亲爱的家长与同学们：
Dear Parents and Students,
下周我们即将迎来2021-2022学年的大日子——开学日（8月30日）！您和孩子都准备好了吗？
Next week we're approaching the big day of the 2021-2022 school year - Opening Day (August 30)! Are you ready?
FLIS十分期待见到暑期返校的孩子，也热烈欢迎新同学！
FLIS is looking forward to reuniting with old students, and welcoming new students who have recently joined our FLIS family this year!
依据教育局及相关疫情防控要求，本学年学校将不举办开学典礼。为了让孩子们更好地从暑假生活过渡至校园生活，FLIS备好了一份入学指南，供家长及同学们参考。也请家长们保持通讯畅通，以便于班主任与您取得联系，沟通更多开学事宜。
In accordance with the Education Bureau and related epidemic prevention and control requirements, we will not hold the opening ceremony this school year. To make returning to school smoother, FLIS has prepared this guide for your reference. Please keep the communication channels open, so that homeroom teachers can get in touch with you to let you know more about the new school year’s orientation.
