POINTS TO PONDER
Safety
Because we care about children, we are concerned about their safety. By following simple procedures listed below, parents can help us ensure the safety of their children:-
i) To facilitate the handling of emergencies, parents should notify the school office where they can be reached during the day.
ii) Parents whose children are going to be absent from school should contact school office in the morning.
iii) To leave the school during day, students must be excused by school office personnel. Parents should contact the office for permission to take the child.
iv) All visitors to school building, including parents, are advised to check in at the school office and identify themselves when they arrive.
v) Parents should discuss with their children the possibility of early dismissal from school and make certain that children know where to go when their parents are not home.
vi) Parents should discuss with their children the fact that children should not talk to or accept rides from strangers.
vii) Parents should have an agreement with their children about reporting home when school is dismissed, and what to do if no one is at home.
Child Development
Main emphasis is given to character building and development of different skills in children instead of making them rote learners. In the same sequence the daily routine is designed. Parliament periods are mainly used for such targets.
