RECOMENDATION TO PARENTS/GUARDIANS

• In order to secure all that is best in the education of your son or daughter the maximum co-operation between parents and school authorities is necessary. We earnestly recommend that parents or guardians look into their children’s school diary every day and find out all that has been done. The children should be encouraged to cultivate neatness habitually and slovenliness should be firmly disapproved of Remarks made in the diary should be seen and countersigned regularly.
• Should you feel that your children do not make the desired progress, the Principal/Headmistress should be contacted Private tuitions are strongly discouraged. If there is a real need of a private tutor, arrange for one after getting permission from the Principal. Normally the class teacher will not be allowed to teach his or her students. Parents, guardians or visitors should not visit the classroom during class hours.
• Criticism of a boy’s/girl’s teacher of his/her school in his/her presence should be strictly avoided because it causes the boy or girl to lose his/her respect for the teacher, with the consequent failure to learn from him/ her. If you have a legitimate complaint, see the Principal/Headmistress.
• As your boy/girl advances in age, guide him/her to become a resourceful & useful member of home & country. Encourage self-help for work & study. He/she should be taught to keep his/her room tidy, make his/ her own bed, polish his/her own shoes, carry his/her own bag, etc. The formation of such habits in life inculcates in him/her the idea of the dignity of work, a fundamental personal virtue necessary for a successful career in life. Boys and girls who are ill should not be sent to school to attend class or take the test. The chances are that he/she will do badly and consequently spoil the record of his/her term’s work, Cases of illness are settled on the basis of the term’s work in consultation with his/her teacher and his/her previous records.
