Dear KAS Community,
親愛的KAS家人您好:

Faculty Recruiting Update and a Request for Help! The leadership team was busy on Saturday November 13 meeting dozens of teaching candidates around the world at the Global Recruitment Collaborative’s Virtual Recruitment Fair. It was exciting to see how much interest there is from international school teachers to join the Dragons. Although we are casting our net globally, we are also aware that there are many good teachers locally, too. If you know of a great teacher who might like to join us at KAS, please ask them to view the updated vacancy list on our website and, if they see a suitable vacancy, to contact us at joinourteam@kas.tw. We are also always looking for qualified substitute teachers in case you know anyone who might be interested.

招聘教師資訊更新和請求協助！上週六，11月13日，領導團隊忙著在Global Recruitment Collaborative’s 舉辦的線上招聘會上與來自世界各地的數十名教學候選人會面。 很高興看到許多國際學校教師對加入龍隊有很大的興趣。 雖然我們在全球撒網，但我們也意識到台灣本地也有很多好老師。 如果您有認識想加入我們 KAS 的優秀教師，請轉告他們至學校官網上查看最新的職位空缺列表，如果他們看到合適的職位空缺，請寫信至 joinourteam@kas.tw 與我們聯繫。 我們也一直在尋找合格的代課教師，若您認識可能感興趣的人，也請他來信。

At our Open Board Meeting on Wednesday, we had 25+ parents in attendance on Zoom. We heard from KPMG, the external auditing firm, that the school is in good financial condition and that there are no issues of concern. The Leadership Team reported on the work that our teachers are doing with curriculum and for our IB programmes. Our Board also adopted two new statements that will be signed annually by all members of the Board of Directors: a confidentiality agreement and a statement regarding any potential conflicts of interest. There were other decisions made by the Board in their Closed Meeting, and we will report on those to the community in separate emails.
在週三的公開董事會上，有超過 25 位家長上線參與Zoom會議。我們從安侯建業會計師事務所(KPMG) 的報告中得知，學校財務狀況良好，沒有令人擔憂的問題。 領導團隊報告了我們的教師在課程和 IB 課程方面所做的工作。 董事會通過了兩項新的聲明，每年將由全體董事會成員簽署：保密協議和關於任何潛在利益衝突的聲明。 董事會在其非公開會議上還做出了其他決定，我們將透過單獨的電子郵件向KAS社區成員報告這些決定。

We are in regular touch with our liaisons at the Board of Education. We are compliant with the guidance that we receive from that official channel. I know that there is a lot of parent anxiety about the Winter Concert on December 10. Many parents want to attend in person. We want the same thing too, but we are also charged with compliance to the official BoE guidance we receive. The BoE’s restrictions change on a regular basis as more and more people are vaccinated and as conditions stabilize. We’ll continue to check in with the BoE and will inform parents quickly, if the current restrictions regarding parents on campus are relaxed by the BoE.

我們持續與高雄市政府教育局保持定期聯繫。我們遵守來自這個管道收到的任何官方防疫守則。我知道很多家長對於即將在12月10日所舉行的冬季音樂會有一些焦慮。許多家長想要親自來參加。我們也是持同樣的想法，但是我們也同時被要求要遵守教育局的防疫指導原則。隨著越來越多的人接種疫苗和疫情的穩定，教育局的一些限制和政策也會隨著改變。我們將持續與教育局保持聯繫，如果高雄市教育局放寬了目前對家長進入校園的限制，我們會迅速通知家長。

Parents in Tainan, I’m coming to meet you! Please join me and our Curriculum/IB Programmes Coordinator Sara Brodhead at 11 AM on Monday November 29. Email myself or info@kas.tw for more information.

台南的家長們，我將到台南跟你們見面了！請加入我和我們的課程及IB課程協調主任，Sara Brodhead在11月29日早上11點所舉行的會議。如果您需要更多資訊，請email我或是info@kas.tw。

This is the season for thankfulness. Many cultures celebrate an autumn or harvest festival. The USA and Taiwan both have their traditions. This week will be the US Thanksgiving holiday, and we have much to be thankful for as KAS Dragons. We live in a green, safe city on ‘the beautiful isle.’ All our new teachers arrived as quickly as possible in the midst of a global pandemic. Our community has been almost untouched by the rolling lockdowns and hybrid or online learning that kept more than 1.3 billion children out of school for months and months. We have plentiful food at our tables, and beautiful spaces to learn in. Our teachers have jumped into curriculum and planning work this semester, while still showing the care and attention that our students need every day.

這是一個感恩的季節。許多的文化都在慶祝秋天豐收的慶典。在美國及台灣雙雙都有自己的慶祝傳統。這一週是美國的感恩節假期，在這一週是美國的感恩節假期，在高雄美國學校的社區裡，我們有太多要感謝。我們生活在“美麗小島”上一座綠色、安全的城市。在全球疫情大流行期間，我們所有的新教師都盡可能快速抵達台灣。我們的社區幾乎沒有受到封鎖和線上混合到校學習方式的影響，這些措施使得超過 13 億兒童數月失學。我們的餐桌上有充足的食物，還有美麗的學習空間。我們的老師在這學期投入了課程和規劃的工作，同時依然表現出對我們學生每天需要的關心和關注。

There is still much to be done in the coming weeks and months of the school year. This week, let’s all pause, reflect on the past four months, and say thanks for everything that’s been accomplished at KAS in the first semester. Parents, please take time to say thank you to a few teachers or other staff members—even a heartfelt THANK YOU on Line or email is valued and treasured! The science of wellbeing is clear: share your appreciation and gratitude to others, and you’ll feel better yourself.
在這學年的未來幾週和幾個月裡，還有很多事情要做。 本週，就讓我們暫停一下，回顧過去的四個月，並感謝第一學期在 KAS 所取得的一切。 家長們，請花點時間向幾位老師或學校工作人員說聲謝謝——即使是真誠的感謝，或是傳Line、電子郵件也是值得珍惜的！ 幸福的科學很明確：與他人分享您的感謝和感恩之情，您自己也會感覺更好。

There are many items on my ‘gratitude list’ this year. I am thankful for the warm welcome that so many teachers, staff, Board members and parents have given to Laura and I. I’m thankful for the respect and trust that’s been extended to me in my role here. I’m grateful for the strong foundations we have at KAS, such as passionate teachers, beautiful facilities, and exemplary programs for students. I’m even thankful for the work ahead, to develop a stronger vision together for excellence in learning, to improve our facilities and programs, and to ensure that all our students grow BIG in their time at Kaohsiung American School.

在我的‘感謝名單’上還有很多要感謝的人。感謝這麼多來自董事會成員、家長、教職員工給我和Laura溫暖的歡迎。我很感謝我在這裡的角色中給予我的尊重和信任。我很感激，我們在 KAS 擁有的強大基礎，例如充滿熱情的老師、美麗的設施和為學生提供的模範課程。我甚至感謝未來的工作，共同製定更卓越的學習願景，改善我們的設施和課程，並確保我們所有的學生在高雄美國學校的時間裡成長。

In thankfulness,

Mr. Laney, Head of School

Ms. Clark, High School Principal

Mr. Payne, Middle School Principal

Mr. Coyle, Elementary School Principal

Dear 10th Grade Parents,

Before we leave for the winter holidays the current G10 students will learn about the IB Diploma Programme in order to determine if it is a good fit for them in G11 and G12. Parent support is a crucial component of our student’s success in the DP. I HIGHLY encourage all G10 parents to join me for a virtual information session about the IB DP on December 9th at 2:00 PM (the link for the meeting will be shared at a later date). I am happy to meet with you individually so that you have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more if the DP is the best choice for your child. Please just email me to set up a time to meet (sbrodhead@kas.tw). Chinese translation is always available for meetings.
親愛的10年級家長，

在寒假來臨前，我們的10年級學生將了解IB文憑課程，以確定在11、12年級的時候文憑課程是否適合他們。家長的支持是我們學生在文憑課程中取得成功的重要組成部分。我強烈建議所有的10年級家長們一起參與12/9下午兩點的IB文憑課程線上說明會(會議連結將於日後與大家分享)。我非常高興與您個別面談，以便您有機會提出問題並更了解文憑課程是否是您孩子的最佳選擇。請以電子郵件與我約定面談時間(sbrodhead@kas.tw)。會議可提供中文翻譯。

Sincerely,

Sara Brodhead

Elementary parents, there are two Winter Holiday Camps for students in grades 1–4 during the winter break. Invention & Design, Coding and Robotics are the themes for our Skyrock Winter Camp. Students will be on the KAS campus in two small groups for grades 1–2 and grades 3–4. Campers can choose to participate in one, two or three weeks of the camp—each week will feature different projects and materials. There are still spaces remaining in a few of their sections. Skyrock will be on campus to meet parents who are interested at 2:30 PM on Wednesday, November 24. Please sign up HERE to meet them before the holiday begins.

Child Protection/Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Staff Committee:
兒童保護/多樣性、公平、包容和司法工作人員委員會：

Last year KAS staff formed a Child Protection committee to develop policies and practices to ensure that KAS follows local and international laws pertaining to child abuse reporting and safeguarding in schools. The committee expanded to address issues around Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Justice, as we hope to better understand how KAS students experience the school based on their multiple layers of identity that include race, culture, language, gender, orientation and other factors. Our goal is to create a school environment that is free from bias, hate, and oppression, where all students feel supported. The committee meets bi-weekly to create action plans to ensure students’ emotional and physical safety. We hope to find opportunities to include parents in these discussions in the near future.
KAS 職員在去年成立了一個兒童保護委員會，他們制定政策和做法，以確保 KAS 遵守台灣和國際關於虐待與保護兒童的法律。 該委員會擴大了範圍以解決關於多樣性、包容性、公平和正義的問題，因為我們希望能更加地了解 KAS 學生如何以他們的多元身份體驗學校，包括種族、文化、語言、性別、取向和其他因素。 我們的目標是創造一個沒有偏見、仇恨和壓迫的校園環境，讓所有學生都感受到被支持。 學童保護委員會每兩週召開一次會議，制定行動計劃以確保學生的情緒和身體安全。 我們希望在不久的將來找到機會讓家長能參與這些討論。

Mr. Payne, Mr. Coyle, and Ms. Clark, Principals

Student Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Club:
多元化學生、公平、包容和正義的社團

Standing at the perspective of a student, where although we took up the majority of the school population, our voices aren’t always heard. Topics that DEIJ covers tend to be somewhat sensitive, involving their identity, it can be somewhat hard for students to express their opinion regarding their safety. The purpose of DEIJ is to help students to feel safe to express their opinion, and to develop practices for the entire school to have understanding on topics surrounding DEIJ. We hope that school staff and parents can join our discussion and potential discussion on school policy and the changes we can bring to this community.
站在學生的角度，雖然學生佔了學校總人口的大部分，但他們的聲音並不總是會被聽見。 DEIJ 探討涵蓋的話題往往有些敏感，涉及學生的身份，他們可能就很難安全發表意見。 DEIJ 成立的宗旨是要幫助學生感到安全地表達他們的意見，並為整個學校發展實踐以了解圍繞 DEIJ 的主題。 我們希望學校工作人員和家長能夠加入我們關於學校政策以及我們可以為這個社區帶來的變化的討論和潛在討論。

Our approach to learning is to prepare students for a healthy and happy life. At KAS, we support the whole child approach to learning. This approach helps students to prepare for challenges and to have opportunities to grow from mistakes. Children build resilience by expressing, identifying and managing emotions. We address students' needs through a team approach that works with teachers, students, and families. We encourage parents to reach out to their child’s teachers and counselor so that we can create a plan to best support your child’s personal needs. We know that parents are an essential part of students' success.

我們的主要目的是讓學生經由學習擁有健康快樂的生活。在 KAS，我們致力於全人學習，幫助學生隨時準備好面對挑戰，並且從錯誤中學習。讓孩子透過表達、自我認知和情緒管理來建立適應能力，透過與教師、學生和家庭合作的團隊方法來滿足學生的需求。我們鼓勵家長們和老師或輔導老師個別約時間聊聊，便於我們為學生做個人學習規劃。我們知道父母是孩子學習的重要關鍵。

Additionally, the whole child approach focuses on a healthy lifestyle and this includes exercise, nutrition and sleep.

此外，孩子健康生活的模式也包含了運動，營養以及充足睡眠。

• Please help your child to get at least eight hours of sleep each night.

請協助孩子一天至少有8小時的睡眠時間。

• Since our secondary students use computers at school it is important to have students unplug from all electronic devices to ensure adequate rest.

國高中學生們在學校都有在使用電腦了，孩子回到家能遠離電子設備也是很重要的一環。

• If your child is concerned about homework please feel free to discuss this with your child’s teacher and/or counselor. Homework is never an excuse to compromise health.

若孩子擔心作業問題，請隨時找老師討論，作業的重要性不該凌駕於健康之上。

We are here to support you in helping your child to be healthy.

我們希望幫孩子擁有健康生活。

A nurturing environment reminds children that they are appreciated and loved. We encourage you to find ways to celebrate your child’s accomplishments (the small successes are just as important as the big ones). By asking your child what makes you feel proud or tell me about your efforts, you will support a growth mindset and healthy self-esteem. While we understand that it’s important to be modest and humble, it is paramount you recognize your child’s effort. At KAS we work hard to encourage through positive recognition and praise.

成長的環境隨時提醒孩子們，他們是如何的被愛。我們鼓勵家長們陪孩子慶祝一切成就（小事比大事更重要）。藉由和孩子聊什麼讓你們感到驕傲和孩子付出的努力，可以看到孩子自信自尊方面明顯的成長。雖然我們了解也知道謙虛的重要性，但更重要的是您認可孩子們付出的努力。在KAS，我們主張透過讚美來鼓勵孩子們。

If you are interested in reading more about the whole child approach, this article on “What is the Whole Child Education?” from the National PTA organization provides a good overview.

若您希望得到更多全人教育的相關資訊，這篇文章“What is the Whole Child Education?” 應該可以提供您所需的內容。

Greetings! 大家好～

For those of you who don’t know me yet, my name is Tina Wu and I was a class of 2014 KAS graduate. In the past two years, I was able to meet (in some cases, meet again!) the amazing next generation of Dragons. These current students help keep me passionate about all things KAS, 7 years after graduating.

I am passionate about coordinating our internship program, the Future Leaders Program, and the Service Learning program, which mainly includes working with teachers in MYP Service As Action and solidifying our service learning vision and policies. I’m excited to be a part of the KAS community in this capacity and look forward to continuing to support current students!

我是 Tina Wu，2014 年畢業的校友。我很榮幸在兩年前回到 KAS 幫忙各式活動，認識小我好多屆的學弟妹們（有些甚至是我高中時就認識的小學生，現在都不小了！）。學生們不僅帶給我能量與歡樂，也讓我在畢業七年後還對母校充滿熱情。今年，我會繼續將實習計畫（未來領袖計畫）發展地更完善，也正在與校長們、老師、及社區的夥伴們建立符合國際標準及世界發展趨勢的 MYP Service As Action 及全校性的服務學習制度。我很期待繼續以員工的身份從制度面回饋帶著我長大的 KAS，更期待所有可以支持、鼓勵學生的機會！

Today, I will share our exciting budding partnership with Volunteering Taiwan (V Taiwan). Shoutout to our amazing PTA members for connecting us with this great organization! In the next few newsletters, I will introduce more about progress with MYP Service As Action (service connections and action from the curriculum), spotlight student clubs and initiatives, and discuss more of KAS’s service learning vision.

今天，我很期待與大家分享我們與 Volunteering Taiwan (V Taiwan) 合作關係的發展。謝謝家長會的介紹、牽線！在未來的 newsletter 裡，我會向大家報告我們在校內 MYP Service As Action（從MYP 課綱內學術性的主題出發的服務學習連結）的理念及進度，介紹各式校內社團及其他學生主導的活動，及更深入地討論 KAS 的服務學習理念及制度。

Service Trip to Meinong 美濃服務學習活動

On October 23, Saturday, eleven KAS 11th and 12th graders and I went on a service day trip to Meinong organized in partnership with V Taiwan and the Kaohsiung Youth Bureau. We not only learned about Meinong and Hakka culture but also worked in tandem with international volunteers aged 16~35 to transform a family house into a coworking space by painting walls and putting together furniture. Two of our passionate and artistic students, Amelie ‘22 and Elaina ‘22, even borrowed a peer’s iPad and discussed ideas with the project manager to sketch a design on the spot. Sean ‘23, who is from Meinong, was interviewed and quoted by several big news outlets.

10月23日，星期六：我帶著十一位高二及高三的學生到美濃一天。這次的美濃活動是與 V Taiwan 及青年局國際志工團一起舉辦的，所以當天，我們 KAS 的在校生不僅有機會認識美濃、客家文化，還與16~35歲的國際志工一起粉刷、組裝、上漆，將當地徐生明教練伙房修繕成共享空間。兩位對藝術有興趣及能力的學生，Amelie ‘22 和 Elaina ‘22，甚至當場拿出同學的 iPad、與負責人討論便畫出了草稿、在粉刷完時幫白白的牆添加美濃當地的特色及學生的創意。在那面牆被美化的同時，來自美濃的 Sean ‘23 在另一個角落克服緊張的心情接受各式電視、新聞台的採訪。

On Tuesday, I attended a virtual conference upon invitation by V Taiwan and learned about service learning and non-profit organizations in the context of Taiwan. It was a great learning experience for me, and I felt affirmed to hear that KAS is already on board with the general trend of academics, NGO CEOs, and other leaders of service in Taiwan. I look forward to more opportunities to develop my own skills to bring KAS students the most forward-looking perspectives and visions in our service learning initiatives.

這週二，我參加了 V Taiwan 主辦的「臺灣志工 +20」國際論壇，從中更認識臺灣志工團及服務學習的理念，瓶頸，及目標。這次的研習不僅是個很棒的學習經驗，也讓我更具體的了解到 KAS 服務學習的發展方向是符合在臺灣學術界，非營利組織，和其他方面的領導者共同擬定的目標及國際志工的趨勢。我很期待在未來的其他研習、論壇、及會議中更努力地加強自己對世界各地服務觀念及計畫的理解，加強自己的能力，將最先進的世界觀及理念帶入 KAS 服務學習計畫。

Last week, V Taiwan invited me and several students to appear on their monthly collaboration with National Education Radio’s show, “Tea Time時光”. KAS students Amelie ‘22, Hiram ‘22, and Janna ‘23 and I were on the air 4:05 - 5:00 PM on November 17, Wednesday, to discuss the service learning program at KAS, students’ own service initiatives, and the trip to Meinong. You can listen to the segment here (the show and website are both in Chinese).

上週，我們獲邀上 V Taiwan 與國立教育廣播電臺的合作節目，「Tea Time時光」。高三的 Amelie 和 Hiram 還有高二的 Janna 與主持人討論 KAS 的服務學習計畫，學生主導的各式服務經驗，還有這次與 V Taiwan 合辦的美濃活動。我們的訪談已在11月17日（這週三）的 4:05-5:00 PM 播出，歡迎大家點選此連結收聽。

We are organizing another service trip with V Taiwan over winter break. I will send an email to all high school students with detailed information and an interest form. I welcome students to email me with any questions or concerns! Please help me encourage students to communicate with me and other adults.

寒假期間，我們將再次與 V Taiwan 合辦服務活動。我會傳 email 給所有 9~12 年級的學生，讓他們知道活動內容及報名方式。歡迎學生 email 我討論任何疑點或想法！請幫我鼓勵學生多與我還有其他大人溝通。

Should I Hire an Agent?

我該找代辦嗎？

It’s not necessary for KAS students and families to hire an outside agent. Your tuition includes professional college counseling services for every student. Students are requested to tell us if they work with an agent so that we can collaborate effectively. Please note: we do not release official transcripts to students or agents -- all transcripts must be sent directly to the university. All student work and writing submitted for college applications must adhere to the KAS Academic Honesty Policy.

找代辦其實對KAS的學生和家長來說不是必需的。您所付的學費已經包含了專業的大學諮商服務，學生若要找代辦也請告知我們，在需要時我們也方便提供協助。請留意：我們不能夠提供正式成績單給學生或代辦 - 所有成績單都需要由我們直接寄到大學。對所有學生申請大學使用的作業或文章，我們都需要尊重個人隱私誠信原則。

IB University Recognition Policies

IB大學認證政策

Information on how the IB Diploma or IB Certificates can earn a student college or university credit can be found on the IBO website and their University Policy Index. The range of credits, scholarship and other benefits awarded to IB Diploma students is broad. In some cases, students can earn a full year worth of college credits if they have successfully completed the full IB Diploma, saving time and money.

Parents, we welcome you to come to talk with us anytime about your student. Please request an appointment by email so that we can notify security to allow you as a visitor to campus.
我們歡迎各位家長來和我們聊聊孩子的事，請以email和我們約時間，方可事前通知大門警衛進入學校。
