Communication

These are the key ways we communicate with our families. Please make sure that you connect with these various channels so that you can best support your child in their learning journey:

Facebook Page (click here) - a space where we celebrate all that is happening in the Nexus community.

Parent Zone (click here) - a one-stop source to find all the key information you need about life at Nexus. For example, you can view the school calendar and find out more about our CCA, Music and Sport programmes.

SeeSaw App - we offer a ‘window into the classroom’ via the SeeSaw App. This is the regular ongoing communication method we will use to share news and home learning from your child's class. If you need some help to set up the app, please email our IT team.

Every class in our Primary School has a WhatsApp Group. These groups will allow you to build friendships between families in each class. For further information on the WhatsApp Groups, please see below.

We also have these fortnightly Newsletters. They are a crucial part of our communication with our whole community. It is where we include information about any upcoming events, our recent happenings and also any important notices. The different sections can be accessed from the menu across the top of the screen (on large screens such as laptops and iPads) or the 'triple bar' icon on the top left (on small screens, e.g. phones).

Every class in our Primary School has a WhatsApp Group. We are a school that prides itself on our strong community relationships and these WhatsApp Groups will allow you to build friendships between families in each class.

What these WhatsApp Groups are:

• A place for families to come together to arrange social activities (e.g. parties, play dates, coffee mornings and evening drinks)

• A place for occasional reminders (e.g. remembering Dress Up Days!)

What these WhatsApp Groups aren't:

• A school communication channel (we will continue to share all school information via the fortnightly Newsletters, school emails and our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/NexusSchoolSG/) - please do make sure you read these to find out all that is going on in school

• A place for discussing individual learners

• A place to raise issues (we welcome all feedback and encourage you to contact us directly with any concerns you have so that we can help to resolve them)

We are delighted that a large group of parents have agreed to help to administer these WhatsApp Groups. The Singapore Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) does not allow us to share your personal information with them so we are not able to automatically add you to the appropriate WhatsApp Group. Instead, you can message these parents so that they can add you to the group.

If you would like to join this informal class group, please contact Learner Services (learnerservices@nexus.edu.sg) and they will be able to provide your WhatsApp group administrator's details. Simply send a text to the administrator with the following information:

• Your name (first name and family name)

• Your child's name (first name and family name)

• Your mobile phone number

If you have children in different classes, please text the administrator of each class.

Once again, thanks to all the parents for supporting our school community. We are sure that you will find this informal social network very valuable throughout the year.
