學校基本準則 CMCLS General School Policies

 School Operating and Safety Rule

1.  We are the only authorized organization to use the Hastings school from 2pm to 5pm on Sunday.  No one shall be allowed to be in the school without our authorization.  If you see any stranger or suspected situation, please report to principal, teacher, or school committee member immediately.   The staff shall also report it to principal or vice principal.  We will keep it as a record and communicate with Hastings school.

2.  Each classroom will maintain a daily log by either teacher or authorized parent.  The daily log will contain the classroom opening and closing conditions and unusual situations or observations.  It will be used as a reference to communicate with Hastings school.

3.  All students shall stay in cafeteria or hallway until their teacher or authorized parent arrives.  This will ensure that the students will be fully supervised and the classroom opening condition can be checked.  The teacher may ask parent to help for classroom opening. 

4.  All un-supervised (by teacher, TA, or school staff) students must leave the classroom/library to the cafeteria/hallway/gym during the recess time.

5.  After the language class the teacher or the authorized parent shall be the last person to leave the classroom.  The teacher or the parent shall check & record the classroom conditions, turn off the light, and close the doors.  The daily log shall be dropped into the daily log drop box afterward.

6.  The students and parents are not allowed to enter closed classroom except in emergency.

7.  Students are not allow to go outside of the building without adult supervision (e.g., teacher, parents, Note: TA not included) at any time.

8.  In case of fire the teacher and TA shall follow the evacuation path posted in each classroom doors and direct the students to go outside.  Do not leave any student unattendent.  The staffs shall help to direct all others to leave the building (also check restroom).  The principal/vice principal shall make emergency phone call.

10.  No running or playing balls (except in the cultural class under supervision) in classroom, library, cafeteria, and hallway.

11.  No food allowed in classroom or hallway due to severe food allergies of some Hastings school students.   

Cultural Class Special Student

We have cultural classes to provide our students the opportunities to learn and appreciate the Chinese culture. However, these cultural classes are primarily designed for our language class students. Therefore, the cultural classes will open to non-language class students on limited basis with higher fee.    

New Student Placement and Auditing

Starting from the 2002-2003 school year, a new student must be evaluated by school staffs prior to his or her enrollment to the language class.  The school staff will determine the most appropriate class for the student.   However, the student will have the option to choose higher level class as auditing student. Our teachers do not have any teaching obligations to the students who are auditing. The auditing students are encouraged -- but not required -- to do homework, tests, and other activities. At the end of the school year, if an auditing student meets the minimum requirement of academic performance, his/her teacher may recommend that he or she be a formal next-level student in the coming year.  Auditing students cannot get a certification for their studies at our school.

Parent Duties

At our school, student families are responsible to perform Parent Duties during school day(s).  The duties would include works such as school related copying, patrolling classrooms etc. Our staffs will inform the families prior to the on duty day.  Parent Duties are waived for the families of the language/cultural teachers and the committee members.

School Cancellation Procedure

The CMCLS School Website www.cmcls.org will announce any school cancellation due to inclement weather no later than 9am on the day of the school.  If there is school cancellation, the school will activate the emergency phone network described in the school directory to call every parent and teacher.  An email notification will also be sent to all school members (including teachers and parents) in our current email distribution list.  If you don't receive a school cancellation notice, you shall assume the school will be open as usual.  However, please also use your own judgments since the weather and road condition may be different at various locations.  If you are a school teacher and you cannot come while the school is open, please call the Academic Director or Vice Academic Director.  If you are on parent duties and you cannot come while the school is open, please call the General Affairs Director or Vice General Affairs Director.
