It's usually distributed on the first Thursday of the month.

** Puzzled** :? Isn't such communication should be given to parents earlier? Instead of waiting till the stated appointed date to release communication parents? I can't believe that the school is working on JIT practice??? Somehow the school communication is always in the line of fire that is not prompt and always outdated.

Anyway, The school is having 2 sessions of celebration on Friday. (3levels each) but do not know whether the school allows the children to wear Chinese ethnic clothings to add into the celebratory mode?!?! Whether the school still uphold the tradition of students bringing mandarin oranges (like in the past)?!?! Also, whether any classes to be conducted tomorrow??? Anyway n anyhow, i will still ask my DS to bring the m.oranges for his ft n co-ft.

During the previous principal's time, notifications were issued to parents on a weekly basis. Since the arrival of the new principal, it has been changed to monthly basis because the school wanted to be environmental friendly.

Apart from the monthly notification, I believe the school does issue letters to parents as and when any matter requiring immediate action arises. Did your child receive any notification on the SmartCard photo taking session, since this matter wasn't mentioned in January's notification? :scratchhead:

Traditionally, yes.

Based on past years' experience, yes.

There will be no classes for periods where the celebration will be held. You mentioned there would be two sessions for the celebration. So, lessons that are supposed to be conducted when your child goes for the celebration will not be conducted. Other than that, there will be lessons. Your child's teachers should have mentioned whether their lessons will be affected.

One thing for sure is that, your child will definitely receive a donation card by tomorrow. The school won't miss the opportunity to raise as much money as possible.

If the school is real environmental friendly, then they should exercise the option of electronic communication. Not through consolidation into a month! Weird....

No, as the SmartCard photo taking is only applicable to P1. My DS is in P2 this year.


Well my DS reported that the children are allowed to wear traditional chinese clothings but becos tomo there is PAL lesson, the teacher advise to wear PE attire and then change into T.Chinese clothings during/after recess.

qms:

lessons that are supposed to be conducted when your child goes for the celebration will not be conducted.

Well, my DS FT didn't mentioned what time the celebration starts to the kids but I presume the celebration starts around 11am as that's what indicated in ParentLink website.

Haha its the time of the year again, huh? Duck!!!

Well, not everybody has access to the internet and the school must cater to parents who do not use computer, right? So, paper communication is meant for this group of parents.

I wouldn't have any problem accessing the soft copy from the website IF the school had been diligent in uploading the notifications ON TIME. So far, it has not proven to be so. You look at the amount of information available on the website and the website in general. Does it give you the impression that the school is strong in IT? http://i970.photobucket.com/albums/ae190/Miss_Nelly/Emotions/RollingEyesSmiley5.gif\">

That's understandable for these groups of parents who have no access to internet. But they belong to the albeit minor. The school had the real statistics of these group of parents. They are just not tough enough to implement.

Update information on their website? Haha its the joke of the town. Add to the irony, they had won many awards for ICT, but fail to use IT to effectively communicate information to parents. Imagine, when i went to the IT training for parents by mconline, i asked why can't they push information to the parents? Instead they replied that the FT will inform the students to inform the parents? Relying such information via traditional method of word of mouth? So this is so called IT?

I seriously think that the school really need to pull their socks up on this information update on their website.
