ELC Updates
Dear ELC families,
As we reflect on and prepare to celebrate this year’s learning journey to a meaningful close, another rich layer of exploration is unfolding through our J-Term. This month, students will engage in an inspiring exploration of children’s rights, centered around the theme “Children have the Right to Engage in Art, Play, Culture, and Rest”.
While the J-Term brings fresh topics to our classrooms, our youngest learners will continue to experience this learning through the rich, play-based and interdisciplinary approach that defines the ELC. Each grade level will weave the one of the J-Term’s essential ideas into the rhythms of our ongoing Avenues Discovery Course, ensuring that learning feels authentic, joyful, and grounded in children’s everyday experiences.
This unit offers opportunities for students to explore how play, creativity, and cultural expression are not only essential to childhood, but also fundamental rights shared by all children. Through hands-on projects and playful engagement, our students will express their ideas and needs, and connect their experiences to the world around them.
We hope that the experiences of J-Term will further enrich our children’s learning journey and serve as an early foundation for developing a global mindset.
Warmly,
The ELC Leadership Team

Picture Day Photos Order
The yearbook photos taken on campus in March—including class and individual portrait photos—will be used in the production of this year’s school yearbook. A printed copy of the yearbook will be distributed to each student’s family at the end of the school year.
In addition, parents now have the option to purchase student photos directly from the photography team online. The photos taken at school are now available for viewing and purchase.
How to Purchase Online
- Please scan the QR code in the “Ordering Guide” below using WeChat, or search for the mini program “大卫校园影像”.
- Then, enter your child’s English name (e.g., Sam Wang) and date of birth to view the photos.
If you're unable to access the photos, please contact your division’s Operations Manager for help.
Health Office Friendly Reminder
Recently, there has been a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the wider community. To strengthen the health defenses of our campus, the Health Office kindly reminds you and your child to stay mindful of your health.
Daily Protection Measures:
- Wear masks properly in crowded places, wash hands frequently, ventilate rooms regularly, and avoid gatherings.
- Monitor your child’s temperature and overall health. If symptoms such as sore throat, fatigue, or fever appear, please keep your child at home for observation and test promptly (antigen/PCR), and delay their return to school.
If your child is diagnosed with COVID-19, please ensure they rest and recover at home and inform the Health Office. To prevent cross-infection, students may only return to school after at least 3 days of illness with a negative nucleic acid or antigen test, or 7 days after onset of symptoms.
Promote Health Awareness
- Encourage a balanced diet, regular sleep routines, and appropriate physical activity for your child. Avoid excessive fatigue.
Support Campus Prevention Measures
- If your child is diagnosed, is a close contact, or lives with someone who has tested positive, please contact the Health Office immediately.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us.

Severe Weather Response Guide
With the arrival of summer, the frequency of extreme weather increases. According to the government guidance documents, all schools in the city, regardless of region, will cancel school in the event that the municipal meteorological observatory in any area of the city issues the following meteorological disaster warning signals:
- Yellow Warning Signal of Typhoon
- Orange Warning Signal of Typhoon
- Red Warning Signal of Typhoon
- Red Warning Signal of Rainstorm
- Red Warning Signal of Gale
If the above warning is issued before students have arrived at school, students should not come to school and should stay in a safe place. If the warning is issued during the school day, we will ensure all students are safe (including students on the school bus) until the warning signal is lifted.
