Dear Parents,


May I find out if parents in this school are expected to find out from one another about homework? Is there any kind of e-mail communication line with teachers? Is the teacher <-> parent communication ok? Just prefer to have open communication available as kids can sometimes be a little confused or forgetful. Do your kids have something like a notebook where they have to record upcoming events, tests, homework, etc?

I called up MCS on Friday and was surprised to find out that they do not have an 'Open Day' planned for this year. So, will not be able to get a feel of the school before registration for P1 2012.

Thanks for info.

Hi Gin,

Yes, the gals each have a pupil helpmate where they will write down their hw or anything the teacher need to inform parents about. Alternatively, u can email to the FT for more information.
