Ding Hao FAQs, 2010-11
What time must we arrive at Ding Hao?
Circle time for the younger children AND classes for the older children begin promptly at 9:30 AM, so
please plan accordingly. Since parking availability is limited at Radnor Middle School, you may wish to allow a little extra time.
If I don't feel my child is in the right class, what should I do?
Every attempt is made to place the children appropriately. If there are any issues, please speak with your teacher and Mrs. Barbara Yuan no later than the second week of school.
Where can I get textbooks/songbooks?
Ask your teacher.
Which classes attend circle time?
This can change each year, depending on the school population. However, for the 2009-10 school year, the following classes should meet at 9:30 for circle time: Class 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The following classes should proceed directly to their classrooms to begin promptly at 9:30: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
How can I find out about my child’s homework assignment?
For all classes, the parents are encouraged to come into the classroom for the last 10 minutes to go over
what the children learned and to hear homework assignment.
May I bring a younger sibling into my child's class?
Please try to make other arrangements for younger siblings. It can be very distracting to both your child
and the other children as well. If you have extenuating circumstances, please see your teacher.

When we attended Ding Hao last year, there were some unexpected changes in the schedule. If this happens in the future, will we receive a partial refund for that time?
No. Ding Hao will make every effort to make up any time lost when schedule changes occur because of unforeseen events or inclement weather; however, the school will not offer refunds in the event of scheduling changes.
