KCPE 2009 RELEASE
We expect the Minister for Education to release the results for KCPE
2009 on Tuesday 29th December. As always, we shall post the results on
this blog when we have compiled all results. Since the KNEC website
may be down on that date (as it always is), we request that if you
receive the results by SMS, please forward the same message to the ICT
department on 0728711278.

We also want to thank all those left us with their email addresses. I
am drafting an ICT Proposal and Policy which I will forward to the
school on 28th December 2009. In a nutshell, the proposal seeks to
create an ICT system which will enable important information to reach
your mailbox (and mobile) at the touch of a button. It may involve a
substantial amount of cash and I may only count on numbers to support
this inevitable technological venture.

I am also creating a separate platform which will have important
events for the school available to you on your desktop at the touch of
a button. You may check  a sample here. If it requires username and
password, use

Username-parent@nyaliprimary.com

pw- parent

We wish you all a merry Christmas and a Prosperous New year.
