11.. IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn ffrroomm DDiirreeccttoorr ooff EEdduuccaattiioonn SSeerrvviicceess Dear Parents,

We are nearing the end of our first ECA semester and we hope your children have enjoyed their activities so far. The ECA programme, Semester 2, starts in January following our Christmas break, so please check the Semester 2 calendar to see the schedule.

Having run through the TESmile enrolment process this semester we trust all parents are familiar with the system. However, for new parents to TES and parents that like to remind themselves of how it works, there are a couple of ways to understand the process: 1. TESmile - easy to use enrolment interface 2. Demonstration Video - Choose your ECAs on TESmile - walk through enrolment steps (on your

TESmile page) 3. Annual ECA Schedule - ECA day / time schedule + activity descriptions (this document) 4. ECA Charter - full procedures and rules of the programme

All these information documents are located: https://taipeieuropeanschool.com/index.php?id=30

Thumbnail overview of the important items related to enrolment:

The ECA enrolment is via a “preference ranking system” whereby parents will have 7 days to input their child’s ECA preferences. The preference ranking system is designed so that parents have more time to discuss with their children what ECAs they like best and then rank them in their preferred order, with the goal that children will be able to participate in a number of ECAs they will enjoy.

The AOS payment system has been integrated into the TESmile system, allowing payment to be made automatically from parent’s AOS accounts. When ECAs are chosen on TESmile, parents are authorizing the automatic payment to be made from their AOS account. The only thing parents will still need to do is make sure they have put sufficient monies in their Family AOS account.

Enrolment schedule : November 27th (Mon)- December 3rd (Sun)

TESmile - ECA preference selection submission (1st Round enrolment). (Please note you will only see the TESmile interface when it opens on 27th November)

December 4th (Mon)- 5th (Tue) ECA allocation processing. (by ECA department / computer selection) December 6th (Wed) ECA allocation complete, student personal ECA timetable viewable on

student’s TESmile accounts. December 7th(Thu)- December 11th (Mon)

2nd Round enrolment - Manual system. (1st come 1st serve enrolment of seats remaining following computer allocation process)

December 12th(Tue)- 13th(Wed) Manual registrations allocation process. (by ECA department) December 14th (Thu) All enrolment is completed for Semester 2, the updated student

personal ECA timetable viewable on student’s TESmile accounts. January 8th (Mon) ECAs start.

Best regards, Mr. Kerry Nockolds Director of Educational Services

Playing with LASY Reception / MS / Kiga B

LASY Children Engineering Program (for preschool children) is aimed at developing innovative children who understand various basic design and engineering concepts, and how to implement them using LASY special bricks. Hands-on, mind-on experiments stimulate a child’s emotional and psychological attitude and abilities. This helps children build the foundation for lifelong self-confidence, perseverance and problem solving skills to overcome real life challenges. Starting with the Design and Structural Program, children will be introduced to concepts of structural designs and how they function. Classroom experiments allow children to learn and understand scientific concepts of bases, levers, balance, inertia, etc. Children will initially learn the process of making structural models by following instructions. They are then encouraged to innovate the models they made to meet new needs. By the end of the program, these children will acquire the skills and know-how to create models of their own.


This ECA will be run in Chinese Language; students of all Chinese language levels are welcome to join!

Additionally, where space available (see Special Notes), this service can be used by parents that have siblings that are waiting for their brother/sister who have an ECA at the time that they do not, parents can then pick up both children following the sibling’s ECA at 4:20pm. An ECA assistant will provide supervision for the students whilst they undertake their homework. The students are expected to use this supervised time to either complete homework or to read quietly. (please make sure your child has prepared some quiet study on days they attend this ECA) Registration of NT$600 will be managed separately via AOS (not as part of the automated payment via TESmile). Please remember: If your child is not in an ECA then they must be supervised by an adult, NO CHILD IS ALLOWED TO BE UNATTENDED ON CAMPUS.

The registration for this will take place following the allocation of the main ECA enrolment which is managed via the TESmile, as parents will only be able to know which days they need to use the Supervised Homework Club after their children’s ECA schedules are posted. The enrolment of this ECA will be done on a first come-first serve basis. However, the allocation will be prioritized :

1. Children who have a late ECA on a given day.

2. Siblings who are waiting for their brother/sister to finish an ECA.

Registration will open following the ECA timetables being allocated. Contact Ms. Alice Liu in the ES office to register. [email protected] 02-8145-9007 ext. 1801 EPC CRA building Rm. C105B
