My DS brought back one piece of paper as invitation letter. No call. No PG.
Congrats! For those who make it to GEP, do you get to know the good news through parent gateway? -

Thank you for your reply.Shortribs\" post_id=\"2086413\" time=\"1666350273\" user_id=\"193978:[quote=Shortribs post_id=2086413 time=1666350273 user_id=193978]What do you mean by writing homework? Occasionally they need to do Chinese compo corrections, but they only need to do a full rewrite if the original compo was not well-written. I don't think the Chinese homework is excessive in my DS' school.

In your son’s non SAP centre, does the Chinese teacher give them writing homework that requires an hour or more to complete? How about other subjects? Any lengthy homework? Thanks.
No, it is optional. We opted for normal Chinese for my son (non SAP gep centre). However, they take what is known as GEP Chinese which is basically normal Chinese taught at a higher level. E.g. their ting xie list is much more difficult than mainstream Chinese. -

RE: Q&A - P2 English
Q: Some creatures have shells ________ others do not.
A: Why can’t the answer be “but”?
My DS’s teacher told him that it should be “and”. It cannot be “but” because there is no comma in the sentence. We do not quite understand her explanation. Can anyone explain? Thank you. -

My son is in P1 this year. Last year, we received 2 separate letters before January. I believe you have already received the first letter about the admin info. The second letter was sent out in December. It indicated which P1 class and house assigned to my son and as well as his form teachers’ name. When you receive this letter, then you will know what PE tank top colour to buy. You can purchase it in either Bibi & Baba or school bookstore near the canteen.
Thank you so much for the info. I read the letter but somehow missed that part. There was no mention of the house during admin day, except that the class will be assigned later in December.tunge80\" post_id=\"2000120\" time=\"1603528439\" user_id=\"137694:
It’s indicated in letter which was sent to you regarding admin day details. Under the info on uniform. U did admin day already? They should also have highlighted to you. Do read the letter in detail as there are lots of info inside, like giro, smart buddy, books, school bus, etc
But anyhow, really appreciate your reply to my post. -

Thanks 150pieces. I have joined the WhatsApp chat group during the picnic. I am impressed that everything is so well organised. I have friends still struggling in finding parents chat group in other schools.

RE: The Write Connection - Discussion
Hi,
Is there any one interested to form one new holiday Write Away class for P1 (2020 student - currently K2)? Mon to Fri 10am to 12noon starting from 2 December to 6 December 2019. There are 3 interest parties including me. Just need one more to start.
According to them, it will cover writing techniques for 4 pictures compo including compo structure (beginning, body, ending), writing with 5 senses, vocabulary etc. Children need to circle answer instead of spell out words in activity sheet. On the fourth day, they will be guided to write the compo together. You may make enquires at school for more information. -

Hello!
My son is going to ACS Pri, P1, next year. My older daughter's school is pretty far away so I am trying to pre-plan the pick-up route. In the worst case scenario, may need to put one of them on school bus.
Can any of the more experienced parents let me know what the dismissal times? I can't seem to find this information on the school website. Thanks!
My son is also going to ACSP P1 next year. I got the school timing from my friend whose son is studying there.
7.40 to 1.30 Mon to Thurs
Friday ends at 1.55
Here is the updated school hours obtained from the school orientation handbook for year 2020,
Reporting time: Mon to Fri 7.30am
Dismissal time: Mon to Thu 1.30pm

Hi faithj, I have teachers who can mark compositions like this.skyline88\" post_id=\"1911933\" time=\"1558715498\" user_id=\"100587:
[quote=faithj post_id=1910269 time=1557827021 user_id=171285]Hi, I'm wondering if there are any composition marking services (pegged to Singapore PSLE style of marking), where a student writes a compo at home and emails it to a teacher who will grade and mark the compo in detail, with guidance on how can he/she improve in some areas, what and how to elaborate, adding in good phrases/sentences to the compo where necessary, with the intent to allow the student to read, compare, analyse and improve.
If you know any, pls pm me. Thanks!

That post was referring to year 2017. As far as I know, the assembly time changed in 2018 to 8am. Dismissal time is not later by a lot. It seems they have fewer periods for PE but I can’t verify.Thank you for the info. I know that school bus will drop the children off before 7am. I was wondering what will they do for more than one hour in school before it starts.

I saw this post in ACS Primary forum (page 55). Someone wrote reached school by 7.30am. Can someone verify if it should be 7.30am or 8am? If it starts late, I would expect it to end late. But seems the dismissal time is about the same as other school.
Get to school by 730am.
Dismissal times: Mon, Tue and Thu - 1.30pm. Wed - 1.15pm. Fri - 1.55pm -
RE: All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

Thank you for the info
No balloting last year, citizen within 1km all fit in.Betz\" post_id=\"1909384\" time=\"1557338182\" user_id=\"132922:
Will ballot history for 2018 be available? The numbers in the elite website do not have breakdown according to distance. How can I find out if balloting is required for ACS primary within 1km for 2018 under phase 2B? Thanks.

RE: Anglo-Chinese School (Primary)
According to previous posts, my understanding is that GEP students can opt for higher Chinese at primary 4. Is higher Chinese also offered to non-GEP students in primary 4 or even earlier? Are students streamed according to their Chinese proficiency? If so, which year does it take place? There is not much information in the school website. Thanks.
