GRADE : KG 1 WEEK: 5th April – 7th April, 2016

Weekend Communique

“A, B, C, D, E, F, Gee!!” This has been the refrain ringing in the halls of KG

1 since the children have joined. What a lot of fun we had in our first two

days! The children were warmly welcomed on 6th April – their first official

day of school.

A whole array of activities were lined up for the little ones to dive straight

into. Besides singing rhymes and songs, they made crowns to proudly

wear home.

They were also introduced to classroom routines and simple rules to

enable them to have a safe and secure time in school. They went on a

short school tour where they met the Principal, Vice-Principal and the

Head of Kindergarten. This was planned to help them get familiar with

their home away from home. They received stars and lollipops as

motivation for settling down so well on their first day of school.

Please note this reminder from STS - you need to inform the STS

representatives at school in case of area/location change, minimum 2

days prior. This is for STS to ensure that your child arrives at the new

address safe and sound. For this purpose, please route the requests

through the STS representatives and not the drivers or conductors. Also, if

you intend to collect your child early, a request for early dispersal must

reach the school by 10.00am.

We look forward to working with you for the benefit of your child, for it is

only with your co-operation that we can provide the very best

educational experience. Together, let’s pledge to work through

challenges towards achievements that we can excitedly share in. Here’s

looking forward to many more happy times ahead.
