Dear Parents,
This week, two key topics have taken center stage in the boarding house: the importance of sleep and WiFi use. The research is clear — sleep is critical for students’ learning, well-being, and overall mental health. Studies show that adequate sleep not only improves academic performance but also plays a vital role in emotional regulation and reduces the risk of anxiety, depression, and stress. At UISZ, we are committed to supporting our students in making healthy choices and establishing routines that will benefit them academically and personally. To encourage better sleep habits, starting at the end of the month, we will be disabling student WiFi access between midnight and 5 a.m. If you’re interested in learning more about the science and research behind this decision.

亲爱的家长们：
本周在宿舍里，有两个话题成为了焦点：睡眠的重要性和 WiFi 使用。研究表明——睡眠对学生的学习、福祉和心理健康至关重要。充足的睡眠不仅可以提高学习成绩，而且在情绪调节中也起着至关重要的作用，并且能降低焦虑、抑郁和压力的风险。在 UISZ，我们致力于支持学生做出健康的选择，并建立对他们的学术和个人有益的作息时间。为了鼓励学生养成更好的睡眠习惯，从本月底开始，我们将在午夜至凌晨 5 点之间禁止学生接入WiFi。如果您有兴趣了解更多关于此决定背后的科学意义。

Weekend Update 周末更新
This past weekend, our boarders enjoyed a trip to the shopping mall for an essential snack refill and a delicious meal. On Sunday, Ms. Lindsey, our school and college counselor, joined the students and me for a lovely walk to a local zip line. After an afternoon of fun and adventure, we finished the hot walk with some well-deserved ice cream!
上周末，寄宿生们去了购物中心，购买了零食并享受了一顿大餐。周日，我们的辅导员兼升学顾问 Lindsey 女士加入了我和学生们的行列，一起徒步到当地的高空滑索。愉快玩耍后，我们美美地吃上了冰淇淋，以此结束了热热的独步旅行！
Highlights of the Week 本周亮点
Storytelling has always been central to human culture, and I was reminded of its importance this week when I had the privilege of reading a bedtime book to one of our primary flexi-boarders—a beautiful moment that brought back fond memories.
讲故事一直是人类文化的核心，本周我有幸为我们的一位小学寄宿生讲睡前故事，这让我再次意识到讲故事的重要性，它唤起了我温馨的回忆。
Another personal highlight was a spontaneous chef masterclass with some of our students. Together, we learned the art of making the perfect omelet—an essential life skill that I’m sure will come in handy!
另一个亮点是与我们的部分学生举办了一场即兴的厨师大师课。我们一起学习了如何制作完美煎蛋卷——这是一项必备的生活技能，我相信将来一定会派上用场！
Mark your calendars! 请标记您的日历！
On September 18th, the boarding house will be hosting our first flexi-boarding event of the year—Mid-Autumn Festival.
