Parents will be able to visit the classrooms of yr child after Principal’s speech. That is the time where u can meet &amp; chat with other parents of yr child’s classmates &amp; make exchanges of contacts. Yr 1 u usually don’t get other parents contact unless u know some alumni parents of ACS family.<br /><br />We started our Yr 1 parents’ chtgrp with some parents who knew each other fr ACS sch &amp; we added those we met at PTM &amp; frds rope their neighbor’s, kid’s cousins etc.<br /><br />There is no difference whether a child comes fr the ACS family schools or other Methodist schools or neighborhood schools,  as all the boys will make frds &amp; learn to motivate &amp; compete with each other in sports to excel. You don’t hv to worry abt what books they need or how they spend their time as they’ll hv to be fully engaged in 2 CCAs, which actually gave me peace of mind theyre spend time fruitfully in the safety of school grounds.<p></p>]]></description><link>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2123706</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2123706</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Estéema]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 26 Nov 2023 13:04:44 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) on Sun, 26 Nov 2023 04:48:27 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p></p><blockquote><b>zac's mum\" post_id=\"2123582\" time=\"1700916400\" user_id=\"53606:</b>[quote=\"zac's mum\" post_id=2123582 time=1700916400 user_id=53606]<br />So far I’ve only encountered one donation request earlier this year in ACSB.

Please take note of the following important information:<br /><br />Your child should have received an information sheet about the photo orders, which was distributed earlier. If you haven't placed an order, or if you didn't receive the information sheet or no longer have access to it, please email custcare@adamphoto.com.sg including the school name, your child/ward's statutory name, and class details, and the vendor will promptly provide you with an online copy.<br /><br />The gallery will be closing soon, and after that, access to the photos will no longer be available.
