put together all the recommended
work books that your child would need
for the whole academic year for you
to review and purchase. Also on sale
will be Abacus kits, Lap Top computers, Novels and other interesting
books from various publishers and
writers.
All parents should try and make it to
the fair.
This is also an opportune time for
parents to meet the new teachers of
their kids and have healthy interactions, that we hope in the long run will
be beneficial to the total upbringing
of our cherished little ones.
The man who in himself can read,
that man, I say, is wise indeed.

Online access of report cards
It has come to the notice of Administration that a lot more parents are
still not taking advantage of the
online access to their wards reports.
The idea of the program was to have
reports on demand for parents.
As a quick reminder, if you still haven’t checked last terms report or subsequent report cards, these should all
be still available. AGS has sent you

letters on the modalities of accessing
Your ward’s report on the internet.
Just follow the order of instructions.
We entreat all new parents who still
don't have their ward’s ID, to contact
Uncle Xornam of the IT Department
For assistance. In case you need a
hard copy of report on your ward,
don't hesitate to alert us.
AGS ! The pacesetters .
