Dear RDFIS Students and Parents,

親愛的各位家長(zhǎng)和同學(xué)們，

According to a message from the Guangdong Provincial People’s government received on February 7, 2020 about epidemic prevention and control measures, Guangdong province schools may NOT open before the end of February to protect the health and safety of all students and employees.

2020年2月7日廣東省教育廳印發(fā)了關(guān)于調(diào)整廣東省內(nèi)學(xué)校開學(xué)時(shí)間的通知。《通知》明確規(guī)定：根據(jù)疫情防控情況，為確保廣大師生生命安全、身體健康，全省各級(jí)各類學(xué)校2月底前不得開學(xué)。具體開學(xué)時(shí)間將視疫情防控情況，經(jīng)科學(xué)研判后確定，提前向社會(huì)發(fā)布。

In compliance with this Government notice, RDFIS campus classes are now postponed until March 2. Students will return to campus on March 1, 2020 (unless a new date is determined by the government).

因此，根據(jù)政府規(guī)定，我校暫時(shí)決定將正式開學(xué)日期推遲至3月2日（學(xué)生將在2020年3月1日下午返回校園）。當(dāng)然，如果廣東省（或深圳市）政府后續(xù)再有關(guān)于開學(xué)日期調(diào)整的規(guī)定，我們也將會(huì)根據(jù)其規(guī)定對(duì)開學(xué)日期再度進(jìn)行調(diào)整并發(fā)通知告訴大家。

During the school closure, teachers will facilitate remote learning for their classes. This will take place over electronic platforms such as Edmodo, PowerSchool, email, and WeChat. Please plan for online school to carry on for three weeks, as follows:

在此期間，教師們將開展各科目的遠(yuǎn)程學(xué)習(xí)。遠(yuǎn)程學(xué)習(xí)將在Edmodo、PowerSchool、電子郵件和等網(wǎng)絡(luò)平臺(tái)上進(jìn)行。請(qǐng)各位同學(xué)做好進(jìn)行為期三周的遠(yuǎn)程學(xué)習(xí)的準(zhǔn)備。具體遠(yuǎn)程學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間安排如下：

? February二月 10–14 日

? February 二月17–21日

? February二月 24–28日

Students can learn from anywhere in the world. However, please plan to return to RDFIS campus no later than March 1, 2020, as we expect on-campus teaching to resume on March 2, 2020 (unless further notice is given sooner).

無論各位同學(xué)身在何處，你都應(yīng)該安排好自己的時(shí)間進(jìn)行我校的在線學(xué)習(xí)。同時(shí)，也請(qǐng)各位同學(xué)提前安排好自己的行程，在2020年3月1日下午返回到RDFIS校園為2020年3月2日的正常課堂學(xué)習(xí)做好準(zhǔn)備（3月1日前有其它另行通知的情況除外）。

Please review “RDFIS Online School Guidelines” (attached at the end of this letter).

再次，請(qǐng)大家查看“RDFIS在線學(xué)習(xí)課程指南”（隨附于本文末）。

If you or your child have any changes in your health status in relation to the Coronavirus please refer this directly to Mr. Louie Li via WeChat or email (louie.l@rdfis.com).

同時(shí)，如果您或您的孩子有任何類似感染新型冠狀病毒的癥狀，也請(qǐng)通過或電子郵件（louie.l@rdfis.com）直接將相關(guān)情況告知給李校長(zhǎng)Louie Li先生或班主任老師。

RDFIS ONLINE SCHOOL GUIDELINES

RDFIS在線學(xué)習(xí)課程指南

Updated February 8, 2020

2020年2月8日更新

Following are important guidelines about RDFIS Online School in Question and Answer format. These guidelines are subject to change and may be updated and re-circulated.

以下是采取問答式表述的RDFIS在線學(xué)習(xí)課程的重要指南。相關(guān)規(guī)定可能會(huì)有所更改。如有更改，我們會(huì)時(shí)間更新并通知到大家。

Q: Who is required to participate in the online school?

問：哪些人（年級(jí)、教師）需要參與在線學(xué)習(xí)課程？

A: The following individuals are required to participate in online school: Foreign and Chinese teachers, and ALL students in Grades 7–12. Online assignments are marked as part of Q3.

答：除了外籍和中國老師外，所有7-12年級(jí)的學(xué)生都必須投入到在線課程學(xué)習(xí)。各位同學(xué)在在線課程的表現(xiàn)將會(huì)被計(jì)入第三季度的成績(jī)考核中，請(qǐng)大家務(wù)必重視。

Q: What are the basic requirements for students?

問：對(duì)學(xué)生有哪些基本要求？

A: Students will receive assignments for fifteen online learning days: February 10–14, 17–21, 24–28. Each teacher will provide five assignments each week. The assignments will be communicated via Edmodo, PowerSchool, email, or WeChat. Students should complete the assignments according to the due dates given by teachers.

答：學(xué)生將接受為期十五天的在線學(xué)習(xí)：2月, 10–14日，17–21日，24–28日。屆時(shí)，任課老師將在線指導(dǎo)學(xué)生按原定課程計(jì)劃進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)，并布置相應(yīng)課程的作業(yè)。作業(yè)將通過Edmodo、PowerSchool、電子郵件或等網(wǎng)絡(luò)平臺(tái)完成。學(xué)生應(yīng)在老師給定的日期前完成課程作業(yè)。

Q: What platforms will be used?

問：將使用什么電子平臺(tái)進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)？

A: Teachers will use Edmodo, PowerSchool, WeChat, email, or other platforms such as Quizlet and Kahoot. All teachers will be available daily to respond to student questions by email or WeChat. A WeChat group is available for each course to facilitate assignment distribution and meaningful communication such as serious discussions or questions and answers. Common chit-chat should be reserved for other groups. Teachers and students may use the group during normal class hours, but are not expected to respond to posts outside of regular working hours. QR codes for these course groups are being circulated separately. Students are invited to (1) join these groups, (2) change their alias in the group to their full English name since most foreign teachers cannot read Chinese characters, (3) write in English only in the group, and (4) use a portrait style photo for their profile picture for the duration of the online class.

答：教師將使用Edmodo，PowerSchool，，電子郵件或其他電子平臺(tái)。每天，所有的老師都將通過電子郵件或回答學(xué)生的問題。

每門科目都有一個(gè)群。通過該群，老師將完成作業(yè)的布置、上交，學(xué)術(shù)的討論和問答等工作。老師和學(xué)生可以在正常的上課時(shí)間在該群進(jìn)行學(xué)術(shù)交流，但不能在正常工作時(shí)間以外對(duì)群組里的問題能夠做到實(shí)時(shí)回應(yīng)。每門課程的群二維碼將會(huì)在后續(xù)集中分享給大家。收到群二維碼后，請(qǐng)各位同學(xué)務(wù)必做到：（1）找到自己所選課程的群的二維碼并掃碼加入這些群；（2）將自己在各群的姓名改為自己在學(xué)校時(shí)正式使用的英文名；（3）在群內(nèi)用（且僅能用）英文進(jìn)行溝通；（4）將自己的頭像（或由“班級(jí)+姓名“構(gòu)成的圖片）更改為自己的登記照照片。

Q: What content will be taught?

問：在線課程教授什么內(nèi)容？

A: The content of instruction will continue as previously planned, when possible. However, because some students may not have the textbooks with them, teachers will either (1) include photos or digital versions of the textbook, OR (2) use content other than the textbook.

答：教學(xué)的內(nèi)容將繼續(xù)按照學(xué)校課堂的原計(jì)劃進(jìn)行。由于同學(xué)們身在各地，可能沒有隨身攜帶課本、教材。對(duì)此，教師將使用電子版教材，或是使用課本以外的輔助內(nèi)容進(jìn)行教學(xué)。

Q: What file formats will be used?

問：在線課程將使用哪些教學(xué)材料？

A: Teachers will use common file formats, such as PDF, videos, photos, mp3s, and links to websites. Online quizzes, Edmodo submissions, and email submission of assignments may also be used. A list of faculty email addresses is attached at the end of this letter. Students and parents are welcome to email teachers directly.

答：教師將使用常見格式的教學(xué)文件，例如PDF，視頻，照片，mp3和網(wǎng)站鏈接。也可能會(huì)使用在線測(cè)驗(yàn)，Edmodo、電子郵件提交作業(yè)等其它方式。這封信的末尾附有學(xué)校所有老師的電子郵件地址。也歡迎學(xué)生和家長(zhǎng)直接向老師發(fā)送電子郵件交流。

Q: Are meetings required?

問：是否需要在線視頻進(jìn)行討論交流？

A: Because internet connections will vary in quality and some students and teachers will be in various time-zones, online meetings are NOT required. Rather, teachers will post readings, instructions, videos, or recorded lectures before class each day. Written assignments will be descriptive so that students can succeed without online meetings.

答：由于各地、各人的網(wǎng)絡(luò)質(zhì)量各有不同，并且某些同學(xué)和教師處于全球各地不同的時(shí)區(qū)，客觀而言，在線實(shí)時(shí)視頻授課難度很大。因此，老師們將在每天上課之前發(fā)布閱讀材料、相關(guān)指引或預(yù)先錄制的講座。通過具體描述的書面形式的作業(yè)等，也可以讓同學(xué)們?cè)跊]有課堂的條件下，自主掌握所需掌握的知識(shí)。

Q: Will teachers be teaching from RDFIS campus, and may I return to campus early?

問：老師們會(huì)在RDFIS校園里教學(xué)嗎？我可以早點(diǎn)回到校園嗎？

A: Teachers will teach from home, not campus. Consistent with Government instructions, regular on-campus classes or activities will not resume until March 2. Students may NOT attend classes on campus before March 2. We will communicate with you regarding any changes to the school open date when we obtain more information.

答：老師將在家里，而不是學(xué)校進(jìn)行在線教學(xué)。同時(shí)，根據(jù)廣東省政府的指示：“全省各級(jí)各類學(xué)校2月底前不開學(xué)”。所以，學(xué)生不允許在3月1日之前返回校園。如有進(jìn)一步關(guān)于學(xué)校復(fù)課、開學(xué)日期變動(dòng)的相關(guān)信息，我們將在時(shí)間通知到您。

Q: What if my teacher posts assignments before February 10?

問：如果我的老師在2月10日之前發(fā)布作業(yè)怎么辦？

A: Teachers may begin posting assignments before February 10. In general, teachers will post one assignment each day during the regular class time.

答：老師可以在2月10日之前開始發(fā)布作業(yè)。但是總體而言，多數(shù)老師每天會(huì)在常規(guī)課程時(shí)間發(fā)布作業(yè)。

Q: When should I focus on each class?

問：我應(yīng)該在什么時(shí)候關(guān)注每門課程？

A: As a matter of suggestion, but not requirement, students should focus on their classes during the regular timetable:

答：建議學(xué)生應(yīng)在常規(guī)課程時(shí)間內(nèi)專注于他們的課程，具體課程時(shí)間表格如下：
