SPECIAL NOTE TO PARENTS/ GUARDIANS

In order to achieve all that is best in the education of your child, the maximum co-operation between parents and school staff is necessary. We require that parents or guardians look into their child’s school diary every day and see to it that the lessons and homework assigned for the next day are done. The child should be encouraged to cultivate neatness habitually, and all slovenliness should be firmly discouraged. Remarks made in the diary should be read and countersigned immediately. The students must show their diary on the next class day to the staff member who made the comment.

Criticism of the students’ teachers or the school in their presence should be avoided because it causes the students to lose respect for their teachers, with the consequent failure to learn from them. Should you have a complaint please see the Principal.

Parents/ Guardians should refrain from uttering comments or taking actions that are detrimental to the interest of the School and it students.

Withdrawal of your child from classes for family social functions is strongly discouraged. It hinders the child’s progress in school and undermines respect for regular/ hard work with consequent failure to make progress in studies. School business is transacted only during school office hours. Please make inquiries in person or by phone during office hours.

No parents/ guardians are allowed to visit the classrooms.

Parents/ Guardians aggrieved on any ground are requested to meet the Principal/ Vice-Principal/ Department Head/ In-Charge personally by prior appointment instead of airing their grievances in public in front of the School Campus, as this created confusion and chaos amongst other Parents/ Guardians, leading to the development of unhealthy relation between the Parents/ Guardians and the School Authorities.

Violation of these rules on the part of Parents/ Guardians might lead to expulsion of the ward from the School.

On no occasion should a Parent/ Guardian try to telephone or meet the members of the School, the Principal/ Vice-Principal/ In Charge/ Department Head at their residence. In all matters of the School, the Secretary’s decision is final. The Principal/ Vice-Principal/ In-Charge/ Department Head will not meet any visitors after the School Management hours.

ATTENDANCE

Attendance for students on all working days is mandatory. A minimum of 75% attendance, over the year is eligible for promotion.

PRIVATE TUITION

Private Tuition is strictly forbidden as it is detrimental to classroom learning and also very damaging for the genuine development of a child, apart from implying that the teaching in the school is not adequate.

Any normal child of average intelligence should be able to cope with the daily lessons and homework without outside help.

Note

ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT NORMS, PRIVATE TUITION IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED BY THE SCHOOL TEACHERS. PARENTS ARE REQUESTED TO FOLLOW THE RULE.
