Dear Parents 03rd April 2025

Greetings of the day!
Our mission is to ensure that each child develops a set of skills, interests, positive attitude and high motivation.
The school helps the students to explore the inner-self continually for reinforcing the strengths and overcoming
the weaknesses. It aims at acquiring a sound knowledge base in scholastic and co-scholastic areas, analysing,
evaluating and applying the acquired wisdom in handling daily life situations confidently.
Important points for you to note:

 Regularity and punctuality in school should be the priority of every student. Remember that every day of the
school is important and new, so discourage him/her from absenteeism.
 PLEASE ENSURE that you have purchased the books and notebooks as per the list recommended. It is
MANDATORY to purchase the school almanac. NO student will be allowed to attend classes if s/he comes to
school without the books and notebooks as per time table from 7th April 2025 (Monday).
 Please fill in the school Almanac for PERSONAL MEMORANDA, IMPORTANT INFORMATION and

 Taking leave during working days is strongly discouraged. Parents are responsible to make up for the loss of
studies in case of leave taken. The school will expect these students to be at par with the class in every way and that
will have to be ensured by the parents.
 Missing out on Cycle/ Class Tests and Evaluations directly affects the promotion of the students to the next
class at the end of the academic session. Thus, being present for all the tests places the student on a safer pedestal
and decides a better position in class. Please take these Tests/Evaluations as seriously as any Mid Term and Annual
Examination for the betterment of your ward.
