校長寄語

蘭校長

蘇州市相城區諾德學校 執行校長

今天是開學**天，但也是學生因為疫情暫緩返校的**天，我們一方面非常謹慎地對待疫情帶來的風險，另一方面仍然對新的季節充滿信心。

蘇州諾德今天開始了第二個學期。我們迎來了返校的學生，同時迎來28位新生。這些新生的體驗可能會和去年加入的學生稍有不同，但我相信他們也很快會融入社區，開始自己的學習新歷程。

相比于去年秋天的開學，蘇諾處在一個更好的階段：我們的教育教學更加有條不紊，并會在這個學期關注一些學科學習，尤其是如何把英語教學的個性化支持做到更好;我們的設施設備經過使用調整，攀巖、烹飪、游泳、音樂、戲劇等100多個活動會更為豐富多彩;我們被越來越多的機構和家長認可，將在校園舉辦一系列高端的學術教研活動。

更重要的，我們的社區富有凝聚力。家長更好地了解到我們的教學理念和實踐，非常熱情地提出建議和采取行動，提供資源給學校?！叭柿x禮智信”的核心價值觀成為團結老師家長和學生的共同語言，成為學校文化日益堅實的基石。這是學校一切方面發展中最重要的部分，我非常有信心，蘇州諾德的孩子，會在新的一年里收獲滿滿!

跨越虎年，我們遇到了不少讓人驚喜的吉祥物：虎虎生威的壬寅虎，人見人愛的冰墩墩、雪容融，當然也*括我們有力量、有智慧的蘇州靈犀!這些吉祥物都富有象征性，讓我們在困難和挑戰的世界里獲得希望和快樂。

希望我和我的學生們在新學期里教學相長，用專注和努力換得成長的快樂。我更希望您也能加入到這一美好的教育之旅中來!

Welcome back to semester 2.

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that adaptability and resilience are qualities that will set apart this generation.

Our students know that at any given time we have to make sure that we do not allow anything from interrupting our learning, our living or deter us from our goals.

While we will begin online learning, please be reassured that our school and staff will calmly and clearly take our students through the first days and help them progress into a different but never the less, effective virtual learning.

Only a few short weeks ago I was thinking that having spent 13 years in China experiencing different celebrations for Chinese New Year, I can honestly say that the performances of our students just before the holiday were the best that I have seen. It really showcased how quickly our students have come together to feel a unified pride in their school and the solidarity of their friendships.

While we were constrained by the time of the live streaming that saw over a thousand parents joining us, we eagerly look forward to the end of year awards ceremony where grades that did not have an opportunity this time to be on stage will take precedence.

Other events that we had looked forward to were the School in Sneakers, the opening of our rock-climbing wall, the Color Run, end of year discos and of course our amazing Madagascar. We hope with the recent covid situation we will not have to amend, postpone or go online but as adaptable and as resilient as our students, we will find a way to help you appreciate and experience these events.

But mostly we look forward to having many more opportunities for our students to feel special, individually and as part of a team. Academically our students are visibly progressing through our Fortnightly reports and in their subject courses, but it is how they are stepping up and volunteering for the charitable events, competitions and school service such as hosting assemblies or being elected student advisory board members that is wonderful to see.

In a few short months we have changed from being a building of individuals into a cohesive and supportive unified school.

We would especially like to welcome the newest members of our community as the school increases by an amazing 17%. If you are just joining us, you can look forward to new supportive friends and caring teachers who will help you settle in.

We also now look forward to introducing to parents the chance of becoming a member of the PSG. The possibilities are endless to the advantages of being a NAS Suzhou community member. Student, parent, teacher, faculty and administration, together this semester we have the opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Welcome back, virtually for now and hopefully in a short time, in person. Happy New Year to you, your family and to NAS Suzhou.
