I think they started to drive off from school is very late 6.45 & queue up for each bus to go off...
My hubby said some bus went all the way to Jurong I don't know if its true
Teachers will help to keep the children books that is why we have to bring all the required books there in 3 days
Yesterday the school was very strict, banned all parents to get near the P1 even canteen also cannot see them, I find like army camp so strict

Parents, for the issue of bringing of books and files to school for P1, first few days is always like that. I had my fair share of worries and headaches last year too when comes to packing and labeling. If you find really too heavy for your kids, spread the things and bring it over a few days. That’s what I did, no choice as I don’t want overwhelm my child then.
Regarding the school bus issues, always good to feedback to the bus coordinator and see what she could do. There were alot of hiccups on the picking up and dropping off points that needed to be fine-tuned.
This year my gal in P2. 1st day bus late for 30mins and made the students on the bus late for school. Bus company did not give any reasons for being late even, not to mention the bus auntie with a real attitude problem. Called the bus coordinator while waiting for the bus and hp was turned off. Then on return trip, bus has no auntie at all. Then this morning, bus drove off while the students were standing looking for seats (no sure these students, including my child found a seat at all), then plus the bus auntie shouting at these poor kids… Haiz… really no eyes to see! I most worry about the safety issue… -

verykiasu, yes, you are right, for pm session, bus starts about 6.45pm. Cos younger kids, they more careful, will do proper headcount and make sure students are in the correct bus...I stayed at Tiong Bahru area reached home also 7.05pm like that...

sounds scary, I think the bus company is nt v reliable
we waited 30mins for the school bus on ist day as well & was told the kids at the front stops delayed…and I think they don’t really bother if the kids buckle up…my boy has been on school bus since N1 most of the bus assistant will make sure kids are seated and buckled properly before moving off… -
Verykiasu, yes, very scary n worrying. I told the bus coordinator to investigate n reply to me what happened. Otherwise next week I will shoot to principal directly.

But I still don’t understand why make the kids to wait at the main road when there is a sheltered driveway. They said because the driveway is always blocked by other cars and this will affect the bus to be on time.
I told them bullshit! There are other buses from other schools that drives into the driveway and they had no problems.
I think that they are just lazy. -
Pirahna, they are just finding excuses. Your situation applied to mine last year. Initially they bus driver n auntie refused to turn to sheltered waterway because they are plain lazy, siting reasons same as yours. After a few disagreement, they finally gave in and turn in. But they firmly told me this year no more turning in as am session is a big bus, hard to turn. Rubbish to me again as I saw many big school buses fm other primary schools also turn every morning. Anyway, since that's their practice for am session for my area, I didn't argue back.
This year, I no choice but to wait at the main road rain or shine.
I am waiting for the year my child is ready to come home on her own and sack this school bus co. :spank: -
Hi parents, my gal is in p1 honesty. Is there anyway that I can be in contact with parents of the same class?
-
Chocpockie, I wonder does the school knows about the service the transport company provides especially the safety aspects. They are imposing or increasing safety risks by asking the children to wait at the main road.

Hi Parents
My P1 DD is suppose to bring 4 colours files for English, math, and mother tongue. Then there is a ring file for holistic portfolio. Is it the orange one whereby there is a few tabs labelled the different subjects or the blue ring file with nothing in it?
