ICEC Newsletter 2022-2023 No 6- Urgent Note

Dear Parents,

It was brought to our attention on March 24th, 2023, that a political page posted a clip of our students performing during the Nowruz celebration. This clip was neither recorded nor posted by ICEC. We have submitted a take-down notice from this page and await their response.

While we appreciate parents, relatives, and friends sharing content from ICEC events, we encourage you to use caution when sharing ICEC-related content.

Best wishes and happy New Year!

نوروزتان پیروز، هر روزتان نوروز

 

ICEC Newsletter 2022-2023 No 5- Nowruz 1402

Dear Friends and ICEC Community,

Our heartfelt gratitude to the past and present students, parent-volunteers and the instructional staff for offering a Nowruz celebration, which after three years once again brought our community together to enjoy the best of Iranian culture. Your dedication, creativity, perseverance, and tireless efforts behind the scenes helped overcome major unexpected challenges that otherwise would have largely impacted the students’ excitements to shine through the performances they had worked on.    

The ninety-minute uplifting program during which our children presented with exuberance the best of the Iranian rich culture through class performances, dances, music, and play was testimony to their sense of pride in their cultural heritage. This year’s Nowruz celebration like the previous ones is a reminder that together we have successfully built a community that nurtures cultural awareness as the cornerstone of a peaceful world and thus provides our children with the needed foundation not only to appreciate multi-culturalism, but also to strive towards promoting it. 

Thank you again for your unwavering support of our shared values,

ICEC

Mehregan Celebration 
 
Dear Parents,

Student-volunteers with the support of the Community and School Association of Iran Cultural and Educational Center (ICEC) and the instructional staff have prepared a short program in celebration of Mehregan that will take place on Saturday, October 15th, in the All-Purpose Room of the school. Regretfully, we will not be able to extend the invitation to the parents, because of the limited space caused by the lack access to the stage, which means part of the main area will be used for the performances.  We hope this issue will be resolved by the time we celebrate Yalda on December 17th.

Sincerely,
ICEC

Greeting,

First and foremost, we would like to welcome you and your children to the 2022-2023 academic year. We are excited to begin once again in-person instruction and very much look forward to a very successful school year.

Please find below important guidelines:

Drop off and Pick up Area and Schedule

Please drop off and pick up your children in front of the School Main Entrance. Upon their arrival students will be greeted by their teachers and volunteered and directed to line up next to their teachers.  In the event of inclement weather conditions, the same procedure will take place inside the building.

 

To avoid overcrowding in the morning and at the end of the day the following schedule will be in place: 

  • Grades 1 through three will line up from 9:20 to 9:30 in the morning and be released at 12:20 PM. 
  • Grades 4 and higher will line up from 9:35 to 9:40 and be released at 12:30.
  • For the safety of students and staff there will NOT be parents’ gatherings inside the school unless scheduled and approved by ICEC. 

Parents will be welcomed to enter the building with a previously arranged appointment for further inquiries.

If you arrive after the start of the classes, please ring the bell at the All-Purpose Room Entrance. Volunteers will accompany your children to their classes. 

Continued assessment and placement

Considering the last two years’ unusual circumstances and their impact on education, we will continue to assess students’ language skills to determine the best possible placement for them. We will discuss with you if we determine that such change is to the best interest of your child/children.

You will be receiving a welcome message from your child/children’s instructor/s.

Looking forward to a very productive and safe academic year,

ICEC

 

،خانواده های گرامی

پیش از هرچیز سال آموزشی ۲۰۲۱-۲۰۲۲۲ را به شما و فرزندانتان خوش آمد می گوییم و بسیار خوشحالیم که بار دیگر آموزش رودررو را آغاز می کنیم٠

چند نکته عمده

درخواست داریم فرزندانتان را جلوی در اصلی مدرسه پیاده کنید  و در پایان کلاس ها بردارید. دانش آموزان پس از ورود و پیش از رفتن به کلاس هایشان  در جاهای مشخص شده صف می بندند و همراه با آموزگارانشان به کلاس می روند. در صورت هوای نامناسب، این برنامه در داخل ساختمان انجام می گیرد٠

:آغاز و پایان کلاس ها

کلاس های اول تا سوم از ساعت ۹:۲۰ تا ۹:۳۰ در صف آماده رفتن به کلاس هایشان می شوند و ساعت ۱۲:۲۰ دقیقه مدرسه را ترک می کنند٠

کلاس های چهارم به بالا از ساعت  ۹:۳۵۰ تا ۹:۴۰ در صف آماده رفتن به کلاس هایشان می شوند و ساعت ۱۲:۳۰ دقیقه مدرسه را ترک می کنند٠

با پوزش گردهم آمدن خانواده ها در داخل مدرسه، مگر با قرار قبلی، امکان پذیر نیست٠

دانش آموزانی که دیرتر از آغاز کلاس ها به مدرسه می آیند پس از فشار زنگ  از در کافه تریا وارد می شوند٠

در پایان یاد آور می شویم که با توجه به شرایط استثنایی آموزش دو سال گذشته، در چند هفته آغاز کلاس ها، دانش آموزان ارزیابی خواهند شد و چنانچه نیاز به جا به جایی آنها باشد با شما تماس گرفته می شود٠

دانش آموزان از آموزگارانشان پیام خوش آمد دریافت خواهند کرد٠

با بهترین آرزوهای تندرستی و به امید سالی پر بار

مرکز فرهنگی و آموزشی ایران
