Guidelines for Parents – lakshyaschool

COMMUNICATION

Parents must log on to the school portal from time to time, as all important information regarding the schedules of examination/Open House/workshops, change in syllabus and announcement of untimely holidays are always communicated through the Homepage of the school portal.
Parents are advised to maintain a close contact with the school for the optimum benefit of their ward.
Open House should be attended regularly in order to get apprised about the progress of their child.
Any change in the phone nos./email id/postal address must be updated in the school records at the earliest.
School bags need to be checked regularly for any circular, worksheet, invitation or homework given in the almanac. Remarks put down in the almanac should be seen and countersigned regularly.
The school issues regular newsletters to students from Classes Nursery to XII on the school portal. Parents are requested to keep a regular check of the school website and almanac for any important message or circular.
Any communication to the school should be addressed to the Principal on an A-4 sheet. The student’s name, class, section, admission no., address and phone no. should be mentioned clearly on all applications.
As the medium of instruction in school is English, a certain amount of regular conversation in English should be encouraged at home to help the students enhance their communication skills and facilitate their homework.
All the school rules must be read carefully and explained to the children.
Bullying is one of the biggest educational issues. Any incident of bullying, if noticed, should be brought to the attention of the school authorities at the earliest in order to achieve a safe and child-friendly environment in the school.
