| Change of Chinese Literacy Assessment at Jing Mei (School Communication for K-5th Grade)
As you all have learned at curriculum night and parent-teacher conference time, this year we started using a new curriculum for Chinese literacy across K-5—Mandarin Matrix. Since we started piloting this new curriculum last year, we have noticed the gap between this curriculum and the assessment tool we’ve been using in the past few years—Chinese TRC (Text Reading Comprehension) assessment. Therefore, this year we will be using the newly designed Mandarin Matrix semester assessment as a new tool to assess students’ learning. This change will be effective starting from Middle of Year assessment window(early January to Mid-February) this year. We are making change mainly due to the following to reasons:
We understand there is no perfect assessment tool, and this will also be only 1 of the many data points we use to measure students’ learning. We will gather feedback from teachers, students and staff members this year again and make adjustments accordingly if needed. |
景美中文程度评估考试的变化（K-5年级的学校交流）
正如大家在课程之夜和家长会时间所了解到的那样，今年我们开始在K-5中使用新的中文读写课程——Mandarin Matrix。自从我们去年开始试行这个新课程以来，我们注意到这个课程与我们过去几年一直在使用的评估工具——中文TRC（文本阅读理解）评估之间的差距。因此，今年我们将使用新设计的学期评估作为评估学生学习的新工具。此更改将从今年的年中评估窗口（2024年1月初至2月中旬）开始生效。 我们做出改变主要是由于以下原因：
我们知道没有完美的评估工具，这也只是我们用来衡量学生学习的众多数据点之一。今年，我们将再次收集教师、学生和工作人员的反馈，并在必要时做出相应的调整。 |

Description: Technology is everywhere in our lives. It can provide great benefits; yet when not used with age-appropriate limits and supports, excessive technology use can affect students’ social and emotional functioning. In this session participants will learn about the dual nature of technology, how to support your student in responsible use, and help parents set limits when necessary.
Description: Anxiety is one of the most common issues children face that can lead to challenges in school and life. The pandemic and remote schooling showed how anxiety can affect all areas of children’s lives. In this presentation participants will learn about the causes of childhood anxiety, how to know when anxiety may need additional support, and how to access help within the Bellevue School District and community. Specific strategies will be provided to parents to help their child at home.
Description: Striving for excellence and having high standards are considered a healthy adaptive and protective coping strategies in life, yet setting excessively high standards with high levels of self-criticism can be unhealthy. In this presentation participants will learn about the definitions of perfectionism, how to know when students’ perfectionism tendencies can become harmful, and how to help students develop a more balanced perspective at home and school.

| Fire Drill (School Communication to Prek to 5th Grade)
Washington state law and Bellevue School District policy require all schools to hold at least one drill per calendar month while school is in session. This month, we will be conducting a fire drill and practicing evacuating the building and accounting for everyone. During a fire evacuation, students are taught to quickly and quietly exit the building. They meet on the field at an assigned location and stay silent while attendance is taken to ensure all people have safely evacuated. Please talk with your student about preparing for emergencies and disasters such as fires. Encourage them to talk about their concerns and express their feelings. Emphasize that even though sometimes things happen that we may not expect, there are lots of things we can do to help us stay safe. For more information on fire safety, you might want to visit the National Fire Protection Association “Kids” page at http://www.sparky.org/ or their parent resource page at http://www.sparky.org/parents. |

| WIDA Access Inform Letter （School Communication for JM K-5th Grade)
Each year, students in English learner programs take the ACCESS for ELLs assessment to measure their English knowledge and skills. The test measures academic English language proficiency for students learning English in our school and throughout our state. It is an online assessment given to all students in grades 1 to 12 who are eligible for English language development (ELD) services. Students in Kindergarten will take the WIDA Kindergarten ACCESS test as their annual ELP assessment. Both of these assessments measures students’ English language proficiency, both knowledge and skills, in four language domains (reading, listening, writing, and speaking). Teachers in our school use this information to help them make decisions about instruction for your child. Teachers also use these test scores to monitor the progress your child makes toward English proficiency. The annual testing window for Spring 2024 is from 1/29/2024 to 3/22/2024. When students take the test, they start with practice items that help familiarize them with the test platform. Your child does not need to study for this test. The test is an opportunity for students to demonstrate what they understand and can communicate in English. Please prepare for test day by making sure your child gets plenty of sleep and eats breakfast before testing. If you have any questions or concerns, please email our MLL facilitator, Ms. Wei ([email protected]). |

| On your marks, get set, Girls on the RUN! (PTSA Communication to 3-5 Gr. )
It’s that time of year again, when the Jing Mei Girls on the Run program kicks off for our annual Spring Season. For those who haven’t participated before, GotR is about much more than just running. The GotR program is designed to:
The GotR program is delivered by volunteer coaches who complete extensive training focused on fostering an inclusive environment, celebrating individual achievements, and creatively integrating movement in a fun and motivating way. For the 2022 season, the Jing Mei Girls cumulatively ran from Bellevue to Vancouver BC. for the 2023 season, we cumulatively ran from Bellevue to Vancouver BC, and BACK! we can’t wait to see how far the girls will run this year! Participants don’t need to already be runners! Girls currently in 3rd through 5th grades, who are willing to try running are welcome to sign-up. Space is limited, and is allotted on a first come first serve basis. We are also eagerly looking for any volunteers (specifically Moms/aunts/grandmas) who might be interested in joining our current volunteer team. The more volunteers we have, the more girls we can allow into the program. This is a great opportunity to have fun, interact with your daughter (or daughters) and her friends in a unique and healthy way, and learn together. (especially if you have a 5th grader, these opportunities to participate in things together largely disappear in Middle School.) You don’t need to be a runner, and don’t necessarily need to run with the girls, just to be there to encourage and help is enough! Our 10-week season will be held every Wednesday (1:15-2:45) and Friday (3.30-5:00) after school beginning on March 25th, and ending with our celebratory regional 5K fun run at Renton Memorial Stadium on May 19th. Connection and teamwork build confident and resilient girls. Girls on the Run provides a safe and inclusive space to thrive and flourish—register your girl today by visiting www.gotrpugetsound.org and signing up for Jing Mei elementary. Partial and full scholarships are available. Visit www.gotrpugetsound.org to learn more and register.
