Helpful Hints for Parents
Here are some helpful hints to make a great start to the year!
School begins at 7:50 am and gets over at 1:40 pm for walking students and 1:55 p.m. for
bus students. Please ensure that your ward reaches school on time.
Please send healthy food for lunch. Avoid sending junk food. Also send some fruit for the
fruit break in a separate box. Children can also carry fruit juices in tetra packs. Ensure that
the child carries a clean napkin daily along with small fork & spoon.
Please label all books, water bottles, lunch boxes, uniform etc with your child‘s name. No
lunch box, water bottle or eatables will be accepted at the school reception.
Encourage your child to talk about his/her day and take time to look at your child‘s work.
Allow time for your child to adjust to school routines. Std. 1 is tough, especially in the
beginning of the year. The students are often very tired and take time to adjust to the new
timings.
We have games twice a week. Please be sure your child is dressed accordingly as per the PT
uniform.
No child may wear jewellery. However girls are allowed small simple earrings.
No child may use cosmetics or apply henna (mehandi ) on their hands, colour the hair or
apply kohl (kaajal) etc. This can lead to suspension from school.
No nail polish may be worn and nails must be trimmed regularly and kept clean.
Girls with long hair should make two plaits tied with white rubber bands . Those with short
hair must use a white elastic hairband.
Child must wear Black/White Velcro shoes.
Boys should have short hair and avoid fancy hairstyles like ‗mushroom cut‘ etc. (With the
exception of Sikh boys)
Sikh boys must wear white patkas.
It is compulsory for all students to wear the I – card daily. A sum of Rs. 50/- will be charged
from any students who requires a duplicate I-Card.
Absence from school must be supported by an application on an A-4 size white sheet for
leave signed by the parents/guardian. If the absence is due to illness and exceeds more than
three days, a doctor‘s certificate should accompany the leave application.
Half - day leaves are strictly prohibited.
Children should not be sent to school to appear for an examination/or test if they are sick.
Students who accompany their parents on Parent Teacher Meetings to school should be in
full school uniform.
Children should not bring crackers, colours, cameras, video cameras, calculators, cell
phones, I-pods or any other objectionable items to the school. Disregarding these
instructions is liable to lead to expulsion of a student from the school.
Please do no send any gifts on your ward‘s birthday, only dry candies/sweets may be
distributed. Only primary students (I to V) are allowed to wear casual clothes on their
birthdays.
