However, should any parent feel that he/she needs to meet the Principal or any teacher with regard to the work or conduct of his/her child or for any problem faced by the child, he/she is encouraged to do so at the earliest, after making an appointment with the Principal or the teacher concerned.

The school administration will take a serious view of the parents regularly absenting themselves from Parent-Teacher meetings or showing indifference towards their children’s education.

TO PARENTS

Though a school can do a lot for a child, it cannot do everything. The home is a place where he gets his first education and training in citizenship. It is the chief place where his character is formed and developed. School education indeed promotes the growth of personality and helps to discover and develop the qualities that are in the children. In order to secure all that is best in the education of your child, maximum co-operation between the parents and the school authorities in necessary.

The task of helping our children to become good citizens is done better through a kind of partnership between the school and parents.

The school desires to have your co-operation and close contact with the teachers of your children in order to develop an atmosphere that is conductive to better and more effective education. The school hand book is one of the links which bridges the home and the school. It will be an effective medium for parent-teacher contact.

We earnestly request the parents to look into the Handbook everyday and see that the lesson and homework assigned for the next dare completed. The child should be encouraged to cultivate habitual cleanliness in all his/her work. The teachers will communicate with you through the Handbook. Your prompt attention to those remarks is very essential.

Absence of your child from class for attending social functions is discouraged because it retards the child's progress and minimizes his/her interest in regular hard work. It is essential that the school be informed when the child is detained at home.

Children who are ill should not be sent to school to attend class or take tests, as the chances are that they will spoil both their health and studies. In case of illness, application for leave must reach the school without delay.

Children should do their home work by themselves. They should not be helped in it by parents or by tutors unless they really need it. It is important that children develop a habit of studying and working on their own.

Criticism of teacher should be avoided in the presence of the child because it undermines his/her respect for the teachers and the school. Should you have a legitimate complaint, please meet the principal.

Giving presents to the staff or other demonstrations of gratitude or goodwill to honor them is not allowed.

As your child advances in age, guide him/her to become a resourceful and useful member of the home, society and the country. Encourage self-help for work and study, He/she should be taught to keep his room tidy, make his own bed, polish his/her own shoes, carry his/her own bags, etc. The formation of such habits early in life inculcates in him/her the idea if dignity of work, which is a fundamental personal virtue necessary for a successful career in life.

Parents are requested to pay special attention to the personal cleanliness of your child. Kindly see that the child attends the school in proper prescribed uniform. As the medium of instruction in this school is English, children should be helped to follow their classes easily and intelligently by certain amount of regular English conversation at home.
