Chinese Immersion Back to School Night

On behalf of the Barrington Chinese Immersion Council (BCIC) I would like to invite you all to our first ever Chinese Immersion Back to School Night.
We will have many important administrators and teachers in attendance at this meeting. Dr. Harris, Superintendent of Schools, Ms. Bates, our new Director of Language Programs and Grants, all five building principals – Mr. Straight (Rose), Ms. Barnabee (Countryside), Mr. Johnson (North Barrington), Dr. Winkelman (Station) and Ms. Romano (ELC). We also expect to hear from Mrs. Weerts about how the program has transitioned from elementary to middle school.

Dr. Harris, Superintendent of Schools, will be discussing:

• Long term district commitment of the Chinese Immersion Program
• The Middle School cohort this year
• High School planning for two years down the road.

Dr. Harris will be also be introducing Ms. Irma Bates, our new Director of Language Programs and Grants.

Ms. Bates will be discussing:

• Her role as our new director
• Recruitment of Highly Qualified Teachers
• The CI Program Moving into the Middle School
• Celebrations

We will also have some time for Q & A at the end. This is an invaluable opportunity for us to have all of these supporters of the CI Program together in the same room. I urge you all to attend this event to have the opportunity to ask questions of them and to learn about the future of the Chinese Immersion Program.

Thank You,

Shelby Elias
