General Expectations
• What to do when your child is unwell / absent – Call the General Office (GO) or email the form teacher – State the condition and the duration of his/her medical
leave – Submit MC / letter that explains your child’s absence the
next day – For cases of infectious disease (e.g. HFMD, Chicken Pox),
your child should remain at home until the doctor certifies him/her fit
– For National examinations (i.e. PSLE), only an MC is valid and must be accompanied with a doctor’s note indicating that the child is unable to take the PSLE examination (see pg 17 of Diary)
• Healthy snack break
• Every Wednesday – to bring fruits (Fruittie Wednesday)
• Please bring a healthy snack
General Expectations: Healthy Snack Time
School Rules: Punctuality
• Assembly will start at 7.30 am in the hall or the classroom (Wednesdays).
• Pupils who are not in the assembly area at 7.30am will be considered late.
• Persistent latecomers will be issued with a warning letter.
School Rules: Use of Mobile Devices
• Mobile phones must be switched off during school hours.
• Pupils must seek permission of teachers to use phone after school for necessary calls or messages.
• Mobile phones must not be used for playing games or listening to music in school.
• Consequence for misuse of mobile phones – They will be confiscated and parents have to come to school to claim it personally.
Home-School Alignment
• Support your child in his/her education
Show concern by:
- reading and acknowledging all school letters / forms
- ensuring your child checks his/her diary daily
- helping your child prioritize tasks and activities
- setting aside time for work and play
- setting SMART* goals together and helping him/her achieve them
(*Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound)
Home-School Alignment
• Supervise and moderate extreme behaviours of your children, if necessary
Show concern by:
– asking them what they have learnt for the day
– limiting the amount of time spent chatting online, playing on mobile devices or computer games
– reminding them of how to behave online (e.g., social media platforms, whatsapp chatgroups)
Home-School Alignment
• Reinforce good behaviours
- Praise your child when (s)he deserves it
- Praise your child’s effort, rather than his/her ability or achievements. Praising your child’s effort helps to reinforce a good learning attitude.
e.g., “Excellent, I can see that all your hard work is paying off!” (Praise for effort) compared to “Wow, full marks! You are so smart!” (Praise for ability/achievement, which doesn’t do anything much for the child.)
