Dear Teachers, Parents, and Students:
We will soon celebrate the end of the school year and we really appreciate all the efforts you have made to improve the Chinese learning environment for our students! At the end of the semester, we still have a few wrap-up activities for you to participate:
- Annual Group Photo ( May 30th, Saturday 4:00pm at parking lot by BAL building)
As normal, we will have professional to take TCS annual group photo for our teachers and students at 4:00pm. Please be ready in time at parking lot by BAL building.
- General Membership Meeting (June 6, Saturday 2-2:30 p.m. at BAL 1012, the auditorium)
Based on our bylaws, there is an annual general membership meeting on the last day of the school. This meeting is extremely important since we will elect three new boards of directors. The BOD will report the duty to the general membership about the progress made in the last year and publish the annual financial report. Teachers, parents (note: both parents of the students are counted as separate membership), and adult students are members of the school. The bylaws require the quorum so we encourage all parents to try their best to attend the meeting and arrive earlier to pick up the votes. Thank you for all your trust and support of the BOD!
- Graduation Ceremony (June 6, Saturday 2:45-4 p.m. at BAL 1012)
We will present a variety of awards to recognize our students’ academic achievement, as well as our teacher’s hard work in the school year.
To appreciate the volunteers’ contributions to our school, we will draw a few “lucky volunteers of the year” and award them with gift cards!
Finally, we will present the certificates to our students who will start their college lives. We hope them to continue their Chinese learning and wish them the best for their future!
- Picnic (June 13, Saturday, at 2 p.m to 8 pm. Bayville Farm Park
4132 First Ct Rd – Virginia Beach, VA 23455)
To celebrate the end of the school year, we will throw a barbecue and picnic party in Bayville Farm Park. We will have barbecue, watermelon, and lottery in the party! To cover the food and reservation cost, we will charge nominal price for each attendant (adult: $6; child (5-18): $3: child under 5 free)
- Registration and Opening Ceremony for the Fall Semester
June 13th will be the last day for the on-site registration for the coming fall semester. After June 13th, you can still mail your registration with payment to
P.O. Box 65558, Virginia Beach, VA 23467.
Any registration form postmarked before or on August 1 will receive $20 discount. After August 1, we will still accept normal registration. Registration form and school calendar can be downloaded from
