Middle and High School Back-to-School Letter

Dear Middle and High School Parents and Students,

We hope this letter finds you well and that you are enjoying your summer break. As we prepare to begin the new academic year of 2025-2026, please note that the first day of school is Monday, August 11th. We are eagerly looking forward to welcoming you and beginning an exciting year ahead.

To help students transition smoothly, the student council has planned various icebreakers and activities on the first day for Middle and High School. Students should wear comfortable shoes and bring their school bags, stationery, and water bottles. During these activities, students will receive their locker keys (Middle school and High school only) and textbooks, meet their teachers, and learn about their classes. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to start the year on a positive note and get acquainted with their new environment.

Parents dropping off or picking up their children should enter through the front gate of Chunghua University. Directions to our campus can be found at the following URL:https://has.hc.edu.tw/contact-direction. For students using the school bus, the General Affairs office has emailed the pick-up and drop-off schedule. Additionally, we will have buffet-style lunches, so students participating in the school lunch program should remember to bring their eating utensils.

We are excited to see you all soon and wish you a happy and successful school year.

Best regards,

Darin MurphySuperintendent

為協助學生們順利銜接新學期，學生會特別規劃了一系列破冰與趣味活動，將於開學第一天在中學部與高中部舉行。請學生穿著舒適的鞋子，攜帶書包、文具及水壺到校。開學當天，學生們將領取置物櫃鑰匙（中學部及高中部）與課本，與授課老師見面、認識課程內容，希望這樣的安排能幫助學生們用愉快的心情迎接新學期，也更快適應新的學習環境。

家長接送學生時，請由中華大學正門進入校園，校區交通資訊請參閱以下網址：https://has.hc.edu.tw/contact-direction。搭乘校車的同學，總務處已透過 email 寄發接送時間表，請留意信件內容。此外，學校午餐採自助餐形式供應，登記使用學校供餐服務的學生，請記得每日攜帶個人餐具。
