School Sync

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR ALL PARENTS

School plays a vital role in the shaping of a child’s personality but much of the chiselling is done at home. The school cannot fulfil its objectives unless parents co-operate with the school. School Chronicle will establish a valuable liaison between the teachers and parents with regard to the quality & quantity of work being attempted by the students in the school and at home. We insist that parents look into their ward’s School Chronicle and School Website (Homework Page) everyday and ensure that the assigned home task is being carried out by the student regularly. Parents should take note of the remarks made in the Chronicle from time to time by the teachers / school authorities and countersign it.

Parents are advised that any comment made in the School Chronicle by them should be confined to the student’s work and conduct. No purpose will be served by critical reference entered in the Chronicle in respect of teaching method / teacher. Such remarks will only bring the school and parents at variance with each other. However, if a parent has any suggestions to make, the Principal shall be happy to receive them through a written note or an e-mail. Criticism of the teachers or of the school in the presence of the student be scrupulously avoided because it causes the students to lose respect for his / her teachers.

If any parent feels that a student is not making the desired progress, an appointment with the Principal should be sought. Private tuitions are strongly discouraged. No teacher of our school is allowed to tutor any student studying in the school. Parents to please keep checking the website regularly and keep themselves updated with the latest development / activities.
