期中家长会

11月20日至21日，国际部期中家长会在稻香湖校区和附中校区同时举行。

On November 20 and 21, staff from THIS were prepared to meet parents and talk about individual student progress.

家长会中，老师就学生的学习态度、课程内容、考试和作业完成情况与家长沟通，让家长全面了解学生的课堂表现，并挖掘学生的潜能和努力方向。家长也根据自己对孩子的期望，向老师提出他们的想法。家校携手，切实解决问题，真正为孩子找到个性化的学习提升路径。

学部主任和校⻓也与家长就如何更好地帮助孩子实现长远目标、如何为孩子接下来的学习生活设定总体规划进行了深入交流，共商良策。

At the PTC, THIS teachers communicated with parents about their children’s academic progress and performance, course content, tests results, giving them a full picture of how their children are doing in school, and at the same time helping the parents to build a supportive partnership with the school and provide the teachers with important information about the students. Parents also discussed their children’s progress and how they can work together with the teachers to ensure a successful year.

The Primary and Secondary Division Directors and the Principals also spoke with the parents on how to best support the students to achieve their long-term goals and how to set up a detailed roadmap for their upcoming school years.

家长通过PowerSchool系统，针对每个任课老师进行具体时段的预约。一对一的面谈形式，方便家长就自己关心的问题，有针对性地和老师讨论。

针对今年的特殊情况，目前仍在线上教学的个别教师也在专门的教室通过电脑设备与家长进行了线上交流。

Parents used the PowerSchool System to schedule meetings in advance. The one-to-one meeting was meant to allow all parents and teachers time to discuss the most concerning academic issues. And the computers were available so that parents can meet with teachers who are currently providing online instruction.

家长会中还为九年级和十年级的学生家长开设了有关大学升学的工作坊。升学指导老师Amy Zou和Catherine Zhao分别为家长们介绍了申请不同国家需要做的准备，如何更好地规划孩子的课程选择和课外实践活动。Reid Prichett 校长也就家长可以支持指导学生接下来的高中生活发表了一个讲座，家长们反响热烈。

Saturday afternoon, the college counseling department held college admission workshops for grade 9 and grade 10 parents. College counselor Amy Zou and Catherine Zhao elaborated on the preparations for applying to schools in different countries and how to better select course and plan extracurricular activities. Academic Principal Prichett also gave a talk on how parents can support and guide their children through the rest of their high school experience, which was well received by the parents.

“一对一与老师面谈的形式我很喜欢，老师真的对我孩子的学业情况十分熟悉和了解，全面的解答了我关心的各种对孩子学业上的细节的问题，让我很放心。”刚刚结束会面的一位家长说。

“Teachers from THIS are really familiar with my daughter and the one-to-one meeting can give me a comprehensive understanding of my children’s performance at school.”

得益于学校优越的师生比、教学水平精湛的中外籍老师，以及家校共育的努力，家长会顺利地举行，真正解决家长的疑虑、家校深度沟通是家长会最大的作用。一切为了孩子！

Thanks to the school’s superior teacher-student ratio, excellent teaching level of Chinese and foreign teachers, as well as the efforts of home school coeducation, the parents’ meeting was held smoothly. It is the most important role of parents’ meeting to truly solve the parents’ doubts and deeply communicate with the school. All for the children!
