Dear Parents, Hello: As the Lunar New Year approaches, the winter city is filled with warmth and anticipation. Education has never been just a child's personal journey, but a beautiful companionship of the city and family walking hand in hand. Upholding the principle that "every child is precious," the city government combines innovative thinking with local characteristics and resources to help every school develop its unique cultural style and brand, providing children with richer and more heartwarming learning experiences. This effort has also been widely recognized by society. For three consecutive years, we have been awarded the National Education Quality Gold Award by "China Times" and the "Taiwan World News Communication Association." Furthermore, in the "CommonWealth Magazine" 2025 Sustainable Happy City Survey, we ranked first among the six major cities in the education and culture aspect, gently safeguarding children's future with the most precious educational resources. In recent years, with children at the core and education as the root, the city government has continuously promoted several important educational policies. By actively expanding 2-year-old classes and subsidizing tuition for 5-year-old children, we are alleviating the burden on parents. A child's growth happens only once. Taoyuan has taken the lead among the six major cities in implementing the free nutritious lunch policy, allocating nearly 1.9 billion yuan annually to improve the quality of nutritious lunches for elementary and junior high school students, ensuring children eat healthily and balanced meals. To ensure that students can continue to consume essential nutrients such as calcium and protein during their crucial growth and development stages, the "Every Student Drinks Fresh Milk - Taoyuan Calcium Health" policy will be implemented starting February 23, 115. Children aged 2 to 12 can receive a bottle of fresh milk or soy milk weekly with their student ID or children's fresh milk card. In addition, the city government will invest 150 million yuan to completely replace old desks and chairs in the city's junior and senior high schools that have been in use for over 8 years, to protect students' vision and bone development, and enhance the overall safety and comfort of classrooms. Children's growth is the true happiness of a city. We thank parents for their long-term cooperation with schools. The city government will continue to build a friendly campus and jointly cultivate the spirit of humanistic care, technological literacy, and sustainable innovation in the children of this city. During the winter break, parents are kindly requested to pay close attention to and remind children of the following matters: I. Parent-Child Learning to Welcome the New Year: Reading is the starting point for cultivating thinking and understanding the world. Please parents make good use of the holiday to accompany your children to borrow books, visit exhibitions, or use various e-book resources at the Taoyuan Public Library and its branches to enhance children's self-learning and reading habits. II. Home Protection for Safety: In cold weather, please ensure ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Parents, please pay attention to children's dietary safety, prevent influenza and enteroviruses, and develop good hygiene habits. III. Drug Prevention for Growth: Emerging drugs have diverse forms and are often disguised as snacks, beverages, and mixed into cigarette cartridges to lure children into accidental ingestion. Please parents encourage children to bravely refuse temptation and stay away from drug risks. IV. Utilizing the Internet for Self-Discipline: Use 3C products appropriately, develop healthy internet habits and correct attitudes towards internet use. Families should set internet rules, take appropriate breaks to avoid eye strain. V. Recognizing and Preventing Scams for Peace of Mind: Remind children to be aware of potential risks on social platforms, communication software, and online platforms, and to prevent scams related to part-time jobs, fake online shopping, fake dating games, game points, or virtual treasure scams. VI. Galloping into the New Year for Health: During the Spring Festival holiday, encourage parents and children to go outdoors for outings, cultivate children's self-exercise, and make the winter break more fulfilling and healthy. To facilitate parents' early planning of Spring Festival holiday activities, this year's winter break starts on January 24th and classes resume on February 23rd. If children experience emotional or learning difficulties during the holiday, they can make an appointment for counseling with a psychologist through the "Taoyuan City Mind Recharge Station Student Psychological Care Platform" (https://care.tyc.edu.tw/). For urgent or major matters, please contact the school immediately to facilitate timely assistance. In this hopeful Year of the Horse, the city government team will continue to work hard to jointly safeguard children's healthy growth and let the power of love continue to extend in Taoyuan.
