各位老师、同学和家长好！
鉴于目前中国国内日益严峻的新型冠状病毒感染肺炎的疫情传播，我们周末中文学校华人又高度聚集，我校本着对全校师生和社区居民健康安全负责的态度，经过慎重讨论之后决定：
2020学年原定2月1日开学日推后至2月15日，顺延两周开学，第一学期的最后一周变为3月28日。第一学期减少一周，共七周；第二学期增加一周（即原定6月6日/7日放假改为上课），共十周。第一学期：2月15 – 3月28
同时，我们要求所有去中国大陆和其它受此次疫情影响的城市和地区旅游的老师和学生，建议留在家中自我观察至少两个星期无异常症状后再返回学校上课，以尽可能保障全校师生的健康安全。
鉴于此，所有新生咨询报名、老生付费一律改在2月15日/开学后接待。届时，支付全年学费的一律享受提前付费的所有优惠。
感谢大家的理解和支持，并请互相转告为盼！

Due to the outbreak of Wuhan coronavirus recently in China, concerns have been raised among parents worrying that the virus could be spread in Chinese school when students and parents come back to school on the first day of Term 1 as scheduled on 1 Feb. Considering the health of the whole school community members, we have decided that the start of Term 1 is postponed from 1 Feb to 15 Feb and thus the end of Term 1 would be on 28 March as follows. Which makes Term 1 seven weeks in total. There will be 10 weeks in Term 2 instead of 9 weeks.
Students and staffs are suggested to stay at home or visit GPs if symptoms of flu or pneumonia are noticed. When you come back to school, please make sure the symptoms are clear to protect the health of all the staff, teachers, parents and students of the school.
The 2020 enrolment for all the new and old students would be open from 15 Feb. Parents would Still be able to enjoy the earlybird benefits if you pay the tuition fees for the whole year at once.
Thank you for your understanding and support. It would be much appreciated if you could pass the information around.
Best regards,
Eastern Chinese Language School
