2)    Finding your classroom
Please arrive 10-15 minutes before your class starts, and make sure you know your class info (Class, Time, Classroom). A good way is to print out your admission letter and bring it with you.

3)    Late Registration
a.    Our registration system has been re-opened to accept late registrations. Please login to the school's registration system at http://www.hxpcs.org/registration. You need to create a new family account if you don't have one.
b.    You will receive textbooks and exercise books for Chinese classes from the teachers if the students were registered by August. Those who registered in September should contact the Admin team at the front desk for textbooks and exercise books.

4)    Parent-Teacher Meeting
a.    On the first day of school, all parents for Grade 8 and lower are encouraged to stay in the classroom at the beginning of the first period, as the teachers will announce teaching plan and distribute important class information.
b.    For Grade 9 parents, a meeting will be held in Room 227 from 1:30 - 2:15pm.  The room may be a little tight since we have ~80 students in Grade 9 classes. Sorry for any inconvenience.

5)    Free Walk-In Classes
The free classes of Senior English and Adult Chinese are offered again as a service to our community this year.  Adult Chinese #1 will be open on Sunday, 08Sept2013.  Adult Chinese #2 and Senior English Classes will be open starting on 15Sept2013. No registration is required for these classes.

6)    New Issue and New Editors of PCS Voices (普兰之声)
PCS Voices《普兰之声》is a weekly Chinese school students newspaper, established in 2011 with the support from Principal Zhang Xun and his admin team. It was founded with the purpose of showcasing students' Chinese writings and promoting Chinese culture. Over the past two years, PCS Voices has been growing up gradually, and successfully published 60 issues. Meanwhile we trained student editors, assistant chief editors; selected Editor in chief from teachers. Student editors have two-year term, then can be selected as vice chief editors that is also in two-year term, and Editor in chief has one-year term.
This year editorial room has been expanded to include two chief editors (Teacher Yao Ting and Teacher He Xin), two vice chief editors (students), and five student editors. Let's give honors to the previous Editor in chief, Teacher Wei Yali and student editors Lu Zhang and Kaixi Shao. They did a great job and gained a lot of experiences as well. Best wishes to them.
Interested students are welcome to contact Wang Dai, Deputy Academic Dean to apply for joining the editorial board. The requirements are Chinese language proficiency, time management, and attention to detail.
A new issue of PCS Voices, #61 is posted to https://sites.google.com/site/pcsvoices/
