Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am writing this email to inform you that Morrison Academy will have a half day on Thursday, September 28th, 2023 for teachers’ professional learning. The school will be dismissed at 11:30 AM, with the school buses leaving at 11:45 AM. There will be no lunch during this half day. This is a system-wide Professional Learning day for all teachers to meet, receive training, and learn from each other.
Due to the half day falling on a Thursday, MAK will NOT have a late start. Instead, classes will start at 8:00 am. The school bus schedule will be adjusted to ensure that students are on time for the 8:00 am class start time. Thank you for understanding and making the adjustments to this change.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kim
親愛的家長與監護人,
高雄馬禮遜美國學校將於 2023 年 9 月 28 日(星期四)下半天的時間進行教師專業教育培訓。因此,學校當天將於上午11:30 放學,而校車於上午 11:45 出發。學校當天將不會提供中餐。這是全體馬禮遜學校系統的專業教育培訓日,讓所有教師會集、接受培訓,並互相觀摩、學習。
由於星期四只有半天的上課時間,校方決定將當天上課時間調整到上午 8:00 開始,不會延遲開始。校車接送時刻表也將進行調整,以確保學生可以準時到校。
感謝您的理解與調整配合。
校長 金德民博士
敬上
Family Day has been moved to December 2, 2023 (11am-3pm)!
2023-24 Yearbook Photos
Last Friday in Assembly, ES had their annual Student Council election to select the president for the 2023-2024 school year. All the candidates (Elizabeth Tsai, Marc Lin, and Mercy Lee) did an incredible job with their campaign and speeches. In the end, it was a VERY close race, with final results separated by only a few votes. Congratulations to Elizabeth Tsai for winning the role of President and Mercy Lee for the role of Vice-President!
Lastly, congratulations to Ethan Huang (GK), Boaz Hsu (G1), Queena Yang (G2), Chris Hsu (G4), Amber Pan (G5), Angel Hsin (G5), and Rachel Chen (G5) for winning the August Fruit of the Spirit Award for showing LOVE in action at MAK!
Hope to see parents and guardians at our future Chapels and Assemblies!
