Tasks:

• Keeping the school hours by ringing the bell at the beginning and the end of each class

Despite the improvement of the overall COVID-19 situation, please continue to stay vigilant against  COVID-19 and be reminded of a few safety protocols below.  

COVID 19 Protocols

• Students should review the student at-home screening sheet before arriving at school.  
• If your child tests positive for COVID-19, please contact your teacher and class parent rep.  
• A student or staff member who tests positive for COVID-19 must quarantine for two weeks.
• Universal masking upon entering the Ward Church facility. 

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

Student Volunteer Sign-Up! (Link Here)

All actual volunteering hours will be tracked and provided with MCS’s community service hour certificates.  We look forward to having more student volunteers from the  current MCS registering families (teachers included) and/or MCS alumni.

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.
