Parents' Survival Guide

A. Parenting

These pages are intended as a survival kit for the parents. Accompanying pages provide detailed guidance. Here are the simple rules:

1. Your ward’s attendance is your responsibility (not your child’s, not the school’s).

2. Put your children to bed early. Preschoolers should go to bed at 8.

3. Please pack their bags the night before.

4. Please read circulars and diary; sign the diary every day.

5. Please teach your children yourself, do not send them for tuitions.

6. Preschoolers should bring snacks according to plan.

7. Please send your wards to school in clean uniforms.

8. Talk to your children!

B. Parent-Teacher Meetings

1. A teacher may request a parent-teacher meeting by sending a Meeting Request in the student’s diary. Teachers of grades 7 and above will hand an envelope to the student.

2. Parents wishing for a parent-teacher meeting may do so through an application in writing or a note in the diary.

3. The meeting may be cancelled through a note in the diary upon a 24 hour before the meeting. They may not be cancelled through a phone call at the reception. Teachers in the classroom may not be

disturbed with messages while teaching. 

Parents calling for meeting requests will be asked to follow point 1 above.

4. The teacher will take the student with him for the meeting and will wait in the conference room for 5 minutes beyond meeting time. If the parent does not arrive until then, she may leave her station; however, the student may only return to the class at the next bell.

5. Parents can meet teachers by appointment at the following times:

1. preschool (Playgroup to Kindergarten): 12.40  to 13.20 

2. Elementary School (Grade 1 & 2): Mondays 13.20 to 14.00

3. Middle and Senior School: Mondays 13.20 to 14.00.

4. Teachers are busy in their classrooms. They are unable to meet parents without appointments. 

·         Parents' may borrow exercise books of the class-fellows of their wards for copying their work. They must approach the school before 11 on a school day to borrow the exercise books and must

         return these the same day before home time. 

Parents can meet the management staff by prior appointment on Mondays between 8.10 am and 12.40 pm; or, by prior appointment, on any day after 2.30 pm.
