MFCS Weekly Newsletter – 9/19/2021 – 9/25/2021
每周公告2021年9月19日-2021年9月25日
We had another successful week with our first in-person Language and Culture classes. It was wonderful to have the in-person students back in the building and to see the buzz and excitement on faces as they saw friends and went off to classes. It was also nice to reunite with friends and families that I had not seen in 19 months. I sincerely want to thank the students, families, teachers, staff, and administration for making our first day of in-person classes a tremendous success.
On Campus Mask Mandate
The safety of our students, teachers, families, staff and the administration continues to be our main priority as we begin to reopen and expand our in-person Language and Culture Class offerings. We have been careful in our approach by following guideline set by the state of New Jersey, as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and we will continue to take a cautious approach while in-person.
Everyone, regardless of vaccination status, are required to wear masks inside the Monmouth Fidelity Chinese School at the Marlboro Middle School campus during school hours. The only exceptions are when an individual is eating or drinking. Neck gaiters cannot be substituted for a mask. Every member of the MFCS family plays an important role in protecting the health and well-being of our school.
The MFCS Board will continue to monitor guidance from state and federal health officials and will respond to any changing circumstances as needed.
Together we will create a safe and welcoming learning environment for everyone.
