Hi,


I’m a new parent of TGPS. This morning my DS and I went for the P1 orientation. After we came back, then I realised I did not order any name tags. Is there any parent here know whether I have missed out anything? Or when shall I order the name tags? Thank you

Hi Isaliz,


Welcome to the club. I don’t think you need to order name tags. I did not order when my DS was P1. When we went to buy the uniforms, the name tags were ready for us to purchase. We bought the uniforms and books during the last week of December. It seems they have prepared it for all kids. So you don’t have to worry.

Hi rejoice137,


Thank you for your reply. We’ve already purchased the uniform yesterday, but the uniform provider never mention about the name tags.(and I forgot to ask about it) So don’t know whether wait until the school open then my DS will receive the name tags from the school?

Hi Isaliz,


May be the name tags were not ready yet. You can go there again in Dec to make the purchase. Your DS will need to wear his uniform with his name tags sew on the first day as most kids will have that. That will make him more at home when he is the same as the rest of kids. I am sure they will have the name tags ready by before school starts. If not, you can call up the uniform provider (in the information you received from the school) to see when you can purchase them.

Hi Isaliz,


Welcome onboard to TGPS forum and your DS to the TGPS family.

From my 2 children experienced, the uniform vendor will usually have the name tag when the P1 parents purchased the school uniforms. AS suggested by Rejoice, you can either go back to the uniform vendor and check with them on this or call the vendor to make the enruiry.

All the best and wishing you a happy holiday !!

cheers,

Hi Isaliz,


Like you, we were not informed about the name tags when we purchased the uniforms too. Luckily for this forum, otherwise we would never have known. Guess we just have to return and buy it next month. I will also update this forum if I happen to get it.

Hi francoise,


I met my mum’s fren whose grandson also going to TGPS next year. She told me she has purchased the name tags on the orientation day. But the stall was at one corner and we did not notice it. So yes, we need to go back and buy. It was so confused.

Anyone here has children taking the school bus?

Hello all,


Happy New Year. Can’t believe the holiday is going to be over soon. Hope everyone is ready for the new school year.

Hi Ivy, my DS took school bus back from school this year. Will let him take school bus back from school again next year. We stay in Bishan area. So most days my DS only reached home around 1:40pm daily this year. With a new bus vendor next year and new school hour, I also wonder what time my DS will reach home next year.

Hi Astee, do you know what DS need to bring to school on the first day of school? The school gave a list of things to bring for P1. Now going to P2, we don’t really know what to bring on the first day of school. Hope he does not need to bring everything.

Hi Rejoice,


Yes, soon school will reopen and with the new school hours, i believe everyone will be feeling the excitement. I know i will miss my 2 children at lunch as they had been my lunch partners for the last 3 years (my gal) and 1 year (my boy)...sigh. Luckily there is a day of early release and my lunchtime is more meaningful...

I had packed my DS son P2 bag and i had included all the 2A textbooks and workbooks. Leaving the 2B at home. FT will usually collect all the workbooks on day 1 or 2. No need to pack everything but remember to give extra pocket monies for lunch as well.

Wishing all a very Happy New Year and hope to meet all of you, one day, in 2012 !! :celebrate:

Cheers,
Astee
