MCS 行政手冊提案公告:新增副校長為董事會一員
基於以下原因,我們提案新增副校長為董事會一員,在此統一公告並預計於2021年10月16日由所有註冊家庭投票表決此提案
- 幫助副校長順利銜接下一學年校長職務,將副校長納入董事會提前熟悉學校政策研議及董事會的運作
- 董事會席位因此成為奇數,避免往後董事會投票表決未過半數或平票的情況發生

Dear MCS Families,
Thank you very much for attending our 1st Parent Assembly meeting of the school year last Saturday. It’s great to be able to share the school operation status update and welcome our new MCS families in person (again)! Also, many thanks to our staff members to make this event a success!
Below please find a few announcements for our 4th week of the class tomorrow.
Parent on Duty:
Family: 周揚智/徐秀珠
Tasks:
- Keeping the school hours by ringing the bell at the beginning and the end of each class
- Keeping students in order and safe during recess (e.g., no student running/chasing allowed inside the Ward church)
Chinese Reading Month (Oct 2- Nov 6)
We are about to kick off an approximately month-long event meant to encourage our students to immerse themselves with Chinese book reading and/or video watching in addition to their Chinese learning in class. Parents are encouraged to join your student’s reading month activities to make it a family fun event! Detailed participating instructions (including reward format at the end of the program) will be communicated by your respective class teacher tomorrow.
Review of MCS By-Law Amendment Proposal re: Expanding MCS Board voting member composition to include Vice Principal (“VP”)
We presented this proposal along with the rationales (below) during our 1st Parent Assembly meeting last week, and plan to launch a voting among all MCS member families on Oct 16, 2021 to allow MCS member families to review and/or comment on the proposal prior to voting in accordance with the current By-Law.
Rationale:
- Facilitate VP’s transition into Principal in the following school year via gaining exposure to the Board decision making process and to the topics that might be carried over to the following school year
- A board member body consisting of odd number of vote aligns with the general practice to achieve majoritarian voting
2021-2022 MCS Directory Advertising Fundraising (Now – Oct 23, 2021)
It’s that time again for our annual school directory editing/production (Big shout-out to our Documentation team led by Steven Lien and Wen-Chi Shaw) and advertising fundraising campaign. It will be greatly appreciated if parents can sign up to contact the pre-populated sponsors and/or to develop new sponsors for our school. Please go to the sign-up link (here) to learn more about the process and past sponsors.
As a small token of gratitude, a reward of $20 (for each full-page advertisement) or $15 (for each half-page advertisement) will be awarded to each parent who successfully secures the sponsorship to our school. Feel free to download the flyer with detailed advertising package options to facilitate your engagement with your sponsor(s).
Free Chinese Reading Book Exchange (outside of the classroom area)
- Program guideline:
- Honor system based so no reservation needed or rental record tracking
- Exchange/Borrowing is limited to one book per student for one class week (i.e., pick up on Saturday class and return on the next Saturday class)
- Donation of Chinese reading books are greatly appreciated
Health and Wellness Practices (in School & at Home)
- Details can be found here;
- Two friendly reminders:
- Universal masking upon entering the Ward Church facility
- No indoor food consumption; snacking at outdoor areas only
MCS is a non-profit co-op organization with students’ parents serving various non-teaching staff positions as volunteers to help create a self-sufficient, community oriented Chinese learning environment. Serving as MCS volunteer is a great way to get involved and expand your network with other MCS families, and any help you could provide is greatly appreciated. Each volunteer family is eligible for a $30 volunteer reward at the end of the school year.
