Parents’ Info Update

Dear Parents:

Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) conducted an

unannounced visit to our school sometimes end April 2010. Our efforts at
providing a clean and safe child care environment for each and every child in our
school was commended.

We have you, our parents, to thank for!

We will continue the safe, health and hygiene practices as recommended by

MOH, MCYS and trust you will do the same at home (please refer to our previous
Trumpets).

CHILDREN ARE OUR SHARED RESPONSIBILITY –

LET’S PLAY YOUR PART TO PROTECT THEM!

Enrolment :
Glücklich Schoolhouse is very pleased to have Ares who joined us in
April 2010. Ares is with Toddlers class (Rabbit) settled very well within
his first few days in school. We wish he continues to spend the best of
his time here with us.

Glucklich New Staff Members:

Please join us extend a very warm welcome new staff members to
Glucklich Schoolhouse family. Teachers Dawn and Hani recently joined
us in May 2010.

Teacher Dawn, who is also our Principal, will head and manage our school’s
Curriculum Division. She is also the teacher-in-charge for Kindergarten 2
class (Elephant) with immediate effect. As a very experienced educator,
she will help our K2 children to better prepare for Primary 1 education.

Teacher Han, will be the teacher-in-charge for the children in Nursery 1

and 2 classes. She is also an experienced teacher and has exciting plans
to teach science to our young children.

We look forward to formally introduce them to you during our next PTM,
but in the meantime, you can meet them at school (when you send / fetch
your child) .

Annual Parents-Teachers’ Meeting:

1st PTM 2010 – 25 to 27 May 2010:
We are conducting our Parents-Teachers’ Meeting (PTM) ahead than
planned, this time.

The objective of this PTM, is to allow parents to clearly view the results
of the children’s learning exposure and hopefully, better understand the
purpose of a given care and curriculum/play. Thus, this PTM is applicable
for children who have been with the school before February 2010. Please
understand that we need adequate time to be with the children for
proper observation and feedback.

Please return the Pre-PTM Parents’ Feedback Form to the teachers by

Thursday, 20 May 2010, to allow the teachers to identify the issues you
wish to discuss during the PTM.

There will be the usual “one to one” parents and teachers’ meetings and a
“mass” meeting for parents to K2 children only, similar to the one
conducted in June 2009.

The “one to one” meetings will be conducted over three days from
Tuesday, 25 May through Thursday, 27 May 2010. Please contact us (via
email or call or SMS at our school’s mobile phone 82233784) to book your
preferred meeting time for the PTM. The timings are as follows:
