后记：

在家校共育中，家长不仅是响应者、参与者，更是教育者、合作者。一直以来，在杨帆校长智慧引领下，万科双语学校始终树立“家长是建构、组织、实施和评价课程的优势资源和创新智慧，共建家校命运共同体”的科学意识，积极开展多种多样的家校共育特色活动，努力为家长创设了解体验万双特色课程的机会，引导家长建立科学、准确的课程观，凝聚家园共育力量，不断丰富万双课程建设，合力促进学生全面和谐发展。

育人，是学校的初心。成才，是家庭的梦想。培育每一个孩子更好成长，这是学校和家庭共同的愿望。本次家长开放日活动，拉近了学校和学生家庭的距离，促进了老师和家长的沟通。家校携手，定能共筑美好的教育梦!

Parents are not just the responders, participants, they are the educators and teammates with schools when it comes to educating children with cooperations between family and school in education. Led by Principal Yang's intelligence, VBS consistently establishs the ideology 'Parents are the sources of innovation and resources for organising, building, implementing and evaluating curricula, hence building a community of shared future between family and school'. VBS actively organises featured activities to promote cooperations between family and school in education so that parents are able to experience VBS special curricula and have an accurate view on curriculum. Hence they put up all strength in cooperations and contribute to offer a greater variety of VBS curriculum which facilitates the holistic development of students.

The purpose of schools is to educate students, the dream of families is to see their children achieve success. Both the schools and families wish to make every student grow even better. The Open Day has brought VBS and parents closer and facilitated their communications. With this cooperation, the dream to achieve such education is set to be achieved.
