近日密西根已出現新冠病毒確診病例，許多學校也已經停止課後活動及大型活動，本校為了因應防疫措施，也將採取一些調整，請各位仔細閱讀以下變動：

(1) 本週六 3/14 : 中文學校取消上課。
學生們不需來學校。家長們可以來領取之前交的作業簿和之前訂購的書包。
老師們請帶Laptop/Tablet來學校 (1:30 PM @ 8年級教室)，我們將為您設定網路教學軟體(Google Hangouts)，並演示如何使用操作。當天也將提供軟體操作手冊。

(2) 下週六 3/21 維持停課。
各班老師可以和家長們利用一點時間做線上測試，如有任何技術問題請向校長信箱反映。若家長們有相關的專長，也請讓校長知道，未來可能需要您的技術協助。

(3) 3/28 起正式啟用網路遠距教學，直至疫情減緩。年紀較小的學生網路上課時，可能需要家長一旁陪同，幫助他們專注集中。

(4) 經密西根中文學校聯合會理事會決議及本校董事會討論，今年的校內(4/18)和校際(5/9)演講比賽都將取消。5/9 將用於補 3/14 的臨時停課。

本學期接下來的活動和會議，將持續於未來的週報中更新，如有任何新的消息也會email公告，敬請密切注意。若您欲提供其他資訊或建議給學校，請您 email 到 mcs.tw.roc@gmail.com  謝謝您。

Dear MCS associates,

Michigan just confirmed first two positive tests for COVID-19. Many schools have taken corresponding actions cancelling unnecessary activities. MCS is also making some adjustments as following.  Please read carefully.

(1) Classes are cancelled for this Saturday 3/14.
Students are not required to present; Parents may come to pick up homework and backpack.
Teachers – please still come to school (1:30 PM @ 8th grade classroom) and bring your laptops/tablet. We will assist you to setup and test Google Hangouts on your devices. A user document will be provided.

(2) 3/21 remains NO school.
Teachers will schedule a brief connection test with parents for the use of Google Hangouts. If you encounter any technical issues, please email to Principal. Parents with related technical skills/knowledge please let me know as we may need your help in later days. Thank you!

(3) All MCS classes will resume on 3/28 over Google Hangouts officially until further notice. Younger students will need parents to accompany during the class and help them concentrating.

(4) In-School (4/18) & Inter-School (5/9) Speech Contests are cancelled for this year. We will take classes on 5/9 as a makeup for 3/14.

Further updates will be shared in newsletters for activities and meetings for the remaining of the semester. Feedbacks and suggestions are welcome and please route them to Principal’s mailbox.

Again, to protect yourselves from coronavirus, CDC and MDHHS recommend that everyone practice basic prevention:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are unavailable. 
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. 
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue (or your sleeve) when coughing. 
• Avoid contact with people who are sick. 
• Measure temperature often. Stay home if you are sick, and contact your health provider.
• If you traveled in past 14 days, please self-quarantine at home for 2 weeks.
