ABOUT THE ALMANAC

It is important 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; and
2. As a means of communication between parents and the school;

• To keep parents abreast with what their children are studying at school and
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; And

• 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
any adult supervision. Students should seek the help of their teachers at school on
the following day if they encounter any difficulties.

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