MAK Student School Bus Behavior Contract / MAK 學生校車行為合同電子郵件

Student School Bus Behavior Contract Email: 

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

Morrison Academy’s #1 GOAL FOR EACH DAY IS TO TRANSPORT ALL STUDENT BUS RIDERS SAFELY TO AND FROM SCHOOL.  In order to accomplish this goal, we need the cooperation of the student bus riders.  Good student behavior while entering, riding, and leaving the bus contributes in many ways to safe transportation. Such conduct allows the driver to give full attention to the roadway and other drivers. 

Please click here to review and discuss MAK’s Student School Bus Behavior Contract with your child.  The Student School Bus Behavior Contract provides information to your child concerning student conduct on the bus. Please review, discuss, and sign the form before Friday, August 18th, 2023.  The primary purpose of rules and procedures on the buses is for the safety of all students. Your child’s cooperation in following all rules and procedures is appreciated by the drivers, who are the final authority on their bus. 

Please call the Queen Bus Company or MAK’s bus coordinator, Mr. Ashburn Chen, for questions concerning buses or drivers.  

Again, thank you for reviewing and discussing MAK’s Student School Bus Behavior Contract with your child.  Please ensure you submit the contract by Friday, August 18, 2023.  

Thank you, 

Dr. Kim

學生校車行為合同電子郵件: 

親愛的家長和監護人, 

馬禮遜學院每天的首要目標是安全地接送所有乘坐校車的學生上下學。為了實現這一目標,我們需要乘車學生的配合。學生在進入校車、乘坐校車和離開校車時的良好行為在很多方面都有助於交通安全。這樣的行為習慣可以使駕駛員全神貫注於道路行駛上。

 請點擊此處與您的孩子一起閱讀並討論MAK學生校車行為規範合同。學生校車行為合同為您的孩子提供了有關學生在校車上行為的資訊。請在 2023 年 8 月 18 日(星期五)之前閱讀、討論並簽署該表格。校車上的規則和程序的主要目的是為了所有學生的安全。校車司機是校車的最終管理者,他們非常重視您孩子在遵守校車規則和程序方面的合作。

 如對校車或司機有任何疑問,請致電皇后校車公司或MAK校車協調員 Ashburn 陳先生

再次感謝您閱讀並與您的孩子討論 MAK 學生校車行為合同。請確保在 2023 年 8 月 18 日(星期五)之前提交合同。

謝謝!

校長 Kim

MAK DADS!

Mothers at Morrison Academy have many wonderful opportunities to get together throughout the school year. This past year, I was longing for the same for the fathers even with the understanding that many of the fathers are busy with work. I wanted to try to create a space for fathers to connect, to talk about their children, and pray for the Morrison community. Dads in Prayer provides opportunities, support, and resources for fathers to develop a heart of prayer for their children and families. It helps those fathers want to pray for their children but may not have much time or may not know how to. If you are a father with a heart for your children and would like to be part of Dads in Prayer at Morrison Academy, there will be a soft rollout of this new group on Thursday, August 31st from 845am-10am in the HS Meeting Room. If you are interested, please email Simon Hsu at makdip2023@gmail.com with your name so that you can be included on our Dads in Prayer LINE group. Please come join us!

Tentative dates: 8/31, 9/21, 10/26, 11/30, 12/14
