Dear SCC Parents,
Due to the snow and rain expected tonight, the New Hyde Park School district will be closed tomorrow for safety reasons. Since we had only one snow day planned for the year—and we already used an emergency closure day on November 16—we are requesting approval to add January 4 as a SCC school day. This date was not originally included in our calendar, but adding it will ensure our students receive the instructional hours we planned.
In addition, our after-school programs will be extended to December 21.
This was a difficult decision: on one hand, we want to keep our program on schedule, but on the other hand, we do not want to risk anyone’s safety, especially given that many of our students are very young.
We apologize for the inconvenience this change may cause. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Warm regards,
各位尊敬的家长：
由于今晚将有降雪和降雨天气，为确保安全，学区通知我们明天学校将关闭。由于我们今年只预留了一个雪天补课日，并且今年 11 月 16 日因紧急情况已经停课一次，所以我们将申请学区批准 1 月 4 日 为我们中文学校的新增上课日。这个日期原本不在我们的校历中，但加入后能确保学生完成我们规划好的教学时数。
另外，课后补习将顺延至 12 月 21 日。
这是一个艰难的决定：一方面我们希望尽量维持课程进度，另一方面我们又不能冒险影响大家的安全，尤其是许多孩子都还很年幼。
对此给您带来的不便，我们深表歉意。感谢您的理解与配合。
