Parents Guidelines
Parent–School Partnership
A child spends only one-fourth of the day at school and the remaining three-fourths at home, making parents essential partners in their learning journey. Enrolling a child in a good school strengthens—rather than replaces—the shared responsibility between home and school. When parents and teachers work together, children receive holistic support and develop respect for discipline, strong values, and pride in their school.
GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS (VIS)
REGULARITY
- Parents must ensure that their wards join the school on the notified date at the beginning of the term or after each vacation.
- Parents should take active and helpful interest in the activities of the schooland check that child does the homework regularly. Parents should ensure submission of Assignments and Projects in time. This will make child secure grades.
COMMUNICATION
- Parents/guardians should check the school almanac daily, read all remarks, and countersign them.
- All communication to the Principal should be routed through the Class Teacher.
- Any change in address, designation, or contact number should be reported to the school through the Class Teacher.
- Visit the school website/portal regularly to stay updated on notices and activities.
- Parents may meet the Principal or teachers during visiting hours. Prior appointments are appreciated. Phone calls to teachers or the Principal are discouraged.
- Concerns about academics or behaviour may be shared through the school diary. If unresolved within three working days, parents may email or request a meeting with the Coordinator / Principal depending on the matter.
- The school interacts directly with parents, not guardians or third parties, to avoid miscommunication.
- Messages for school should be given in person, in writing, or via phone/email—not through children or intermediaries.
RESPONSIBILITY
- Label all belongings with the child’s name, admission number, class, and section.
- Review notebooks regularly, especially on weekends.
- Avoid leave on working days. Parents must ensure students cover missed work and stay at par with the class.
- Students should not bring valuables. The school will not be responsible for loss of expensive items.
- Jewellery, expensive accessories, makeup, mehandi (except minimal on the inner palm with permission), tattoos, and decorative items are not permitted.
- Ensure students come in neat, well-ironed, complete uniform. Boys should have a simple haircut; girls must tie hair in plaits or ponytails. Non-compliance may lead to disciplinary cards or being sent home.
- Do not send extra money. If found, it will be confiscated. Students may carry up to ₹50 for canteen snacks.
SAFETY & SECURITY
- Parents should personally pick and drop their wards at the bus stop, especially for Classes Pre-Nursery to V, and must carry their school ID during school visits/PTMs.
- Avoid picking children during school hours. In emergencies, an authorized person (with photo in the Almanac) may collect the child after proper verification and telephonic confirmation from the parent.
- Students using two-wheelers at home must wear helmets and carry a valid license. Only 50cc vehicles are permitted as per traffic rules.
- Encourage proper conduct; misbehaviour, indiscipline, or damage to property may invite disciplinary action.
- Do not send sharp objects or dangerous items. Posting inappropriate content on social media may lead to suspension or rustication.
- Parents/guardians should not visit classrooms or staff rooms during school hours.
- Provide healthy, hygienic vegetarian food. Non-vegetarian food is discouraged as it may cause discomfort or drowsiness.
- Ensure students pack their bags properly each morning. No items (tiffin, books, instruments, etc.) will be accepted after school begins.
CONSIDERATION
- Half-day leave is not permitted. Unwell children should rest at home. Social functions or appointments should be planned outside school hours. Students leaving mid-day will be marked absent.
- If a child becomes unwell or injured at school, parents will be informed to pick them up.
- Avoid criticizing the school or teachers in front of children, as it affects respect and discipline. Discuss concerns directly with the Principal.
- Birthday celebrations should be simple, limited to classmates. We would avoid distributing toffees/chocolates. No cakes or expensive treats.
- Pre-primary and Primary students may wear casual dress on birthdays; students from III–XII must wear uniform.
