Mandarin Immersion Parents Council

Kevin Lee, the summer director at CAIS, says they have enough students who have applied from Jose Ortega and Starr King to do a summer camp strand this year using simplified characters rather than the traditional characters CAIS normally uses.

CAIS has teachers and space. Based on the applications they have received to date, they will run a joint First and Second grade class and a separate third grade class. There won’t be a special incoming Kindergarten class as those kids haven’t entered public school yet and they don’t do much reading and writing anyway. They focus on introducing Mandarin through songs, games and other activities. They still won’t know about Startalk funding which would allow for scholarships until the end of April/early May.
