It is very necessary that the students and parents read the Almanac together and understand the contents fully. This Almanac aims at establishing an invaluable link between teachers, students and parents. It is intended to serve:

• 1. As an all-in-one ready reckoner and planner for students
• 2. As a means of communication between parents and the school:
  • • to keep parents abreast with what their children are studying at school and the curricular progress of their wards
  • • to keep parents informed about home assignments
  • • to serve as a handy reference with regard to the student’s schedule
  • • to be used for convenient, day-to-day correspondence (related to academics and conduct) between parents and the school staff.

Students should ensure that they bring this Almanac to school every day, use it productively and treat it with care.

Parents should review current pages daily and must countersign and respond to any comments, which may be made periodically by members of the faculty. Parents should also countersign home assignments to signify their completion and provide an explanation if home assignments are not completed for any good reason.

As a matter of policy, students will get home tasks on subjects they are familiar with. These tasks are intended as revision exercises, to reinforce what is learned by students in school and must be undertaken by students entirely on their own, without adult supervision. Students should seek the help of their teachers at school on the following day if they encounter any difficulty.

Comments made by parents in the Almanac should be productive and confined strictly to the subject of the student’s work and her/his conduct. All other matters concerning the School should be dealt with separately and either conveyed personally or through separate letters/e-mails addressed to the Head of School.
