St Teresa's Kindergarten operates for 10 months of the year – from September to June. The school is closed for all government-listed public holidays. A holiday list is given to all parents at the start of the academic year.

One month's notice is required if you withdraw your child from St Teresa's Kindergarten. The withdrawal notice should be given in writing to the Principal. In lieu of such notice, one month's fee will be charged.

Children should be neatly dressed in comfortable and suitable clothes and shoes, without too many buttons, belts and buckles. A spare set of clothing and underwear should be sent in case of a toilet mishap.

It is advisable to label all coats, jackets and school bags to prevent a child taking home the wrong item.

Do not send any toys to school unless advised by the class teacher.

Every two weeks you will be sent some of the work that your child has done. Please return the plastic folder to school the following Monday.

It is important that you inform the Principal in writing when your child is absent either due to sickness or away on holiday. You may also fax the message on 2899 0272.

It is advisable to inform the school if your child needs special attention or if he/she is allergic to any medicine or food.

If your child is sick, do be considerate and ensure that he/she has completely recovered and is past the infectious period prior to sending him/her to school. A doctor's certificate is needed if the child has suffered from any infection, such as mumps, chicken pox, measles, etc.

In case of an absolute emergency, when neither parent can be contacted, a member of our staff will accompany the child to the Emergency Unit of the Hong Kong Adventist Hospital in Stubbs Road.

The Education Department has stated that all kindergartens are to close when the No. 3 typhoon signal is hoisted and also in the event of heavy rainstorms. The school will close when:

• Red rainstorm warning is in force
• Black rainstorm warning is in force
• Typhoon signal No. 3 is hoisted

Birthday parties can be held during school hours only. If you intend to celebrate your child's birthday at school, it is best to inform the class teacher at least a week in advance.

We encourage you to make an appointment with the class teacher to discuss your child's progress, or any school-related problems. Parents are requested not to discuss such matters with the teacher while the class is in progress.

Do notify the school if your family has moved to a new address. It would help us contact you in an emergency.

The school will organize school outings periodically. Letters will be sent home with details of the planned excursion. Parents are welcome to assist and join us on these outings. However, such trips will be cancelled at short notice should there be a change in the weather.

The school will hold two meetings per year. During the first "You Tell Us" session, we want you to tell the class teacher about your child's development and progress at school. At the second session (in June), a written evaluation of your child's progress will be given to you by the school.

Do check the notice board for school-related information that we put up regularly.
