Fall 2023 Parent-Teacher Conferences (PTC) are scheduled for Friday, November 3 from 09:00-17:00.

At PTC, parents are invited to meet with their child’s teachers to discuss student progress and goals. The time is planned to be reflective and action-oriented. Conferences can be an important part in the education process, giving parents time to ask questions and to work together with teachers.

Upper Elementary and Secondary students are welcome to attend conferences. They may benefit from the opportunity to discuss their progress in an open forum with teachers and parents. Parents of Lower Elementary students are asked to attend without their children to allow for the most effective time with teachers.

Registration for PTC opens at 08:00 on Thursday, October 26 and closes at 16:00 on November 1. Parents need to log in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal to sign up for appointments. Instructions on how to register for PTC are HERE.

Note:
• PTC is a day off of school for all students.
• If you are not able to get the appointment time you need with your child's teacher, please email them separately to schedule a time to meet.
• If you would like to book an appointment with a staff member who is not on your booking list, please email the school office at wyisoffice@wyischina.com.

If you have any questions, please email our main office at wyisoffice@wyischina.com.

We would like to remind everyone that after regular school hours, it is crucial for students to be supervised by their parents or designated guardians.

Please note that the only students supervised by teachers during these hours are those who are enrolled in our After-school Activities. The safety and well-being of all students are of utmost importance to us, and we appreciate your cooperation in ensuring their safety at all times while on school premises.

Thank you for your continued support in maintaining a safe and nurturing environment for our students.

On Friday, October 27 at 12:15, our school will be hosting representatives from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). They will be providing valuable information about the university and what it offers. You can also explore further details on the college's website.

HKUST is currently ranked #58 in the QS Global University 2023-2024 rankings.

If you have any questions, please contact Linda Liu at linda.liu@wyischina.com.

Student Council will be hosting a Spirit Day each month as an opportunity for Wuhan Yangtze students and staff to show school spirit by coming to school dressed according to a specific theme. The theme for this month is Character Day. Students and staff are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite character from a movie, show or book on Tuesday, October 31!

Note:
• Costumes must not have blood/gore and must be school-appropriate for camera view.
• Students can choose not to dress in a theme for the day, but they must still wear their school or PE uniforms.

Several parents are organizing an event for children to dress up in costumes and collect candy from designated locations. The event is this Saturday, October 28 from 14:00-16:00 at Golden Harbor. If you are interested in participating, please contact your PTO language group leader for more details.
