We believe "teachers should take care of teaching and parents should do parenting". Only then a child feels secure and grows up with confidence. As much as we take care of training the child as a teacher, we would like our parents to take care of the following:

  • Abiding by the policies and regulations, stated in the school Diary, which governs the day-to-day functioning of the school.
  • Regular monitoring of the child’s performance. Encouraging self-study provides opportunity for reflection and self-evaluation, fundamental components to become independent learners.
  • Checking and signing the notes in the school diary on a daily basis.
  • Monitoring the internal assessment papers and consulting the concerned educators periodically.
  • Encouraging and supporting the child to participate in all events and competitions.
  • Staying updated through the Weekly Transaction Report sent by mail every Friday.
  • Attending all PTMs and Parent Orientation Programmes conducted at regular intervals.
  • Informing the school about existing learning disorders and learning disabilities and working in coordination with the Special Needs Teacher. In case the school notices any learning difficulties, cooperation from parents is expected to get the diagnosis done professionally and thereafter, follow the interventions recommended.
  • Notifying the school about noticeable behavioral concerns and seeking professional help as advised by the school counselor.
  • Volunteering to accompany learners in field trips, inter-school events, and competitions.
