      Do we need to bring our kid there during the purchase of the textbooks and uniform day? Tot she might need to try out the uniform to decide on the size needed…

        think it will be a good idea to bring the kids on that day so they can try out the uniform...I have not gotten the chance to check out the prices of textbooks at Popular....most of the books available there except the books for the English subject.

          Yeah, it's a good idea to get the kids while buying the uniforms. I plan to get mine too....now have to decide whether to do on 23 or 24.

            was at Popular in plaza…most of the pri 1 books are out of stocks…heard that could be coming in these few days…realize they don’t have the English course books there…I’m not sure if they will bring it in…

            only compare the chinese course book 1 and activity book 1, no stock for the rest. Prices are the same but Popular did say they offer 5% for textbooks…

              For English it is because BPPS also uses the STELLAR program, where from what I understand, you don't need textbooks.


              I think in this situation, maybe better to get it from the school itself. So when do you plan to go?

                    What about around 4 - 430 pm on Friday? I'll take time out from work and come there.


                    I think we should be able to buy the thumb drive and ear phones from outside, it may be cheaper.

                      good idea...just remembered my son's class end at 4.30...will bring him over immediately after school....what do you think? I also thought of getting those IT stuff outside...I've the challenger card so might be able to get it cheaper...just have to take note of the brand they are selling if we want to get the same....is it a hassle for you to get time off? I can check with hubby if he want to go on sat instead....

                        No friday should be fine with me. Sat the kids have their Hindi class till 1 pm. You get your son and I'll get my kids also. So can finish the uniform too. We should check if they need the same brand for the IT stuff. As far as I know it should not be a problem.


                        After this, I'll take them to their kumon class also and then we can finish that also early.:D
