Important Information

For Parents

Good Parenting

To get the best from the school for your child, you are advised to maintain close contact with the school. We earnestly recommend that parents and guardians should look into their ward’s organizer every day and see that the lesson and homework assigned for the day is done. The student should be encouraged to cultivate neatness. Remarks put down in the organizer should be seen and countersigned regularly.

If you feel that your ward is not making the desired progress the Class Teacher / Class coordinator/ Academic In charge/ Principal may be contacted.

Children will not be allowed to go home during school hours. Parents are requested not to make any social engagements or medical appointments during working hours. In order to ensure better discipline, parents are requested not to send their children to school on the day of any such appointments. In case of any infectious disease at your home please report the fact at once and do not send your ward to attend the class until the infectious period is over.

As the medium of instruction is English, a student should be helped and assisted to follow their work easily and intelligently by a certain amount of regular conversation in English at home. This will improve and enhance his/her communication skills.

  3. Help me not to form bad habits for I depend on you to detect them in the early stages.
  4. Correct me in private and not in public. I plead for the same respect as one deserves.
  5. Don’t protect me from the consequences. I need to learn the painful way some times.
  6. Love me but don’t spoil me.
  7. Don’t take too much notice of my small ailments sometimes they get me the attention I want.
  8. I am quickly growing up. It must be very difficult for you to keep pace “but remember your days”.
  9. Don’t even suggest that you are perfect or infallible. It gives me a great shock when I discover that you are neither.
  10. Please keep yourself fit and healthy. I NEED YOU.
