High School Final Exams 高中期末考

High School final exams are coming up December 16-20! Please click on the following links to view the grade specific exam schedule: Grade 9 Schedule, Grade 10 Schedule, Grade 11 Schedule, Grade 12 Schedule. Thank you for encouraging your children to prepare well for these exams 🙂

Since Monday, December 16 is designated as a study day, we will have study groups, study halls, and teachers available for study helps at MAK to help students prepare for their finals.  Alternatively, students could also choose to study at home and use online tools to connect with teachers during that day. As parents, you can decide where your child will study on December 16.  

Here are the instructions we gave to High School students:

1) If you are on campus, you must be in the designated study hall location. 

2) You are not required to be at school except for exams, so if your parents want to bring you late/pick you up early, that is fine. (But you cannot leave in the middle of the day and return.)  

3) You may NOT leave campus without your parents picking you up unless you are taking the normal bus.

4) Snacks will be provided on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from your parents/PAC.  Enjoy the brain boost!   

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Griffin at griffinj@ma.org.tw. Happy studying!

高中期末考試週是在12月16日至20日！請單擊以下鏈接查看年級考試時間表：9年級時間表，10年級時間表，11年級時間表，12年級時間表。感謝您鼓勵您的孩子為這些考試做好準備：-)

隨信附上本學期高中最後一週的行事曆。12月16日(一)這一天為自修日。當天，我們會有自修小組和個人自修時間，以及老師們會在學校內協助學生們準備期末考。同時，學生也可以決定當天是否要到校，或是在家自修及使用線上通訊軟體與老師們聯繫。您也可以自行決定您的孩子在當天是否到校自修。

以下是我們給高中生的規範：

1. 如果你選擇到校，你必須在指定的地點自修。
2. 除了考試時間以外，你不一定要到校。所以，如果你的父母可以配合你的時間接送，晚送早回都可以，但是請勿到校後離開又返回，重覆進出校園。
3. 若你的父母無法接送，請搭乘校車，並配合校車時間進出校園，不能擅自離校。
4. 家長和 PAC會在周二，週三和周四提供點心。請享受提供的點心！

如有任何疑問，請聯絡Mrs. Griffin (griffinj@ma.org.tw)。 學習愉快！
