Dear Parents/Guardians/Students,
Term 4 Updates
Removal of Day 2 of Script Checking
1. No Change - Day 1 of Script Checking:
Students are to report to school as usual on Monday, 15 Nov. They will follow their current timetable to check their year-end continuous assessment/examination scripts. Please take note that they will have to complete an ART on Sunday, 14 Nov, and submit the results to their form teachers between 3pm and 6 pm.
2. No School – Day 2 of Script Checking Cancelled
Students do not need to report to school on Tuesday, 16 Nov. We would like students to stay at home and minimise interaction in view of the rising numbers of Covid cases in Singapore. Tuesday to Thursday, 16 to 18 Nov, are stipulated no school days reflected in the school calendar.
On Friday, 19 Nov, students will report to school as usual to receive their progress reports and view the annual primary school prize giving and P6 graduation ceremony. Staggered dismissal will start from 10.20am.
Changes in Traffic Rules near SYAS
Please take note of the following changes to the road works and traffic near SYAS from 14 November 2021 onwards:
1. Reverse flow of traffic for Novena Regency from 14 November 2021, 9am onwards. Please refer to the LTA notice on the next page for more information.
2. With the Novena Regency traffic circulation reversed, parents/guardians will no longer be able to turn in towards Novena Regency (at SYAS) to drop off or pick up your child/ward.
3. In addition, part of the road works in front of SYAS will be shifted away from 14 November. Therefore, you can drop off your child/ward along Thomson Road in front of the school. Alternatively, you can pick up and drop off your child/ward along Chancery Lane as well.
4. A gentle reminder to all parents and guardians to be considerate and not park your vehicles along our neighbours’ driveways and obstruct traffic during pick up.
Yours faithfully,
SYAS Administration

ART swab to be performed by all primary school students on 31 Oct and 14 Nov
28 Oct 2021
Dear Primary School Parents/Guardians/Students,
As part of our effort to keep the school a safe environment for learning, we will be emulating MOE's example, requiring all our primary school students to perform an ART swab once every two weeks for the rest of Term 4. All P1 to P6 students are required to perform an ART swab at home on 31 Oct and 14 Nov. Both ART swab dates fall on Sundays. Through this exercise, we hope to instill a strong sense of responsibility in our students to protect themselves and the community. We would like the assistance of parents and guardians to ensure that our students and wards carry out the following:
A.
•Undergo an ART swab at home between 3 and 6pm on Sundays, 31 Oct and 14 Nov. For students who receive a Health Risk Warning (HRW) from MOH, please read point C.
•Take a snapshot of the ART result together with the Student Pass (STP) and send a snapshot to the form teacher.
• Report to school as usual to sit for the year-end examination (P2 to P6 students) or continuous assessment (P1 students) on Monday, 1 Nov, if the ART result is negative.
• Report to school as usual to check examination scripts on Monday, 15 Nov, if the ART result is negative.
B.
•Follow the national 1-2-3 protocols if the ART result is positive.
•Inform the form teacher and the school.
C.
• If a student has received an HRW, he/she may undergo an ART swab on the day of returning to school, for example, on Monday, 1 Nov, and/or Monday, 15 Nov.
•Take a snapshot of the ART result together with the Student Pass (STP) and send a snapshot to the form teacher. The student is only allowed to leave home if the ART result is negative.
We care for the well-being of all our students and will provide timely updates to keep you informed. If you have any question, please email us at [email protected]
Meanwhile, we strongly encourage our students to stay safe at home, eat healthily, exercise and revise their work over the long weekend.
God Bless,
SYAS Administration.

Home-based Learning (HBL) for Primary School (28 and 29 October 2021)
22 Oct 2021
Dear Parents/Guardians/Students,
Home-based Learning (HBL) for Primary School (28 and 29 October 2021)
Greetings. Our teachers have been preparing our students for the continuous assessment for P1 students and the year-end examination for P2-P6 students in school after the last home-based learning (HBL) period. As we see a continuous spike in Covid cases recently, we would like to embark on another HBL on Thursday and Friday, 28 and 29 October, so that students can attend HBL in the safety and security of home.
Students will report to school on Monday, 1 November, for their continuous assessment (P1) or the year-end examination (P2-P6).
Once again, we would like to thank you for working with us. Let us continue to remind all students to practise personal and social responsibilities to keep one another safe and the virus at bay. May God’s protection be upon us. See you soon.
