Dear Parents,  

1. You are requested to cooperate with the Principal and staff for the effective functioning of the school and the well-being of child. 
2. Parents are co-educators, so it is essential for you to mould the character of your ward and instil discipline. 
3. In the child’s interests, it is very essential for him/her to imbibe self-discipline. The teacher will make the child understand that any in-disciplinary act will lead to a consequence which the child may have to face. We wish to avoid using the word punishments which can harm the child’s self-esteem. 
4. Students are not allowed to leave the school premises during the school hours. Snacks is to be had in the school itself. 
5. The child is not permitted to give ‘treats’ to other children in the school premises. 
6. Each child is different. The school and home environment must be congenial for building the child’s self-esteem to enable him/ her to confidently take up the challenges that come his/her way.
   1. The school insists on strict punctuality, regular school attendance, cleanliness in dress, general grooming and fidelity to study and work assignments. Absence from school for simple social functions is strongly discouraged. 
   2. Running, playing or shouting inside the school building is not allowed and at the end of the session, the pupils are expected to move in due order and silence along the corridors, to the exit.

10. Our school strongly discourages private tuition. The teaching program in the school is good enough for the students to perform well, provided the student pays attention in class and knows his/her responsibilities.
