Broken Rule! We received a complaint from our landlord school, LJCDS. Items were missing and misplaced in a classroom.  Parents please help us to remind your student(s) of our classroom rules:
  • Do not touch anything in the classroom that does not belong to you or without teacher’s permission
  • Do not eat or drink in the classroom
  • Do not leave trash in the classroom, including the indoor trash bin. This is an important  rule from LJCDS to avoid ant issues
We are grateful to have such a beautiful learning environment. Let’s all keep it up. Parents, if you see any behavior in the classroom or on the campus that breaks our rules, please help us to enforce it.

Pi Day is observed on March 14. Zu Chongzhi (429–500 AD) was a prominent Chinese mathematician and astronomer during the Liu Song and Southern Qi Dynasties. The majority of Zu's great mathematical works are recorded in his lost text the Zhui Shu. His works on the accurate value of pi describe the lengthy calculations involved. Zu used the Liu Hui's π algorithm described earlier by Liu Hui to inscribe a 12,288-gon. Zu's value of pi is precise to six decimal places and for a thousand years thereafter no subsequent mathematician computed a value more precise than Zu.
