各位老师、家长、义工和同学：

鉴于马里兰州蒙哥马利郡已确诊三例新冠病毒肺炎的突发情况，希望中文学校理事会执委会经过紧急磋商决定，本周末即3月7日和3月8日，希望中文学校的八个校区全部停课。下周末是否开课将根据具体情况决定，另行通知。希望中文学校将密切关注疫情的发展，及时根据变化随时作出相应调整。

如有疑问，请即与所在校区校长或所在班级的老师联系。谢谢大家的关心和支持！

希望中文学校理事会执委会

Dear Hope Chinese School Families and Staff:

Due to three confirmed cases of COVID-19 caused by a recently identified new strain of the coronavirus, in Montgomery County, the Hope Chinese School Executive Committee has decided to cancel classes at all eight campuses this Saturday and Sunday, March 7th and 8th, 2020.

We are following the situation closely and remain in touch with health authorities to ensure we have the most updated information and guidance before making decisions for the next weekend.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your campus principal or class teacher.

Thank you for your cooperation and support!

Hope Chinese School Board Executive Committee
