Dear
Parent/Guardian,
Welcome
back to Endeavour Primary School! I hope you and your child had a fulfilling
and meaningful holiday together. I am Ms Eunice Yeo and I will be teaching your
child English and Science this year. I look forward to working closely with you
to support and enrich the learning experiences of your child in Endeavour.
To
the expectations I have regarding the class, here are some important and useful
information that I would like to share with you.
1.
Homework
Homework
may not be given out for every lesson. Homework can be
given in the form of written work or online assignments in our Learning
Management System via http://www.lead.com.sg/ . When
there is homework, it will be given and written on the class whiteboard. Your child
is expected to write it down in his/her handbook.
Please
ensure that your child completes and hands in the homework to the subject
representatives or group leaders the following day or the day as stated by me.
Similarly, for handouts which require input from parents, please ensure that
the handouts are filled in and sent back to the school the next day, through
your child.
2.
Class
Timetable
A
copy of the class timetable has been given to your child today, 4 Jan 2016
(Monday). Do take note that there might be some changes to the timetable as the
school is trying out this timetable for a week to see its fluidity. I will
update the pupils should there be any changes and they are to update their
timetable accordingly.
3.
Collection
of books
In order to help your child carry a
lighter school bag, I will be collecting the following items the next day, 5th January (Tuesday) and
keeping them in class:

|

and Learning Sheets
|

|
Pupils are not to leave any
textbooks/booklets, completed homework assignments and storybooks under their
desks. However, they are allowed to leave their English dictionary (pupils are
encouraged to have their own copy) under the desk to minimize their heavy bag
load. Electronic dictionaries are not advisable to be left under the desk.
Please ensure that your child’s name, class, subjects and register number are
clearly written on the cover page.
For the first term, we will be covering
the topic on “Systems”, followed by “Cycles” for Science. Please ensure your
child brings the correct textbook for every Science lesson. He/She is expected
to bring home the textbook after every lesson for revision purposes.
4. Parent-Teacher Communication
I will continue to communicate with
you through notes, telephone calls and emails whenever necessary. I’ll send a
weekly email update or whenever possible. Likewise, if you have any concerns
about your child, you may write to me via the Student Handbook, call the school
office (Tel: 64824650) or email
me at yeo_eunice@moe.edu.sg. The school will continue to send out
letters to parents through the students to disseminate important information.
5. Parents Change of Address and Contact Number
Do update me via your child’s handbook
or the pupil’s particular form that I have returned for your verification.
6. Absence from school
I would appreciate if you drop me an
email to inform me of your child’s absence. Your child’s buddy will help to
take note of his/her homework (if any) using the “Absent Work” card. Your child
is to collect the homework when he/she is well enough to go back to school.
Thank you in advance for your
cooperation. I look forward to working together with you in ensuring your
child’s well-being and learning.
Yours sincerely,
Ms Eunice Yeo
Form Teacher of P4F
