The primary right and duty to educate children rests with the parents at home, more than any other place. Parents teach by example. They tremendously influence their children inculcating the virtues of love,in justice, generosity, loyalty and honesty. Parents are requested to join hands with the school in promoting harmonious growth and development of their children. Here are a few guidelines

Parents are requested to see that their wards attend school in proper school uniform and they are punctual to school with the necessary books and stationery. Please ensure your child carries adequate lunch, snacks, drinking water, a spoon and 2 napkins. Well sharpened pencils, pens, covered notebooks and bound books need to be brought to school. A mark on the personal belongings of the child is preferable for identification purpose. Do remind the children often that ultimate responsibility of preserving their belongings rests only with themselves. Parents are requested to monitor and teach your ward/s to maintain their personal hygiene.

Parents are expected to be vigilant about their children returning home immediately after school hours. Never send people to pick up your children from school, other than those whom you have referred to school. Never discuss the negative points of facilitators or school before children. Kindly do not jump into conclusions listening to your child's complaints. Do clarify with the Principal about the same. Kindly do not attempt to gift the facilitators, staff, drivers etc., in order to seek favouritism. School discourages external tuition help arranged personally by parents as the difference in coaching will ultimately confuse the child. Please talk to children about events that happen in the country and around the world and consider taking them out to places of interest during the holidays.

A suggestion/ complaint box is placed near the school office for parents to drop in their suggestions/complaints.
