Dear ECE & Primary Teachers,

Every Year the Parent Organisation Pudong (POP) helps to organise the Giving Tree, where we collect and distribute donations to chosen charities. A parent email was sent out on Friday afternoon, giving details of the items that they should bring in and which charities they are going to. They are being asked to bring them in next Wednesday or Thursday.

This year, there are certain logistical challenges with regards to the collection of the items, due to parents not being able to enter the campus. Therefore, for this year, each year level will be given boxes for the items to be placed. Whilst there is not an expectation to take the items to the Christmas tree, please feel free to take a photo of your class/year level with all the items.

The main action items for teachers are as follows:

For ECE Classes

• Please click on the link below to find out more information regarding the chosen charity for your year level, and the list of items that they should bring in (all items should remain unwrapped).
• Please discuss this with your students to ensure they know what to bring in – please refer to the parent email that was sent out on Friday.
• Children to place items in a box located in/outside their classrooms (boxes will arrive by Tuesday)
• Take a class photo and add to Seesaw
• Once the photo has been taken, please ask children to pick up the item (any one will do), and place it in the relevant box in the ECE Library area

Dear all,

Coming to the end of the year, there are always a lot of tasks/jobs to complete. To aid you in this process, we have created a checklist. Please click on the following link and read through carefully. I realise that the list is quite lengthy, but hopefully it will be very helpful when packing up. Team Leaders –  please run through this list with your team to ensure all team members are aware of what needs to be completed.

• ECE End-of-Year-Task-checklist-2019
• Primary End-of-Year-Task-checklist-2019

One of the main tasks is to pack up your classroom. Please see the Staff List, Room Usage documents and Moving Plan to find out where your classroom will be next year.

• Furniture Movement Plan – June 2019
• RP Room Number and Use 2019-2020
• CP Room Number and Use 2019-20
• SH-PD-Staff-List-2019-20

Please take note of the following important points:

• The K4s classrooms will be on the ground floor of the ‘Primary’ Building (where the current Y2s are)
• Due to this move, we will move away from the terminology of ECE and Primary Buildings. We will now call then A Building (currently ECE) and B Building (Currently Primary).
• All student desks and chairs in Primary will move with the class, so please label them with the ‘new’ classroom number – see room usage document.
• Year 5 classes will need to ensure that their labels clearly state CP. Would be good if the labels are printed on different colored paper for CP
• Shelving will stay in the current classrooms. The only difference is that the Y2s will label their shelving as ‘storage’ – as the K4s will bring their own shelves.

Due to the number of teachers that will be moving classrooms, it is extremely important to ensure that everything is correctly labelled, including all boxes, desks, chairs, furniture etc…

Boxes and tape are available in the ERC, and you may collect up to 6 per classroom at first…you may collect more afterwards if necessary. Please print the following bilingual label:

Label

Please do not start packing up your room until Wednesday 26th June, in the last week (after all class parties have been finished).

Please note that all rooms will be painted and floors will be polished, so all resources will need to be boxed up.

For Primary – if there are items in your classroom that needs to be fixed, please email Hayes directly. If you would like to replace/purchase anything (e.g. whiteboard), please fill in a  purchase requisition form, and place on Rob’s desk.

For ECE – please see Coordinators for any matters arising

If you have any questions, then please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks,

Rob
