Letter from Andrew Fitzmaurice

诺德安达的各位家长，同学们，

大家好！

新冠病毒的出现，让所有人的生活都收到了影响，它无论给家庭还是社区都带来了诸多挑战。发这封邮件给您，是因为我知道当不安定因素出现时，学生的情绪也会出现不稳定性，作为学校，我们此时此刻发挥的作用就至关重要。在此我代表诺德安达全体教职员工，向大家保证我们深知肩负教育孩子的重任。

关注学生的健康和教育是诺德安达的首要任务，为此，我们一直与国际和当地的卫生部门及教育部门进行密切合作；同时，尽可能减少疫情对我们日常生活的影响。

在我写这封信的时候，我们全球66所学校中的65所已经暂时关闭了校园。在这个非常时期，诺德安达全球范围内的9000名教职员工，通过他们的专业技能保障了学生们云课堂的教学质量。我们深知，对于学生而言，学校的常态运营和课程安排比以往任何时候都重要。希望诺德安达的云课堂能够激励孩子们学习，无论他们身处何地，都能和老师、同学以及朋友们谈笑风生。通过高效的学习方法、先进的技术和全球教育资源，诺德安达的所有学校确保孩子像往常一样获得高质量的个性化教育，以及极具参与感的课堂氛围。

诺德安达非常关注孩子的健康，所以我们的课程和活动不仅关注学生的学业，更注重培养他们的体育素养、社交能力以及创造力，让他们全面发展。未来几天，对于如何帮助孩子最大限度地运用在线资源学习，我们的老师将为你们和诺德安达全球其他66000个家庭提供进一步的指导。

疫情过后，我们将以更大的热情迎接同学们重返校园。同时，感谢您抽出宝贵时间阅读这封信。请相信我们在做任何决策时，都会把学生的学习和健康放在首位。

谢谢！

诺德安达教育集团

Dear Nord Anglia family members,

I know that all of our lives have been affected by the Coronavirus and the many challenges it is creating for families and communities. As members of our Nord Anglia family, I wanted to write to you because I know how important a role our school has in providing a reassuring presence and stability for your child in an increasingly uncertain world. I speak for all of my colleagues, when I say it means a great deal to us to be entrusted with your child’s education.

Looking after the wellbeing and education of our students is Nord Anglia’s first priority and we have been working closely with international and local health and education authorities to achieve this objective, while battling the outbreak’s impact on our daily lives.

At the time of writing this letter to you, 65 of our 66 school campuses are closed. We have used our scale to draw on the expertise of our 9,000 educators globally to ensure that we deliver an outstanding virtual school experience for all of our students in times like these. We know that the normality and routine of the school day matters more than ever to our students and we want our virtual school experience to inspire them to learn, talk and laugh with their teachers, classmates and friends wherever they are in the world. Using the very best learning techniques, technology and the talents of our worldwide teaching community, we will make sure your child’s personalized learning maintains the high quality and engaging experience they’ve come to love in their school’s classrooms.

We care deeply about your child’s wellbeing which is why our lessons and programs are focused not just on academics, but also incorporate important physical, social and creative activities to nurture our students in a holistic way. In the coming days, we will be sharing with you and the other 66,000 Nord Anglia families around the world further guidance from our teachers on how to help your child make the most of their virtual school experience.

When it is safe to do so, we look forward to welcoming you and your child back into our school’s campus. In the meantime, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this message and assure you that our students’ learning and wellbeing are at the heart of every decision we take.

Yours,

Andrew Fitzmaurice

CEO
