PTA's letter to parents for Teachers' Day

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Warm greetings from the Nanyang Primary School Parent-Teacher Association (NYPS-PTA)! 

Teachers' Day celebrations – appeal for monetary donations

We had sent out our appeal via SNAC two weeks ago, and we are very grateful that many of you signed up to volunteer or to donate desserts. Thank you very much! 

However, we received feedback that some parents did not know that we were also looking for monetary contributions. 

The NYPS-PTA organises the Teachers' Day celebration lunch every year. This year, it is on Wednesday 31 August 2016 at 2pm in the school hall. We are expecting to host around 280 teachers, staff, retired teachers and coaches. The Teachers' Day Sub-Committee has planned a delicious nonya buffet and an interesting and practical door gift. The theme this year is retro, so there will be other activities and small touches to celebrate our hardworking and dedicated teachers. 

We are appealing for you to give a monetary donation as we are still short of the funds needed for the event. 

Please make your cheque payable to Nanyang Primary School Parent-Teacher Association. On the back of the cheque, please indicate "Teachers' Day Celebration", as well as your child's name, class, and your contact number. Please place the cheque in the PTA letterbox in the General Office as soon as possible.

As you know from the NYPS-PTA financial statements we send out every year prior to the Annual General Meeting in April, we spend a quarter of our income on staff welfare, the bulk of it on the Teachers' Day lunch. About 60% of our income goes towards organizing activities for the students: P1 Orientation, Chinese New Year goodies tasting, Floral Harmony, Mid-Autumn festival and Children's Day etc. 

Any extra funds we receive would go towards organising these activities. Please email any questions to events@nypspta.com.

We thank you in advance for your generous support!

Yours sincerely,

NYPS-PTA Executive Committee 2015-7

Info to Parents: Drop-Off Zones within KRC during Rainy Days

Dear Parents/Gaurdians,

 

The school will open our covered car park to facilitate the traffic flow of morning arrivals at KRC during rainy days. This is an additional drop-off zone other than the 2 zones located at the covered link walk and at the Meeting Point.

 

Please see the attached plan on the 3 drop-off zones within KRC during rainy days.

 

We would like to highlight the control of traffic flow during rainy days as following:

 

a. Vehicles entering Gate A will first be directed to the Meeting Point for drop-off.

 

b. When the car queue at the Meeting Point has reached the zebra crossing, vehicles will then be directed into the covered car park for drop-off.

 

c. When the queue of vehicles inside the covered car park has extended out onto the driveway, parents could then drop-off their child along the covered link walk.

 

d. Vehicles which have already done the drop-off at the covered link walk are requested to switch on their right signal light, so that our staff on duty at the car park entrance will direct you to exit the school.

 

We will deploy more staff on duty to assist your child alighting at the 3 drop-off zones.  We seek your co-operation and follow the instruction of our staff when they direct you to either one of the zones to drop-off your child.

 

Thank you for your continued support and partnership to make NYPS a safe environment for our children.

 

Mr William Woo

Operations Manager
