Freshmen are invited to attend an orientation on August 15, 2023, to kickstart the school year. Apart from receiving their class schedules, students will have a chance to meet their teachers and classmates. It is advisable that students bring their personal laptops or electronic devices to enter their passwords and other necessary details.
During the orientation, there are activities available to assist new parents in understanding the procedures at MLWGS, as well as the opportunity to connect with staff and current parent leaders. If you are driving, please park in the lower student lot, which can be accessed through Lombardy Street.
We will continue to offer an online fee payment option that has a user-friendly process. You may start paying school fees online with no convenience fee beginning August 9th. See the footer of our home page (http://mlwgs.com) and look for “Pay Fees Online.” If you prefer to pay by check, you may have your student bring the enclosed fee sheet and a check to the school’s bookkeeper in the main office on the 2nd floor.
Students are advised to bring their own laptops for technology sessions. However, for those who don’t have personal devices, school laptops will be provided during Freshman Orientation.
