Principal's Message |
Dear HCS-TC parents, students and teachers:
Welcome to Hope Chinese School Tysons Corner Campus (HCS-TC). Originally founded in 1993, Hope Chinese School is a non-profit, independent school. It provides an educational setting for students to learn the modern Chinese language using Pin-Yin (phonetic writing system) and simplified characters. Our HCS Tysons Corner campus was established in 2015. We serve students from Northern Virginia and Washington metropolitan area.
September 13 is our 1st day of school. Schedule stays the same: 2-5:50 pm.
Information about Fall 2020 Semester
The fall 2020 semester runs from 9/13/2020 to 12/13/2020. Weekly classes are offered every Sunday afternoon from 2pm to 5:50pm. All classes in the fall 2020 will be in the form of distance learning by using Zoom classroom.
Volunteers Needed
I would like to thank our teachers and volunteers including Zoom teachers’ training team, registration team and textbook coordination team, who have worked tirelessly behind the scene to put together our school's schedule and teaching programs for our community, so that you all can enjoy and benefit from this fabulous learning environment. We need more volunteers to help the school to succeed. If you would like to help, please email us at hcstc@hopechineseschool.org
Best regards and look forward to seeing all of you in the new school year.
Yvonne Zhu
Acting Principal, HCS-TC |
Registration for 2020 Fall Semester |
1. Registration Policy:
All registration must be completed online at http://www.www.hopechineseschool.org/hcstc/Logon.aspx. We do NOT roll the spring registered classes to the fall semester. Because we will not go back to Marshall High School in the fall, onsite registration service won’t be available. We are asking parents to register as soon as possible to secure your seats, as we limit the size of many of our classes in order to achieve a better online learning experience.
2. Tuition Payment : Tuition is due upon registration. Due to the Covid-19, we are adding PayPal as a new payment method. Families can choose either to mail a check to the School (HCS-TC, P.O. Box 9023, McLean, VA 22102) or pay by PayPal. Again, for the same reason, the School will absorb the Paypal transaction cost during the distant learning period caused by pandemic. Due to the school cancellation for the Spring semester, 2020, many families who registered in our school last semester received tuition refund in the form of school credit. Those credits will be automatically applied to your fall tuition.
The School encourages students to fully pay the tuitions after they register. If a class is full but not all students pay the tuition, the School will drop the students who do not pay, and make rooms for others.
3. Refund Policy: September 13 is the 1st day of the School. If students do not wish to continue their classes after that, they can choose to drop their classes from the registration system online and should complete the process by the end of Sep.15. The School will refund 50% of their paid tuitions and credit them back to the family accounts, however, the registration fees will not be refundable. After the Sep. 15, tuitions will not be refundable. The deadline date is set to give registration team members enough time to process these requests and allow our teachers to be notified and drop these students from the original Zoom class invitation lists.
4. Zoom class invitation: We will not offer free trial class in the fall semester because of the logistical burdens caused by the Covid-19. Zoom class invitation will only be sent to students who have registered and fully paid the tuition. It usually takes a few weeks for our registration team to process the tuition payment and apply them to the student’s account. Therefore, in order to receive the Zoom class invitation on time (the first day of school is 9/13), the School must receive the tuition payment by 9/13. Late payment will not guarantee students to receive the welcome email and the Zoom invitation on time.
5. Textbook Sales-Ma Liping textbook (马立平中文教科书): Due to the Pandemic and social distancing requirement, the School will no longer organize a school wide Ma Liping textbooks purchase. Parents can buy MLP textbooks for the coming school year at http://www.heritagechinese.com.
If any parents would like to organize a group purchase for MLP textbooks , please send an email to our parent volunteer coordinator, Lili Cui at muxiang@gmail.com and let her know which grade you’d like to form a group purchase for. She will brief you on how to coordinate and group-purchase the textbooks. Due to the slower shipping time caused by Covid-19, MLP textbooks order must be placed by mid-July in order to guarantee a timely delivery. Therefore, if you would like to volunteer for the group-purchase, please contact Lili Cui as soon as possible.
6. Textbook Sales-Jinan and Bilingual Chinese Textbook(暨南 和双语“阳阳”教科书) The School will group purchase Jinan and Bilingual textbooks. We will need volunteers to handle textbook payment and distribution before the fall semester starts. If you would like to volunteer, please email our Jinan and Bilingual textbook coordinator, Min Yao at minyao88@gmail.com . |
