Parent – Teacher Meetings
Though a school can do a lot for a child, it cannot do everything. The home is a place where he gets his first education and training in citizenship. It is the chief place where his character is formed and developed. School education indeed promotes the growth of personality and helps to discover and develop the qualities that are in the children. In order to secure all that is best in the education of your child, maximum co-operation between the parents and the school authorities is necessary.
The task of helping our children to become good citizens is achieved better through a partnership between the school and parents.
The school desires to have your co-operation and close contact with the teachers of your children in order to develop an atmosphere that is conducive to better and more effective education. The school hand book is one of the links which bridges the home and the school. It is an effective medium for parent-teacher contact.
We earnestly request the parents to look into the Handbook everyday and see that the lesson and homework assigned for the next day is completed. The child should be encouraged to cultivate habitual cleanliness in all his work. The teachers will communicate with you through the Handbook. Your prompt attention to those remarks is very essential.
Absence of your child from class for attending social functions is discouraged because it retards the child’s progress and minimizes his interest in regular hard work. It is essential that the school be informed when the child is detained at home.
Children who are ill should not be sent to school to attend class or take tests, as the chances are that they will spoil both their health and studies. In case of illness, application for leave must reach the school without delay.
Children should do their home work by themselves. They should not be helped in it by parents or by tutors unless they really need it. It is important that children develop a habit of studying and working on their own.
Criticism of teachers should be avoided in the presence of the child because it undermines his respect for the teachers and the school. Should you have a legitimate complaint, please meet the principal.
Giving presents to the staff or other demonstrations of gratitude or goodwill to honor them is not allowed.
As your child advances in age, guide him to become a resourceful and useful member of the home, society and the country. Encourage self-help for work and study. He should be taught to keep his room tidy, make his own bed, polish his own shoes, carry his own bags, etc. The formation of such habits early in life inculcates in him the idea of dignity of work, which is a fundamental personal virtue necessary for a successful career in life.
Parents are requested to pay special attention to the personal cleanliness of their child. Kindly see that the child attends the school in proper prescribed uniform. As the medium of instruction in this school is english, there should be a certain amount of regular english conversation at home so that children can follow their lessons easily.
The school administration will take a serious view of the parents regularly absenting themselves from Parent-Teacher meetings or showing indifference towards their children’s education.
