We have been kept very busy the last few weeks getting around to and fro the association to get a recommendation letter for Caden's Primary 1 registration. It was a pity that we are not part of the parent volunteering programme for our desired choice although we managed to be included as part of the parent volunteering list. Last year Aug, the school called me up and asked if we can be the evening ushers, and the clock in time starts at 6pm. Ah lou works in Science park and it is almost impossible for me to rush back home by 6pm from PBTP to take up this assignment which is a 4 months commitment. Since it happened during the kick-off period of the annual budget exercise, I wasn't able to get any exemption from boss to leave office by 5pm for a period of 4 months. So we had to give up the opportunity on that assignment.
Thereafter, we did not hear from the school on other requests. I called up consistently to check what are the assignments on hand and they advised that it's only the ushering jobs.. so in Nov/Dec last year, we decided to embark on plan B, which is to seek for a recommendation letter. It took us a long route to find out which association and from whom to help us. Although it is not 80% guaranteed that we will be placed on par with the parent volunteers, it gives us a ray of hope to enrol Caden into our first choice.
We finally settled this issue last weekend. And was glad that now the final lap is to hand over the letter to the school this wednesday morning when we are both on leave.
The registration period is in July this year.. so fingers crossed..
