Dear UISZ Community,
亲爱的UISZ社区：
Thank you to all the families who joined us for our Chinese New Year celebrations this past week. It has been a wonderful week filled with lively performances from students and staff, and the warm presence of parents and community members gathering to welcome the Year of the Horse. We are deeply grateful for your participation and for the UISZ Spirit you bring.
感谢这周所有前来与我们共度新春庆典的家庭。这一周精彩纷呈：师生同台献艺，整个社区温情汇聚，共同迎接马年新春。大家的热情参与，以及洋溢于校园的UISZ精神，令我们深怀感恩。
As we close out this week, I wish you all a joyful and restful Lunar New Year holiday. UISZ will be closed for the next two weeks, offering everyone time to recharge and be with family.
值此本周圆满收官之际，我谨祝大家度过一个喜乐祥和、悠然惬意的农历新年假期。未来两周，UISZ校园将暂时休校，好让大家借此良机，蓄满能量，与家人共度美好时光。
A quick reminder: classes will resume on Wednesday, March 4, kicking off a busy month ahead. We have student activities, camps, and community events to look forward to—including UEF Family Day on Friday, March 21, hosted at UISG.
温馨提醒：开学时间为3月4日（周三），繁忙而充实的一个月也将由此开启。学生活动、户外营地和社区活动接踵而至——尤其值得期待的，是3月21日（周五）于UISG举办的UEF家庭日。
The horse represents energy, drive, and a free-spirited pursuit of progress. This is not a year for passivity or rigid conformity—it is a year to chase goals, break records, and let individual strengths shine. Whether you are traveling, celebrating traditions, or enjoying quiet time at home, I hope this new year brings you and your loved ones prosperity, warmth, and renewal.
马，象征着活力、冲劲与自由不羁的前行精神。这一年，从不属于停滞与盲从——这是追逐梦想、打破纪录、让自己的光芒尽情闪耀的一年。无论你将启程远行、庆祝传统，还是于家中静享安宁，我衷心祝愿您和您挚爱的亲朋：新年兴旺，温暖常伴，焕然新生。
Kindest regards,
谨致最诚挚的新春问候，

Dear PYP Families,
亲爱的小学部家长：
What a vibrant and meaningful week we have shared as we welcomed the Year of the Horse together! As we approach the Chinese New Year holiday, we wanted to reflect on the rich learning experiences that have unfolded across our learning community, each one embodying the spirit of inquiry, international-mindedness, and action that defines our PYP journey.
值此共迎马年之际，我们共同度过了多么生动而富有意义的一周！值此春节假期将至之际，我们想回顾学习共同体中展开的丰富学习体验——每一次体验都体现着探究精神、国际视野和行动力，这些正是我们PYP旅程的核心特质。
Chinese New Year Celebrations 春节庆祝活动
Thank you so much to all the families who joined our Chinese New Year celebration! It was lovely to see families working together to prepare delicious dumplings.
衷心感谢所有参加我们春节庆祝活动的家庭！看到大家齐心协力包制美味饺子的场景，真是令人欣喜。
During the concert, our learners demonstrated the PYP learner profile attributes of open-minded, risk-taker, caring, and principled individuals in each one of the performances. These celebrations deepened their understanding of how cultural practices connect us globally, a beautiful expression of international mindedness in action.
在音乐会期间，我们的学生通过每场演出展现了PYP学习者特质——他们思想开放、勇于尝试、乐于助人且恪守原则。这些庆祝活动加深了他们对文化实践如何将我们紧密联结的理解，生动诠释了国际视野在实践中的美好呈现。
House Assembly and Picnic 嘉奖仪式和野餐
Another big thanks to all the families who joined us yesterday! House Assemblies are an essential part of UISZ as reinforces celebrating collaboration and mutual support. Through sharing and joyful connections, we witnessed communicators and team players strengthening the bonds that make our school a true learning community.
再次衷心感谢昨日参与活动的全体家庭！家庭集会是UISZ的重要组成部分，它强化了对协作与互助精神的颂扬。通过分享与欢乐的联结，我们见证了沟通者与团队成员们加深了彼此的纽带，正是这些纽带使我们的学校成为真正的学习共同体。

Progress Reports and MAP Testing
单元成长报告和MAP报告
♥ 3
This week, students engaged thoughtfully with their assessment data completing Reading, Math, and Language Usage MAP assessments in Grade 2 – Grade 5. Of our younger students, K3-Grade 1 completed Math, Reading, and Reading fluency assessments.
本周，二至五年级的学生认真审视了评估数据，完成了阅读、数学及语言应用的MAP评估。低年级学生（K3至一年级）则完成了数学、阅读及阅读流畅度评估。
Teachers will use MAP results formatively to inform next steps in instruction and design goals with students—ensuring our teaching remains responsive to each child’s learning journey. The MAP results will be shared with families the week after the holidays, so we can have time to inform parents, design goals with students, and meet some families to share the results.
教师将运用MAP评估结果进行形成性评估，据此规划后续教学步骤并与学生共同制定学习目标——确保我们的教学始终响应每位孩子的学习历程。MAP评估结果将于假期结束后一周内向家庭公布，以便我们有充足时间向家长说明情况、与学生共同制定目标，并安排面谈向部分家庭分享评估结果。
As well, Unit Progress Reports cards offer a snapshot of your child’s development across the PYP’s five essential elements: knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes, and action. Today, we will be posting these reports cards via Managebac. You will receive an email with a Managebac notification indicating that your child’s reports have been posted. We encourage you to explore these documents with your child as a springboard for reflective conversation over the break.
此外，单元进展报告卡将全面展现您孩子在PYP五大核心要素（知识、概念、技能、态度和行动）中的发展情况。今日我们将通过Managebac平台发布这些报告卡。您将收到包含Managebac通知的邮件，告知孩子报告已发布。我们鼓励您与孩子共同研读这些文件，以此为契机在假期期间展开反思性对话。
Week Without Walls Presentations
“无墙周”信息会
This week, Mr. Alek from CNH visited our campus and presented information about our upcoming Week Without Walls.
Week Without Walls is a cornerstone of our PYP philosophy, intentionally designed to extend learning beyond classroom walls and into authentic, real-world contexts. These experiences nurture student agency by inviting learners to engage with local and global communities, grapple with genuine challenges, and take meaningful action, deepening their understanding of PYP concepts such as connection, responsibility, and perspective.
本周，CNH的Mr. Alek先生莅临我校，介绍了即将到来的“无墙周”活动。
“无墙周”是我校PYP教育理念的核心组成部分，旨在将学习延伸至教室之外，融入真实的现实情境。通过邀请学生参与本地及全球社区活动、应对真实挑战并采取有意义的行动，这些实践体验培养了学生的自主能力，深化了他们对PYP核心概念——如联结、责任与视角——的理解。

Dear DSE Families,
尊敬的DSE学生家长：
I hope this message finds you well. Please find below a summary of this week’s key events and a preview of next week’s schedule.
您好！本周主要事项与下周安排如下：
This week, UISZ DSE teachers and students visited Utahloy International School Guangzhou (UISG) for an in-depth exchange and observation. During the visit, UISG Head of School Dr. Mullend elivered a warm welcome address, vividly introducing the school’s educational philosophy and cultural characteristics. Subsequently, guided by the admissions team, the teachers and students immersed themselves in a tour of the campus teaching areas, arts spaces, and sports facilities, personally experiencing UISG’s vibrant learning atmosphere and humanistic environment.This visit not only provided a valuable opportunity for exchange between the two school communities but also servedas a meaningful prelude to the official merger of UISZ and UISG in the upcoming academic year. We look forward to the integration of both school communities into a closer and more diverse learning collective in the new academic year. The merged UISG will offer all students enriched curriculum resources, enhanced professional teaching support, and broader developmental opportunities, jointly writing a new chapter in international education.
本周，UISZ DSE师生前往广州誉德莱（UISG）进行了深度交流访问。访问期间，UISG校长Dr. Mullen热情致辞，生动阐释了学校的教育理念与文化特色。随后，师生们在招生老师的引导下，沉浸式参观了教学楼、艺术中心、体育场馆等校园空间，亲身感受了UISG充满活力的学习氛围与人文气息。此次访问不仅是两校师生一次宝贵的交流机会，也标志着UISZ与UISG在新学年正式合并的重要前奏。我们共同期待，在即将到来的新学年中，两校师生将真正融为一个更加紧密、多元的学习共同体。合并后的UISG将为所有学生提供更丰富的课程资源、更专业的师资支持以及更广阔的发展平台，共同书写国际化教育的新篇章。
During our joyous Chinese New Year Celebration, DSE students delivered a series of wonderful performances that illuminated the festive stage.The event began with D10 students’ uplifting choral performance of “Good Fortune Comes,” their vibrant voices carrying heartfelt wishes for the new year.This was followed by anelegant and moving piano solo by Zheng Junhang from D11, whose skillful playing demonstrated remarkable artistic sensibility.The celebration reached its climax with a powerful whole-class rendition of “Boundless Skies” by D11 students, their united voices embodying the aspirations and convictions of youth.These performances not only showcased our students’ diverse talents but also reflected the positive, collaborative, and forward-looking spirit of the UISZ community.
在喜庆祥和的春节庆典中，我校DSE学子以精彩纷呈的表演点亮了节日舞台。D10年级同学以一曲《好运来》合唱拉开序幕，欢快昂扬的歌声传递出对新年的美好期盼；随后，D11年级郑竣航同学献上深情优雅的钢琴独奏，琴声流转间展现扎实的艺术素养；最后，D11全体同学以充满力量的班级合唱《海阔天空》，将现场气氛推向高潮，歌声中凝聚着青春的梦想与信念。
这些表演不仅展现了同学们的多才多艺，更彰显了UISZ学子积极向上、团结奋进的精神风貌。
The Week Ahead 春节假期
Wishing Everyone a Joyous Spring Festival Holiday! 祝愿大家欢度春节假期！
Next week, as our school community disperses to celebrate the Lunar New Year with family and friends, we extend our warmest wishes to each and every member of our school family. May the Year of the Dragon bring you and your loved ones good health, abundant happiness, great success, and boundless prosperity. May it be filled with cherished moments with family, delicious feasts, and the joyful promise of new beginnings. We look forward to reuniting after the break, refreshed and ready for the opportunities the new term will bring！
下周，当我们的学校大家庭各自与亲朋好友共庆农历新年时，我们向每一位成员致以最诚挚的祝福。愿龙年为您和您的家人带来健康、幸福、成功与繁荣。愿假期充满与家人的温馨时刻、丰盛的美食和万象更新的喜悦。我们期待假期后重聚，以焕然一新的面貌迎接新学期带来的机遇。
