      I so KS that I went Bibi and baba to buy extra uniform for DS so that now he has exactly one set of uniform for each day of the week so that no need to worry about laundry when he starts boarding next term... :rotflmao: :rotflmao:


      Am I the only KS mother who is like that???? 😆

      Not the only one.

      My boy has a classmate who has 5 sets of uniform- to be brought back home for washing once a week. He does not wash nor send for sch free laundry svc.


      Should send for the free laundry service... or else so wasted.

          The children WILL BE briefed on how to handle the laundry, how to label, which days/timing for pickup/send-back. All washed and pressed.

          My boy doesn't send his underwear. (I'm imagining girls sending their innerwears - will be mishapened or not?).

Instead, there are washing machines and dryers in the pantries for us to use, where it is $1 for every use of either machine. 😄

                  When I boarded last year I used to share the costs of the washing machine with my friends. I didn’t trust the laundry service because on the third day of boarding (the first day that laundry came back) my roommate lost 2 whole bags of clothes. At the end of boarding she had lost a total of 7 bags of laundry. I heard her parents were so pissed with having to replace all the clothes and having them get lost again. My friend reported to boarding office a lot of times.

                    Rightfully all clothes are to be labelled on the inside. Maybe the ink was not strong enough to withstand the washing.

                    My boy had 1 bag misplaced this round. Thankfully, it was found.

                      I only know no small garment allowed to send for free laundry svc.

                      The first day of reporting, there are boarding officers advising the students the procedures.
