Mum_sugoku, I was planning to be a little kiasu and ask parents based on their past experience how is this conducted. Then I can at least see if need half / full day leave or need to plan leave later only with teacher's timing.Pen88n:
I saw there is a parent teacher meeting in May. Can someone please advise how is this conducted - we book teacher's time or teachers allocate timing to us or teacher only see those they need to see or ??? Just want to know early so that can plan leave. Thanks.
According to the latest newsletter to parents, the school will only be issuing the PTM notification letter, as well as instructions on booking appointment slots \"at a later date\".. -

( oh yes, i recalled that we parents, here, were complaining why must we pay for the PTM,
and the refreshments offered were :slapshead: lol)
U would be sitting with the FT on the same table.
There was no time allocation to meet diff subj teachers,
U would need to move fr 1 table to another, if u wanna to meet and talk to the subj Ts,
T's names were clearly displayed on each table.
And yes, it was a saturday's afternoon.......provided there is no change. -

Thanks, Augmum :hugs: . You are the best, always patiently answering we newbies DHS parents' questions :snuggles: !During my gal's yr, there was a Tea session held on the PTM day.

Like that I must get my DS to give me list of subject teachers, then scrutinised the tables to look for teachers :idea: ! Ok, seems like afternoon leave is enough
So, the teachers do not have a list of \"must meet\" parents - those that they want to see to highlight student's \"inadequacies\" :evil: Moreover, it is so open (not one-to-one) so when teacher communicate to parents, all other parents can hear since they are sitting around the table?
Must tell DS he better be good and do ok, else everyone is going to know about his reputation! :rotflmao:

You may sit with the FT/co-FT/subject teacher, it depends on the parents’ responses from that class. If all the parents from a class turn up for the PTM, then you may sit with co-FT/subject T. Parents’ with kids from the same class will sit together but some will ‘overflow’ to the next class if more than 2 tables are needed for that class…
Yes, it was very "open" few years ago, the teacher will just "announce" the grade and give comments in front of a group of parents …
The list of subject teachers together with contact will be given before the meeting.
