家校沟通，共话未来成长

Communication between home and school for children’s future growth

11月13日，清华附中国际部线上秋季家长会顺利进行。冬日虽然寒冷，但家校之间的紧密沟通和对孩子成长倾注的满满爱意，让大家的内心都充盈着暖流。此次家长会中，学校校长和老师们主要就学生的全方面在校情况与家长进行深入交流，并且共同探讨了孩子们在清华附中国际部的学习与成长。

On November 13, the THIS Parent-Teacher Conferences were successfully held. Although it was a cold winter day outside, the home-school communication was full of care and warmth as teachers and parents talked about children’s growth. During the PTC, school administrators and teachers had in-depth discussions with parents about the students’ comprehensive performance at school.

“校长面对面”一直是清华附中国际部家长会的传统之一。在与校长的谈话中，家长们都对清华附中国际的教学理念以及学生培养表示了高度认可。家长们特别指出，学校小班化教学使得老师们能够关注每个孩子，对孩子的了解甚至胜过于家长，这令大家十分感动。学校“以学生为中心”为理念的教育教学和校园环境，全方位保证了孩子们能够学得扎实、学得精彩。家长们纷纷说到，在交谈时，老师对孩子在学校成长的方方面面都如数家珍，由此足见老师们对孩子教育的用心，孩子们因此也深深热爱着校园。李校长对家长们给予学校的信任和肯定表达了由衷的感谢，同时也欢迎大家为学校的发展和学生的成长提出积极建议。

Meeting with the Principal has always been a tradition at the THIS PTC. Parents expressed their high recognition for the THIS teaching philosophy and the cultivation for the students. In particular, the parents noted that the small class size of the school allows the teachers to focus on the growth of each child and know them even better than the parents, which is really impressive. Additionally, the school’s student-centered approach and learning environment support our students as they continue to learn with joy and challenge. The parents also said that when they talked to the teachers, they were very familiar with all aspects of the children’s growth at school, which shows how much they care about the children. In return, the children also show gull love for the school. Principal Li expressed her sincere thanks to the parents for the trust and affirmation they give to the school, and also welcomed positive suggestions for the development of the school and the growth of the students.

小学部主任Britni Padilla表示，家长会是家校共同反思学生成长和寻求进步的一个重要时机。老师与家长的会面，是为了更好地了解学生目前在学习和习惯养成方面的优势，与家长探讨如何进一步支持学生们的成长。同时,也让老师们进一步了解学生及其家庭，促进每个孩子在课堂内外收获成就和幸福感。紧密的家校互动能够帮助老师们在教学中创造最好的环境和最有效的教学策略，同时也可以向家长提供在家庭中支持孩子学习的最佳建议。因此，清华附中国际部小学部始终致力于建立紧密的家校联系。

Primary Division Director Ms. Britni Padilla emphasizes that our PTC is an important chance to reflect on student growth and areas for improvement for the school year. Teachers meet with parents about students’ current strengths academically and behaviorally and discuss next steps to support students. This is also a time for teachers to learn more about students, their families and their home life. It is a crucial opportunity to improve each child’s achievement and happiness inside and outside the classroom. These important interactions give teachers an opportunity to create the best environments and use the most effective strategies in their teaching, while providing parents with information on how to support their children academically at home. This is why building a strong home-school connection is so important in THIS Primary.

中学部主任Dieu-Anh Nguyen表示，秋季家长会是为了让家长和老师面对面交流并分享有关学生的学习进度。全校老师通力合作，及时高效的沟通和技术支持使得线上家长会顺畅进行，再一次体现了清华附中国际部强大的团队精神。家长会也标志着学生们第一阶段学习的结束，第一学期的后半段已在如火如荼地进行了！在老师的指导下，学生们正忙着继续进行他们的项目学习和各类研究讨论。

Like the primary, the PTCs are designed to offer parents and teachers the opportunity to meet and share information about student progress. Secondary Division Director, Ms. Dieu-Anh Nguyen, the Secondary Division Director, congratulates the entire school team for ensuring that communication about the process along with technical support was clear, concise, and timely. The secondary division demonstrated such teamwork helping one another as we were adding new skills to accommodate the online format. This fall PTC marks the end of quarter 1. THIS students with guidance from their teachers are busily continuing on with their projects and class discussions as the second half of the first semester is in full swing! 

我们十分感谢家长们在此次家长会中对学校的安排给予了充分的理解与支持。通过线上见面的方式，我们与每一位家长都能及时沟通。家长和老师们热切地讨论孩子的学习生活，并且对学校发展提出了真诚建议，温馨融洽的谈话气氛一下子将家校间的距离又拉近了许多。

We really appreciate our parents for their understanding and support for the school’s arrangement. Through the online meetings, the school was able to communicate with each parent in a timely manner. Parents and teachers eagerly discussed their children’s academic life and the further development of THIS. This genuine atmosphere immediately brought the distance between home and school much closer.

家庭和学校是孩子成长的摇篮，二者共同承担着见证和赋能成长的责任。在此次家长会中，李文平校长表示清华附中国际部关注每个孩子的点滴成长，重视与每位家长的沟通。李校长鼓励家长在家庭教育中，多多肯定孩子的进步和优点，关注孩子学习和成长的过程。她说到,“我们不仅要关注孩子学业的进步，更要重视孩子的身心健康，注重孩子的‘暖度’，赋能每个孩子的综合素质发展”。同时，希望家校之间继续保持顺畅沟通，相信家校合力能够创造更多交流的机会，共同成就孩子的成长，让孩子们在成长中收获更多幸福！

The family and the school are the cradle of children’s growth, both of which share the responsibility of witnessing and empowering children’s achievements in life. For the PTC, Principal Li expresses that THIS pays attention to every step of children’s growth and values communication with each parent. Principal Li encouraged parents to recognize their children’s progress and merits and to praise them sincerely at home. She said, “We should not only attach importance to the progress the children make in study, but also pay attention to the ‘warmth’ of our students and empower their overall development.” Additionally, Principal Li hopes the smooth home-school communication will continue and the combined efforts of home and school will create more opportunities for student achievement and growth. Our students will reap the many benefits and happiness from their growth!
