Dear YK Pao School Community,
We hope that you have enjoyed a relaxing, restful and enjoyable summer break having enjoyed some quality time as a family. On behalf of all colleagues at the Primary Division I would like to welcome you all to the start of another exciting school year. New and exisiting staff have been working together for the last 10 days in order to prepare for welcoming our students and families back to school. Already, we have established a wonderful team spirit and our new staff members have settled extremely well; do please read the short biographies of our new staff. Many of you have already had the chance to meet with your child’s teacher and we hope that you are as excited as we are about the opportunities that come with being a member of the YK Pao School community.
Those of you who have been in to school will have noticed the re-decoration, enhanced air purification systems and the upgrading and refurbishment of our playground running track and roof playground. These projects have been keeping our General Services team very busy since the Summer Camps concluded at the end of July.
The installation of the air conditioning and purification system in the library has been a very significant project and may result in library closure for a day or two to enable a thorough clean up and for odours associated with the building materials to disperse properly.
We are always excited to welcome new students to our community and our Year 1 students have already been in. In addition, we have 25 students joining us from other schools and we are looking forward to welcoming them into our other Year groups and into the YK Pao School family.
This first newsletter of term is extremely important as it contains many details relating to the start of the school year. I would urge you to read it and to take note, in particular, of the first day arrangements and drop-off and parking routines. Additionally, there is a public holiday on 3rd to 5th September. The local education bureau requires that all students attend school as a ‘normal day’ on Sunday 6th September. Do please note this important date.
Please label all new items of uniform so that if misplaced, they can be returned efficiently. We are always surprised by how many items remain unclaimed.
We value the relationship that we have with our families very highly and would encourage you to play an active and supportive role in the education of your child. There will be many opportunities during the school year for us to meet and collaborate for the benefit of student learning and we really do welcome you play a full part in these activities.
Our best wishes to you all for a productive, enjoyable and very rewarding year.
Morning Drop-off at Wuding Road Campus
No cars are permitted to drive down Lane 1251
All cars must approach the school down West Wuding Road from Jiangsu Road and pull up before the entrance to Lane 1251. The two staff members on duty will open the car doors and get students out of the cars. Drivers/parents should stay in their cars and move off as soon as the students are out of the cars. This will ensure as quick a drop-off as possible.
Students will walk down the west side footpath directed by YK Pao School staff and in through the gate. At no time will students have to cross the road.
Unless parents have made appointments to see staff they will not be permitted to enter the campus from this Monday morning. All visitors must show their pick-up card or sign in and wear a Visitor tag so it can be seen easily.
Please inform your driver of these regulations so they can cooperate fully with YK Pao School staff.
Year 1 parents wishing to attend the first morning Flag raising should come by public transport or taxi as there is no parking on campus and very limited parking in the environs.
No playing after school
Please take you child home directly after they come down from the classroom. We need to keep the traffic moving on West Wuding Road so please do not stay while your child plays on the equipment. The playing facilities on the school grounds are not open to students after 3:50pm. For student safety, parents please do not talk with the teachers for a long time and do make sure that your child is well supervised.
Arrangements for the First Day
On Monday, 24th August, we will be using a modified timetable. We will start by raising the flag as usual on the soccer pitch, weather permitting. After morning exercise, new parents are welcome to attend the welcome assembly with students in the auditorium. Years 1/2 students will have their assembly between 8:40 and 9:00 am, Years 3/4/5 students will have their assembly between 9:10 and 9:30 am.
Due to the limited space, we do not wish parents to accompany their children to the classroom. Our teachers will welcome students outside and guide them to the classrooms. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
School Uniform
Students must wear the formal uniform every Monday and on the first day of school. A guide for the school uniform is attached for your reference.
Pick-up Card
New pick-up cards will be issued to all Years students and transfer students on the first day, Monday 24th August. Parents or guardians who are picking up students must show this card to Security and the student’s teachers before taking the student off the campus. Should you have any inquiries please contact Ms Carol Qian at: 61671999-8000
Nut-free School
As we have several students with food allergies we are declaring YK Pao School a ‘nut-free school’. Please do not send nuts or nut products to school in treats or snacks.
Timetable
As usual, the timetable is always a challenging project for our administration staff. The first week of school will be a trial period for the timetable and, if everything runs smoothly, it will be finalised and inserted into the homework diary at the beginning of week two.
Government Resources
As a Chinese school, YK Pao School receives government resources at the beginning of each semester. Some of the content of these resources is useful to support our school curriculum; much of it, however, is not relevant. Subject teachers will provide students with information on how these resources should be used. For instance, some of the books will be kept at home but are sometimes used as supplementary materials, while others are only for students’ reference at home.
Year 1 English
At YK Pao, we believe that our increasingly diverse student body receives an optimal learning environment when they are learning in a classroom with a range of language abilities. Research shows that ‘English learners help native English speakers learn through a second language, while native English speakers help English learners acquire the curriculum through English’ (Thomas & Collier, 2003), something we witness daily in a bilingual school. Therefore, since the last school year, we have begun moving away from streaming students according to ability. This proved to be a great success and we will continue to develop this new system in the coming school year.
Our lessons are derived from a blend of international curriculum standards from English speaking countries with an emphasis on continuity towards YKPao School secondary school. The YK Pao curriculum has been derived from Cambridge International (around 80%) supplemented by the New York (US Common Core) standards for literature, Australia and the national curriculum of England for phonics and spelling. Our standards are catered towards the needs of our diverse student body.
The English programme covers the following key components
- Language Conventions (Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation)
- Reading
- Writing
- Speaking and Listening
The programmes and resources are designed and chosen to meet the needs of each child and class, using the data collected from the recent Year One Assessment Day on Friday 21st August. Students will be closely monitored over the first few weeks to see whether we may need to offer further language support to some children. Thank you to those parents who used the resources we shared with you in a previous Parent Meeting late last semester. Your support is appreciated.
Wet Day Dispersal
To ensure a safe and neat process when releasing on wet days, we would ask that all parents who are collecting their children assemble and wait OUTSIDE the West Building. You will be asked to wait until your children are ready for collection. We will then ask parents, one year group at a time, to go to a designated classroom in each year group to collect their child. Your child will be handed over to you by a teacher.
- Year 5 parents enter the building at 3.50 p.m. (Y5A, RM 1412)
- Year 3 and 4 parents will be invited to enter the building at 3.55 p.m.
(Y3B, RM 1312; Y4B, RM 1310)
- Year 1 and 2 parents will be invited to enter the building at 4:00 p.m
(Y1A, RM 1213; Y2B, RM 1210)
Please note that all parents are asked to use the small staircase on entry to the building and to use the main staircase on exiting. Thank you for your cooperation.
Late supervision in Room 2220 East Building
If you arrive later than 4pm to pick up your child you will find him/her in Room 2220 of the East Building. Please understand that this service is only there to support those parents who are bit late due to the traffic situation, it is not homework time or a facility for students to stay after school. If you want your child to finish his/her homework at school after school is over, s/he can attend homework club, provided through the after school Enrichment Programme.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
Parent –Teacher BBQ
We cordially invite all parents to meet with staff informally at a Barbeque on Friday August 28th at 6.00 p.m. This will be an opportunity to for us to host our first community event of the year. You will have the opportunity to meet members of the school PTA Committee at this event, and to meet the newest members of our school community. Do please try to come!
A small session for Y1 parents is arranged right before the BBQ, so Y1 parents will be able to meet the teaching team first at 17:30 – 18:00 in the Auditorium.
**Please note that the school has no facilities for parking**

Message from Marketing and Communications
We have many exciting events planned for this new year. To ensure we capture every precious moment, as well as provide a platform for parents to better connect with the school, we are asking for parent volunteers who may be professional photographers, videographers or video producers and would be willing to contribute their expertise and time to Pao School and earn some valuable experience. If you would be able to help us, please let us know (chris.wang@ykpaoschool.cn).

- identify changes of pitch (which note is higher or lower)
- copy simple rhythms
- copy finger positions and holding the instrument
The group lessons are free and lead towards joining the highly successful school orchestra. These initial lessons will be on Monday lunchtimes. When students become good enough and pass the auditions for orchestra, they can join. Sectional rehearsals for orchestra are on Friday lunchtimes and full rehearsals happen after school on Thursdays.
The DEADLINE to apply for group Violin or Cello lessons is this coming Friday – FRIDAY 28th AUGUST.

More details will follow.

各位包校集体成员,
衷心希望大家都度过了一个轻松愉快的暑假,同时,也趁着假期得以与家人共聚天伦。我谨代表包校小学部全体员工热烈欢迎我们的学生和家庭返回校园,让我们一起迎接一个令人激动的新学年。为了迎接大家,在过去的10天里,新老员工们已经积极地做好了准备工作。随着新员工的顺利融入,我们也已经建立起了非常棒的团队合作,您也可在校长来信中查阅到新员工的简介。很多家长都已经见过了自己孩子的班主任老师,相信你们与老师一样,对有机会成为包校一份子而感到兴奋。
开学前来过学校的家长们应该已经留意到,我们的校园已经焕然一新。每个教室现在都已安装了新风系统,操场的跑道和屋顶游乐园也已翻新完毕。自暑假夏令营在七月底结束后,我们的后勤部门就一直在监督并推进这些工程项目开展。
图书馆里新风系统的安装是一项比较大的工程,因此图书馆可能还需闭馆一、两天来进行彻底的清洁与通风散味。
我们总是非常高兴能迎来新同学,而我们的一年级新生也已经来校报到过了。此外,我们还将迎来25位转学生加入其他各个年级,让我们也欢迎他们的到来。
新学期的第一封校长来信是非常重要的,它涵盖了大量开学伊始需要注意的信息与细节。我希望各位能仔细阅读并记录一些比较特殊的安排,特别是第一天的安排以及接送车辆的注意事项。此外,想要提醒大家的是,9月3日至5日为公共假期。根据教育局规定,9月6日星期天为正常上学日,因此,学生须在当天来校上学,还望家长们注意。
请将所有的校服单品都做好标签,这样,如果学生发生乱放衣物的情况,也可以比较有效快速地找回自己的东西。否则,无人认领的物品很多的让人吃惊的。
包校非常重视家校之间的关系,并鼓励家长在孩子的教育过程中发挥积极的支持作用。在新的一年里,为了孩子的平衡发展,我们将会有很多会面与合作的机会,我们也真心欢迎您踊跃参加这些活动。
最后,让我们一起携手迎接一个精彩纷呈、趣味横生又意义非凡的一年!
武定西路校区早晨送孩子
任何车辆不能驶入1251弄弄堂内
任何车辆不能进入1251弄的弄堂内。所有车辆必须从江苏路进入武定西路,将车靠边停在不到1251弄的地方。学校两名员工将等候在那里为孩子开车门,并帮助他们下车。司机或家长应留在车内,孩子下车后,请尽快将车驶离。这是为了确保车辆最短时间的停留。
学生将在包校员工的引领下在弄堂人行道上步行至校门口。任何时候,学生都不必穿越马路。
从周一起,家长早晨不能进入校园,除非已提前与我校老师预约见面。所有访客必须出示接送卡或者在门卫处登记并佩戴访客卡。
请告知您的司机这些信息,以便他们全力与包校员工合作。
由于校园禁止停车、校园周围的停车位有限等因素,请想要参加升旗仪式的一年级新生家长尽量选择公共交通或出租车来校送学生。
放学后请勿在校园玩耍
放学时孩子从教室出来后,请家长直接把他们接回家。我们需要保持武定西路的交通顺畅,因此请勿将车停在该路段上等候玩耍的孩子。学校操场上的活动设施在15:50以后将不对学生开放。请家长也不要长时间与老师们攀谈聊天,这是为了保证孩子放学后的监护和安全。
开学第一天安排
8月24日(周一)我们将遵照特殊时间表。升旗仪式照常进行,如果天气条件允许,就在足球场上进行升旗仪式。晨会以后,欢迎新生家长与孩子一起参加在礼堂举行的欢迎集会。一、二年级集会在8:40-9:00进行,三、四、五年级集会在9:10-9:30进行。
由于场地有限,我们不希望家长送孩子进教室,老师将在门口迎接并引领学生进班级。感谢您的理解与配合。
校服
学生每周一和开学第一天必须穿正装校服。附件里是校服规范,供家长们参阅。
接送卡
我们将于8月24日(周一),即开学第一天为所有学生发放新的接送卡。家长或监护人来接学生时必须向保安和老师出示此卡方可将学生带出校园。如您有任何疑问,请联系钱舜珺老师 (Carol Qian):61671999-8000
无坚果学校
由于我校有一些学生有食物过敏的问题,因此我们在此宣布,包校是一所“无坚果学校”。请不要将任何坚果或带有坚果成分的食物带到学校来。
课表
排课对行政员工而言是一项充满挑战的任务。通常,第一周是课表的试运行期。若运行正常,随后我们将定稿,班主任会将班级的课表贴在学生的家校联系簿上。
政府教学资源
作为一所中国学校,包校在每学期开学时会获得一些政府发放的教学资源。其中一些内容对我校课程有辅助作用,但大部分内容与我们相关性不大。学科老师会与学生分享如何使用这些资源,例如,一些本地教材可以放在家里,有时将它们作为辅助资料,而另一些仅作为学生的参考书放在家里。老师会提前告知学生这些信息。
一年级英语
在包校,尽管学生主体趋于多元化,但我们坚信,学生在语言能力有差异的班级中也能得到最理想的学习环境。研究表明,英语学习者可通过第二语言帮助以英语为母语的人,而以英语为母语的人也可以通过英语交流帮助英语学习者更好地掌握这门语言(Thomas和Collier发表于2003年)。这也是我们在一所双语学校所能遇见的日常现象。因此,从上学年开始,我们已经逐步改变以学生语言能力进行分层的模式,而事实也证明这也是行之有效的举措,我们将在新学年里继续发展并完善这个新系统。
我们既参考英语国家的国际课程标准,又注重与包校中学部之间的衔接性。包校的课程借鉴了剑桥国际课程标准(约占80%)、辅以纽约的文学学习标准(美国核心课程)、澳大利亚课程标准和英国国家课程中关于自然拼读与拼写的标准。我们的标准是满足不同学生的需求。
包校的英语课程涵盖以下几个要素
- 语言要求(语法、拼写和标点)
- 阅读
- 写作
- 口语表达和听力
根据8月21日刚刚进行的一年级英语测试的数据,课程项目和资源都已根据学生和班级的学习需求进行了度身定制。在接下来的两周中,老师将仔细观察学生们的学习情况,可能根据实际情况做出微调并为部分学生提供进一步的语言支持。在上学期家长会上,我们与家长分享了一些学习资源,感谢所有使用这些资源的家长们的支持。
雨天放学
为了确保雨天放学时的安全性和流畅性,我们希望雨天来接孩子放学的家长们能先在西楼教学楼外集中并等待。当您的孩子已经做好接领准备的时候,我们会按年级请家长到指定的教室去接孩子。届时会有一名老师在教室里将孩子交给家长。
- 五年级家长于15:50进入教学楼去指定教室接孩子(Y5A, RM 1412)
- 三、四年级家长于15:55进入教学楼去指定教室接孩子
(Y3B, RM 1312; Y4B, RM 1310)
- 二年级家长于16:00进入教学楼去指定教室接孩子
(Y1A, RM 1213; Y2B, RM 1210)
请注意,我们要求所有家长从侧楼梯上楼,从主楼梯撤离,感谢各位的支持。
晚托看管在东楼2220教室
如您不得不在下午4点以后来接孩子,请前往东楼2220晚托看管教室。我们希望家长能理解,该服务是为了帮助那些因交通状况而晚到的家长,我们不是为孩子在放学后留校做作业而设置此服务的。如您需要让孩子放学后留在校内写作业,请报名拓展课的“作业俱乐部”。感谢您的理解和配合。
家长老师非正式会面–烧烤活动
我们诚挚地邀请所有家长参加8月28日(下周五)晚18:00在篮球场举行的家长老师非正式会面活动。这是包校集体在新学年里的第一个社交活动。您将有机会同家校协力会的成员、包校老师和其他新成员见面。希望大家踊跃参加。
此外,我们还为一年级学生家长在烧烤活动开始前安排了一个小型见面会,家长们可以借着此次机会和一年级团队先见上一面。家长见面会将于17:30-18:00在礼堂举行。
**请注意,学校将不提供停车服务**
