event is planned for Friday, 9 March, from 4 to 6 p.m. Please consider attending a quick informational meeting this coming Monday, 12 February, at 2:30 p.m. in the student center. We will discuss which countries would like to be represented with a table at the food fair and explain how the event will run. This is PTO’s biggest and most attended event, so come be a part of the food and fun!
