Parent Teacher Communication The Primary 3 level teachers have decided to use e-mailing as the main source of communication between teachers and parents. A list of teacher E-mail addresses has been sent out already to the parents. We will attend to your queries and concerns as promptly as possible.

Also, if you have any concerns regarding specific subject areas, it would be appreciated if you could e-mail the subject teacher directly and also carbon copy (cc) the homeroom teachers. This is in order to speed up communication process and avoid confusions between teachers and parents.
