The school earnestly solicits and indeed requires the maximum cooperation of parents from day to day, especially by ensuring regular attendance and discipline of your ward. You are expected to monitor your wards progress by checking their diaries and notebooks regularly. Your constant interest in the progress of your child is not only your prime responsibility but will also be greatly appreciated. Therefore:

• Parents should make it a point to attend functions organized by the school for them such as Parent-Teacher Meets, Result/report card Day, XPTA Annual General Body Meet, etc.

• In the event a parent fails to attend a parent-teacher meet on a report card day, you are requested not to send your ward to school until you meet the class teacher and take the report card. Tutors, elder brother/sisters, relatives, neighbours or any other unauthorized persons are not allowed to attend these meetings on behalf of the parent, unless the parent requests for the same in writing for a valid reason.

• Parents are informed that occasional reports from the teachers or administrators are to be countersigned as proof that they have read them and must understand that failure or refusal to do so may put the child to great inconvenience.
