How are your first online lessons, UTS-ers? In response to the new fluctuations of the pandemic, we have to stay apart from each other in the very last days of Semester II, School year 2020 – 2021. We are now missing the images of UTS-ers who studied as well as played enthusiastically everyday going to school! Although we are not together, let’s keep in mind that we can overcome these difficulties to meet each other again at UTS campus in the near future. To make this wish come true, please follow these protection measures as follow: 1. Always wear medical mask or textile mask in public and crowded areas, medical center and quarantine zones. 2. Regularly wash hands with soap or hand sanitizer; clean surfaces and contacting objects (door knobs, mobile phones, tablets, tables, and chairs). 3. Keep safe distance with each other. 4. Avoid mass gatherings. 5. Conduct health declaration as required while going outside.   The pandemic brings us many challenges, but it is an occasion for us to prove our awareness, positive spirit and readiness for the rapidly changing world. Let’s try together, UTS-ers!

Ms. Giang Tien, Mother of Uyen Phuong – student of Class 7.2, expressed meaningful feelings about her daughter’s learning journey at UTS: “Uyen Phuong enrolled the 7th grade at UTS after 6 years studying at another school. During the last school year, she achieved good results in not only academic but also extra-curricular fields such as drama and sports. Uyen Phuong was always a good student in previous school years, but her limitation is that she rarely communicates with other people. This limitation was immediately improved when enrolled at UTS and learned Drama – Civic Education. After very first lessons, her communication skills are much better than before. Especially, Director Viet Linh and Ms. Cam Tien inspired Uyen Phuong a lot so that she could freely express her emotions through the lines of the “Make friends with the sky” drama on professional stages. UTS has brought Drama the into education curriculum, marking a spectacular step for changing the teaching method of some “unconvincing” subjects. Moreover, Uyen Phuong received a lot of support, companion and encouragement from both UTS and family. It has a great impact on Uyen Phuong so that she can go further and longer in the following school years. With that being said, it is also important to mention the role of parents in creating success for children. Parents should cooperate with the school and not just assign all responsibility in students’ training to the school. Parents, more special than anyone else, must figure out the advantages and disadvantages of their children, then have exact solutions and encouragement for any behavior of their children. In addition, UTS’ facilities, the enthusiasm of Admissions counselors, security guards, and homeroom assitance agents also also make UTS become a friendly school. I am grateful for what UTS has been doing and also
