Hello LKVM & all P1 Parents,

How was your P1 Darlings 1st day in school? Care to share your experience here?

For my P3 gal - an \"EXPECTED\" hiccup 1st thing in the morning - the school bus was late (AGAIN! Yes, Again) on the 1st day of school :stupid: It was supposed to come to our pick-up point between 7.20am - 7.30am but it texted all the parents waiting at the bus bay it will be 15 minutes late :shock: . I looked at my gal and she just looked at me with the reply:\"Mummy, see, late again, this year!\" Hahahaha.... :rotflmao: what can I say? We can only wait for the bus which came \"punctually\" 15 minutes later at 7.45a.m.! Needless to say, by the time my gal reached the parade square, the school was already half way thru singing the National Antheum. :nailbite:

The first day was good, but I am very upset with the bus service. I don’t think it’s a good policy to be an hour late to drop off and not at least text message the very nervous and stressed group of parents who are wondering where the heck their kids are. It was handled very poorly.

ExpatMom,
Did you not receive the SMS from Alan Bus Service? I got one in the morning informing 15 minutes late pick up and another one at around 2pm informing 20 minutes late return from school.....Guess being the 1st week and 1st day of school, there will be hiccups here and there. Not to worry - i believe the children are being taken care of in the school bus. Also, if there is anything, you can always call up the school bus officer in-charge.

Btw, Which bus no. your son is in?

I got an SMS at 4:50pm saying the bus would be 20 minutes late. I don't know why they would SMS so late-- I was SMSing people all day with no issues of delay. As for what bus number, I really don't know anymore. His card says bus 3 but the bus that dropped him off yesterday was bus 2.

There is nothing worse than the anxiety of your P1 child's bus being an hour late (the first bus I have ever let him take on his own). I was waiting and worrying at that bus stop for the majority of that hour. I called, and they said the bus would be 20 minutes late. 20 minutes is a lot shorter than an hour.

They really did not handle the first day very well at all.

So overall lovely experience and will be remembered for very long time. :celebrate:

:thankyou: for sharing, LKVM. What a memorable experience for you, dh and your ds1. It's one of those things that you don't forget. Reading your post makes me reminisce of my girls 1st day of sch. :love:

So far I am quite impressed by how organized the school has been. Even though it's the first week, and I am sure the staff has their hands full, they are extremely prompt at answering questions.
