What time must we arrive at Ding Hao?
Classes 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?Generally, the youngest children attend circle time; the specific classes that participate can change each year.Because of space limitations, two separate circle time sessions (traditionally held at 9:30 AM and 9:45 AM) are held for the children.
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 the 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.
How can I get involved in Ding Hao?
