Dear parents,
Thank you all for your support and effort in coping with this COVID-19 pandemic. We sincerely wish you and your family well and we are soon over the hump of this outbreak.
In this coming week, class rep will forward you the blank registration form for 2020-2021 school year. In order not to divulge personal information, we decided not to fill out individual student information on each registration form. We kindly ask parents to fill in all necessary information and forward the complete form to each class’s vice representatives.
As you are all aware, Silicon Valley Chinese School (SVCS) is a non-profit organization. All staffs and board members are parent volunteers without pay. Income from students' tuition are all used for teachers' salaries, classroom rental, textbooks, insurance for teachers and students, and some limited student activities. Despite relentless effort in reducing school wide expenses, our income has been lagging the increase of facility rental and insurance cost. Our school board has approved the tuition increase for the 2020-2021 school year during December board meeting. This increase of tuition income will offset the increase of facility rental and insurance cost while provide a competitive and equitable salary to our dedicated teachers. We will be able retain out highly qualified faculty and maintain SVCS’s small class size.
We are looking for 100% returning enrollment. We understand some of our families might have financial hardship due to this pandemic. Please contact school and investigate the possibility of applying for tuition assistance. The last thing we want to see the student drops out school. We will work with family to come up applicable solution.
Finally, wish all of you safe and healthy.

Sincerely,
 Angela Chen
President, 2019-2020 Board

## FAQ (Regarding registration and things for next school year) :

 Q : Why the returning registration due is on 5/1 and cannot be extended ?

 A : School does need staff resources and time to thoroughly process the registration data after returning-student registration deadline, therefore we cannot extend the current 5/1 registration due any more. Thank you for your understanding. 

Q : When we can go back to Lynbrook High for in-person class sessions ?

 A : Regarding when we can go back Lynbrook high classrooms, as long as Lynbrook high classrooms are opened to us again, we will return and have classes there immediately.

 Sincerely hope the COVID-19 pandemic will greatly slow down soon and all of us please keep well and stay healthy !

Q : When will be the 2nd Placement Test for school year 2020 ~ 2021 ?

A : Due to COVID-19 pandemic, currently school plans to hold the 2nd Placement test on 7/18/2020(Sat). Location is TBD and will be updated here once it is determined.
