Student Safety
The safety of our students is extremely important. At any time during school hours, ACS students are NOT allowed to visit the games room upstairs, play with any Tate Center equipment such as computers and projectors. No excessive running/chasing or any other out-of-line behavior is permitted at the School. A written note will be sent to parents of students who behave poorly and do not comply school safety policies.
UGA Chinese School will in all cases exercise its best efforts for the care and safety of your children. However, the School cannot be held liable in any event of illness or accident. Parents will be asked to sign a disclaimer form releasing the liability of the School, its staff and its faculty, as well as the facility host.
Parents are required to remain with their children through the duration of the program. Parents may wait in the waiting area outside the classrooms or observe the class from the back of the classrooms if desired. During the break between classes, parents are expected to be responsible for the safety of children who leave the classroom. Under no circumstance should a child be left alone before, after, or during classes.
It is the responsibility of the parents/guardians to notify the School of any need for physical assistance and drug or food allergy, as well as any other special health concerns.
The measures above are in place solely for the very well-being of our children. Parents' understanding and cooperation are highly appreciated. Failure to observe the rules may result in dismissal of your children from the School.
Parent Involvement
Parents are expected to be engaged in their children’s Chinese education, making sure that your children do the homework, as two hours of instruction per week of instruction is absolutely not enough for most children to master the basics of Chinese language. However, the school promotes positive education so over-homeworking is not encouraged.
Please help educate your children/students to behave properly at school, to be respectful, polite, considerate to others, and to be GENTLE on all facilities of our host. In the unfortunate event of any property/personal damages caused by a student's reckless behaviors, parents may be held responsible.
Communication
School-related announcements are made via e-mail, in our WeChat group, and the ACS. To add your e-mail address to the school’s email list or to join our WeChat group, please contact principal.athenschineseschool@gmail.com.
