The link below should help. Please follow. :-)

Welcome Back!

Dear Parents of 6-6 (Respect),

It's great to see familiar faces! To the new faces, welcome to 6-6, and I trust we'll enjoy a great partnership come 2017.

This blog will function as a more accessible way for the dissemination of information, as the Asknlearn class blog accessible by your child may not be readily accessible by you. That said, do realise that with accessibility comes greater exposure, and as such, do remember to post responsibly. :) 

Here's a short and non-exhaustive list of information available on this blog:


  • Homework! (Yuck) - Posted on a daily basis, so no excuses for errant students. Heh heh heh...
  • Important Announcements - Copies of school notifications will (likely) be posted online in addition to the hardcopy distributed to your child.
  • Commendations - It's good to share the good! Rest assured, I won't share the bad. :)
  • Random musings and pictures.
  • Communication channel - This is on top of the usual channels you may utilize to reach me.
  • Other channels of communication include my mobile, and of course, email. Some parents have reached out to me via Whatsapp and I have no problems with that. Feel free to clarify questions, or just chat. :D For email, I'm usually able to reply within the day, but please do not panic if I don't. If it's urgent, it's best if you text or call me. 


To the parents who have been so supportive in 2016, thank you and for my sake, please continue to do so! I hope to get to know all of you better come 2017.



Introduction

Greetings parents and students!

It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to our class blog.

While communication is key, it is not the sole purpose of this blog.

On it, you will find updates on homework and school (typically boring, but important stuff), and random musings of a teacher very much in tune with his inner clown.

Education is as much fun, as it takes effort.

So in education, make the effort to have fun, and let's learn together!


Very cheesy, I know...
