Early Bird Award: To encourage students to arrive early/on time for the school assembly, the first 20 students who arrive will receive an Early Bird Badge and their names recorded for recognition of students arriving consistently on time at the end of year. More details on recognition will be shared soon.

Using the School Facility: Please talk to your child about using the school premises responsibly. Students should not attempt to open/access the shed outside and keep the premises clean. They should place the cups in the trash can after having the drink and cannot take the drink inside the building. While in the classroom, they should not touch any of the materials in the classroom and cannot indulge in any writing on the desk or other surfaces. They are expected to use only the stationery they bring from home.

Attendance: Attendance is a critical component of our grading system as you all should know. The attendance officer will mark attendance during the live classroom session. Arriving after 10.15 am or leaving before 11.15 am will be marked as Tardy. Don’t forget that 100% attendance for the academic year gets a special recognition at the end of the year.
