Just a reminder that if you have too many library books at home, you can send library books back to school with your child at any time. Sometimes it’s good to send the books back a few at a time so that it’s not too heavy for younger children. Students can put the books back on the return cart in the library to be checked back in, or put books in the return bins in their classroom teacher’s room. 

提醒您，如果您家裡還有從圖書館所借出的書，請讓孩子帶回學校歸還。如果一次拿來太重的話，可以分批歸還。學生們可以把要歸還的書放在圖書館的還書架上，或是放在教室裡的還書箱，老師會一同歸還。

High School Sports Update

Under current covid restrictions MAK sports teams are allowed to practice but are prohibited from participating in competitions with other schools. TISSA has made the decision that if government restrictions are in place 4 weeks from a respective tournament date, then that TISSA tournament is cancelled.  

Unless the government restrictions change then the HS Sports Exchange on September 25th will be cancelled.

高中體育資訊更新

依照防疫規範，目前校隊可以練習，但是不能跟其他學校比賽。如果比賽日期前的四個禮拜，還是不能舉辦比賽的話，TISSA將會取消比賽。

除非政府的防疫規定鬆綁，不然原訂九月25日的高中交換賽目前是取消的。
