學校規則

School Rules

在新學期的開始，我們要提醒大家幾項重要的規則。違規的同學，适情節輕重，將受懲戒或是開除。

為了全校師生的安全，我們嚴禁同學在走廊上奔跑，也不可以在學校穿底部有輪子的鞋子。
不可以挪動課堂中的東西，包括電腦，教室器材，學生或教師書桌抽屜裏的東西。
不可以擦掉黑板/白板上的字。此外，除非是老師的指示，不可以在黑板/白板上寫字。
教室中嚴禁吃東西或喝飲料。同學應在餐廳或走廊上吃點心。

At the beginning of the school year, we would like to remind you of several important rules. Anyone violating these rules will be subject to discipline or suspension. The rules are:

Running in the hallway or wearing wheel shoes is not allowed, for safety reasons.
In the classroom, do not move or remove anything, including computers, classroom equipment, materials in students' and the teachers' desks.
Do not erase any writing on the black/white boards in the classrooms. You may not write on the board at anytime unless instructed to by your teacher.
No food or drink is allowed in the classrooms. Snacking is restricted to either the cafeteria or hallway.

尋找下年度學校新址

Needed: New School Location

北威目前的校址， Somers Middle School，下年度將施工擴建，因此無法續租給本校。我們目前正在多方尋找下年度學校新址。如果您的學區有任何可能的地點，並且您有認識學區相關人士，請跟校長或董事聯係。我們非常需要您的協助。

We are still in search of a new location for the next school year, when Somers Middle School is scheduled to carry out an expansion project. If you have any connection with your school district, please contact the Principal, Mr. C.K. Chang, or our Board members. We need your help to explore possibilities!

新任註冊

本學年的註冊工作將由呂惠中女士負責。讓我們在此謝謝她。需要辦理加退選的家長請到辦公室找呂惠中。

We are very happy to announce that Ms Hui-zhong Lu has agreed to take on the position of Registrar for this school year. If you need to add or drop a class, please come to the office to see Ms Lu.

課外輔導

Tutoring Service

您的孩子做功課需要輔導嗎？或是您希望有人幫他/她練習中文？在220室有四位輔導員可以幫助您的孩子。如果您有興趣，請帶您的孩子十一點下課后到220室。我們還需要更多的輔導員。十一年級的同學如果有興趣，請到辦公室報名。

If your child(ren) need help with their homework or need help in understanding the class materials, please come to Room 220 from 11:00-12:00. We have four volunteers (our 11th grade students) to help them out. No appointments are needed - just walk in! We also encourage anyone in the 11th grade who is interested in becoming a tutor to contact the office for details.

消防演習

Fire Drill

消防演習將于九月三十日舉行。請各班老師查看教室內的疏散路線圖。上課前預告學生，警鈴響時帶領學生迅速疏散到室外。所有的家長也需立刻離開大樓。在大樓外等待時，所有的學生必須跟老師待在一起。演習的過程中，請大家保持良好制序。所有的學生，教職員，及家長必須等到演習完畢才能回到大樓內。

A fire drill is scheduled for this Saturday. We ask that every teacher review the evacuation map with your class in advance. On the day of the drill, inform your students of the drill at the beginning of class, and, once the alarm goes off, lead them out of the building in an orderly manner. All parents are also required to evacuate promptly. It is extremely important that everyone remains outside until the drill is finished. We need your cooperation in order to pass the fire drill requirement.
