Dear parents,
Welcome to a new year at Hui Xin campus!
On behalf of all teachers and staff I would like to wish you and your little ones a fantastic return to or start at Newton Kindergarten! We have an exciting year coming up! With new and fun features such as swimming program for N, K1 & K2 students (and a new baby-swimming enrichment offer for PN families), more music/piano lessons for K1 & K2 and a brand new play-castle in the plaza area for free play.
I hope all of you had a wonderful summer with lots of great memories to share and I want to thank so many of you for joining Saturday's "Meet & Greet", helping us to ensure a smooth start for your children. I look forward to get to know new families and students even better as well as catch up with returning families these first weeks.
Throughout the remaining weeks of August, new kindergarten students will be taught practical class-room awareness and self-help skills by both their English and Chinese teachers in order for them to have a smooth start. There will be music and games aimed at building social skills as well as activities with the teachers in regards to the kindergarten life, hygiene, routines and rules of the class-room. Returning and older kindergarten students will review important skills from last semester, prepare new daily routines and class-agreements in advance of the 1st curriculum theme "Friends & School".
Please find practical information below:
- This week Ms. Cindy (admissions-hxj@internewton.com head of admissions & enrichments) will notify you regarding enrichment offerings and how to sign-up. Enrichment lessons will begin from 1st week of September.
Furthermore If your phone-number, address or authorized persons details have change, please inform Ms. Cindy.
- Head of transportation Ms. Hazel (transportation-hxj@internewton.com) kindly urges all parents to read the school bus handbook as found online www.internewton.com/hxj - information section - school documents.
Remember to inform the school 1 day in advance if your child will not take school bus in the morning and before 14:00 in the afternoon if your child will not take school bus in the afternoon, due to pick-up at campus.
For parents who drive their children to school, please avoid rush period between 8:40 - 9:00, where parking can be difficult and remember that parking is only permitted for short drop-off's/pick-up's 5-10 minutes max.
- Due to the government's recent public holiday planning, the 1st semester calendar has been updated to observe one day closure on September 3rd for the national "Remembrance Day".
- Class-meetings will be arranged from September 14th-30th. On the class-meetings your teachers will inform you of how the beginning of the school year has progressed, how you can cooperate at home and coming events of particular importance. Please await further notice on your child's exact date & time.
Have a great kindergarten start!
Sincerely,
Anders Sjoegaard Christensen
