[/quote]Hi
My DD is in respect too
I agree that only the Chinese teacher smiled when my DH
Made the payment
Out of the other 2 teachers,1 looked extremely stern
My DD is timid too, worried for her
She already experienced unpleasant teacher in k1
I dun want her to dread sch

Finally got the letter today. However, we couldn't make it for the Orientation as the time clashes with my DD Graduation Concert. We will have to go down to the school one of the day next week to make the neccessary payments.

Shree: My DD will be in P1 Respect also!!! [/quote]Hi there

Yes, my gal has a yellow ribbon with attached to a piece of note, stating to put on the ribbon for 2 weeks for teachers to identify them.

It was a pity that the new principal was not there to address us and there were also no Q & A session for us parents.

Hi everyone,

Wow!!! Went away for the weekend and all of you have been so active with your postings. Lots to read.

So sorry to hear that the orientation was so unorganised. I think MCS was more organised last year. From what you guys mentioned, it sounded chaotic this year. :scratchhead:

The principal was not present during orientation as she has some official meeting to attend to, thus the vice Principal welcomed all of you. As for a Q & A session, don't worry....once sch re-opens, maybe in week 3 or 4, there will be a P1 Briefing Session where the P will address you and all parents will get to meet the respective form teachers . They will then give you in-depth info about the curriculum, and house-keeping info. Maybe MCS doesn't want to bombard parents with too much info before sch starts.

The teachers in the classrooms during orientation may not necessary be your DD's form teacher. Those teachers were only there to render assistance to all the the admin procedures. Some form teachers are in their respective classes, some are not. Not to worry, all the P1 form teachers are very nice and very good with kids.

cantbearit2:

eg. no ushers or enough signage to inform parents where to go first, what to do first, whr to leave our child etc.

There were actually 17 prefects on ushering duty on orientation day. I guess it's not sufficient to cover parents of 240 students. However, it's difficult to get all the prefects back as it's officially their sch holidays so some may be away on holidays already. These same prefects were the ones that took care of the P1 gals and took them around the sch for a tour. Maybe more signages would have been great.

Hi autumn82,
Great to hear your DD loves the sch and most importantly, likes her classmates.
