各位密西根中文學校的家長老師們好

上周舉辦的第二次家長大會，會中經全校家長投票一致通過鄭宗健(現任教務助理一職)為密西根中文學校2022-2023學年副校長，將協助新任校長陶茂森處理校務，敬請所有家長學生們給予我們最大的支持，持續順利的將學校運作下去。

2022-2023新學年註冊即將於5月21日開放，請點選此連結 (HERE) 於學校網頁註冊，目前在校學生於本學年最後上課日(6月4日)前註冊，每位學生均有$20註冊費減免的舊生優惠，請大家記得於6月4日完成線上註冊。

最後再次提醒大家，明天就是認字活動了，今年將用評量檢定的方式取代以往的比賽模式，增加所有學生的參與感及鼓勵學生自我對中文的學習，相信大家都做好準備了，期許所有的學生們都能順利通過檢定。

下週末是Memorial Day weekend 學校停課一週。祝大家有個愉快的長週末，稍作休息，回來之後參加這學年的畢結業式典禮，一起為這一學年劃下美好的句點！

Dear MCS Families,

I am pleased to announce that Ken Cheng (current Assistant Academic Affairs) has been elected during our 2nd parent assembly meeting last week to serve as our vice principal for the coming 2022-23 school year, supporting our incoming principal Sam Taur to lead the MCS operation.

The online registration form for the 2022-23 school year will go live tomorrow (May 21) so please use the link (HERE) to access and complete the registration form accordingly.  Similar to before, the registration fee ($20 per student) will be waived for the existing MCS families who complete the early registration between tomorrow (May 21) and the last day of school (Jun 4).

Last but not least, tomorrow we will host our annual word recognition event.  As previously announced, the event will be conducted via an “evaluation” format (vs. contests in the past) to encourage all students’ participation and promote students’ interests of self-learning.  

There is no school next Sat in observation of the Memorial Day, and the class will resume on the following week (Jun 4).  Wish everyone a great Memorial Day weekend in advance.

Parent on Duty:

Family: Chow, Chan-Choy (George)/Huang, Hsuan-Jung         

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)

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 Volunteer Sign-Up (Link Here)

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.
