Back to School Letter

Dear HAS Community,

We are very excited to begin our 2021-2022 school year at Hsinchu American School. We know that this summer has been difficult for everyone so we believe that it is more important than ever to start school off with enthusiasm and HAS spirit! I know we have so many great things to look forward to!

Throughout this pandemic, we as teachers and staff have not ceased to be amazed by our HAS family. Our students’ strength and dedication has been an inspiration to us all. One would be hard pressed to find another group of young men and women more resilient than ours.

The safety and well being of our students is our main priority at HAS. We follow all COVID 19 procedures and ensure that all students' and staffs’ temperatures are taken as they enter and masks are worn at all times. All HAS staff have also followed the vaccine and COVID 19 testing procedures as well.

We have some great things planned for this year for the HAS Wolves. The Student Council has been working hard to try to plan events and teachers have been planning throughout the summer for this exciting start to school. We believe that this will be another unforgettable year for HAS.

We welcome all HAS students to come and join us in a day of school student orientation and HAS spirit activities on Tuesday, Aug 10, 2021 to start off our school year on the right foot. We have waited all summer for this and we can’t wait to see you all!

Sincerely,

Mr. Murphy Mrs. Wilson

Head of School Principal

親愛的學生及家長您好

將近兩個月的暑假將要結束，非常開心2021-2022學年即將展開！相信在疫情爆發之後，嚴格的防疫管制措施下，大家都度過了很不一樣的暑期生活。這個時候，我們更需要拿出新竹美國學校的精神與熱情，來面對接下來的各種挑戰，未來還有許多美好校園生活值得大家期待。

在這場疫病大流行中，我們看到了學生間互相扶持、對學校措施的配合，無不讓全校教職員感佩，很難找再到比我們這群更堅強、更有韌性學生的了。

開學後維護學生們的健康安全，是我們首要任務，學校遵循教育部COVID 19教學活動防疫指引，所有入校學生及教職員，必須監測體溫並佩戴口罩。教職員完成接種疫苗，或接種疫苗未滿14天、未接種疫苗者定期進行快篩。

新學年，我們為新竹美國學校的小狼們規劃了一系列有趣的活動。學生會於暑假時間，已經開始著手擬訂所有活動計畫，老師們也在暑假期間為開學做足準備，相信這又會是個讓大家難忘的一年。

8月10日(星期二)是開學日，老師們已經準備好許多迎新及激勵精神的豐富活動，讓大家用積極正向的方式來開啟新的學年，期待大家返回校園，擁抱知識享受精彩校園生活，老師們已迫不及待想要見到大家了。

敬祝

安康

總校長 Mr. Murphy
