Extended May Holiday April 30 to May 4
April 12, 2010
Dear RBIS Parents:
Rainbow Bridge International School will be closed for regular classes from April 30 to May 4 and classes will resume Wednesday, May 5. See below for further details.
On April 1, 2010, the local government announced that the traditional three-day weekend celebrating the May holiday would be extended to a five-day holiday. See http://tinyurl.com/yccckwe for further information. The Shanghai Education Bureau has stated clearly that its expectations are that all schools (local, private and international) be closed on April 30, May 3 and May 4. Concerns for school operation include additional costs for PRC national overtime; transportation issues related to the rerouting of traffic and increased traffic throughout Shanghai.
Due to the late notice of this announcement from the government, RBIS will not add additional days to the calendar.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the admissions office at 62689773 or 62683121
尊敬的家长们，
虹桥国际学校将于4月30日到5月4日期间放假五天，学校将于5月5日（周三）重新开始上课。详情请参见下文：
2010年4月1日，上海市政府宣布今年上海市的“五一”假日由传统的3天延长至5天。您可以登录网站http://tinyurl.com/yccckwe查看更多的相关信息。上海市教委指出，希望上海的所有学校都执行此规定（包括所有公办、私立和国际学校），要求在4月30日、5月3日和5月4日都停课。若学校在这三天继续上课，将会牵涉到额外的加班费、以及交通管制相关规定引发的车辆通行阻碍等问题。
由于此次上海政府的停课通知非常的突然，学校不会在目前执行的日程表中再增加教学日。
如果您有任何的问题，请联系学校注册部，电话为62689773或62683121。
Sincerely,
The RBIS Leadership Team
