 1.     Complain from MCCC

School has received a complaint from MCCC that table/chairs had been moved out from several classrooms on Sept 16 and tables & chairs were stacked upon each other. Furniture must not be removed from classrooms and, to prevent injury, furniture must not be stacked. If furniture is moved out of the way inside a room, the tables and chairs must be moved back into the position in which they were found when entering the room.

Teachers and Parent Representatives must check before leaving the classrooms. Thanks for your corporation.

 4.       Tuition payment overdue:

a) There are still families not pay full tuition by today. Since we scheduled the field game last week, school postponed the deadline for the tuition submission. Please pay your tuition ASAP.  Otherwise, a penalty will be imposed to your account.

b) If you have already paid your tuition in full and still receive a message from school for tuition payment, please let school know with any proof of the payment.

Otherwise, $30 will be deducted for the 3rd week and $40 for the fourth week. No refund will be issued after the fifth week.

5.    Info of Field Game Day: (Sunday, Oct 21)  

Due to the un-predicted weather change on September 23, we had to cancel our long planned field game day. The new tentative day for our field game is October 21(Sunday). We plan to use the large gym in the PE Center of MCCC as the site for our field game if it is raining day, so that the weather should not be a problem anymore. We will confirm with MCCC manager for that. Detailed info will come out next week. To be tuned.  请各班保护好学校提供的入场牌,以备10月21日使用。
