Safety Rules

Our children's safety is utmost priority to us. We have to enforce certain rules to ensure their safety while they enter and leave the school. We understand that this may cause inconvenience to you.

School Dispersal Procedure

1. School/Private Van: Children availing the school/private van facility will exit the school building through the auditorium on the north side. They will use the auditorium (West) door nearer to the basket ball court.
   
2. Parents/Guardians: Children being picked up by parents/guardians will exit the school building through the auditorium on the north side. They will use the auditorium (East) door nearer to the school gate. Parents/guardians can walk all the way till this door to pick up their ward.
3. Car/Auto Drivers: Children being picked up by car/auto drivers will wait in demarcated areas near the North and South gates. When they spot the drivers at the gate, they will walk till the gate. The security personnel will not let the children leave the gate by themselves; the child needs to show his/her escort to the security personnel before being let out. In case of rain, children will wait inside the building and the drivers can walk in to get the kids.

Personal Details

Personal details of every child is collected in the beginning of the year and the record of the same is maintained at the school office. However, if there is a change in any of the personal details, for example, the address, mobile number, email id, child's allergy/health problems, etc., during the course of the year, it is entirely your responsibility to notify the school in writing for updating the school records.

Unscheduled Holidays

Any unscheduled holidays will be intimated through SMS, email or both. However, in the event that the government should declare a school holiday due to rain, bandh, etc., during non-working-hours of the school, please contact your Class Parent for updates.

Northeast Monsoon: Chennai receives its maximum rainfall during northeast monsoons (mid-October to December). The characteristic feature of NE monsoon is that, the heaviest rainfall occurs between midnight till about 9.00 am in Chennai (rather the Coromandal coast). We understand your concern about your child going to school when it is pouring outside; we also understand the characteristics of NE monsoon! By the time we are into the second hour of the day, invariably we have nothing more than a drizzle! Hence, unless the government declares a mandatory school closure, it is unlikely that we give a day off due to heavy rain. Fortunately, our school is not situated in a low lying area and our buildings are robust. We understand that on such rainy mornings it is difficult to be punctual to school due to bad roads and traffic.

Attendance & Punctuality

Entry into school after the morning prayer is over will be considered late. Children are discouraged from taking leave unless there is a valid reason. Prior permission has to be obtained from the school for taking leave. Under absence due to unforeseen circumstances, the child is expected to submit a letter upon return. The letter should be addressed to the Principal and submitted to the class teacher. Alternatively, parents may also send an e-mail to the school. Attendance is compulsory on the first and last working day of every term and for all school functions. Under unavoidable circumstances prior permission must be sought.

Snacks and Lunch

Parents are requested to pack healthy snacks and lunch. Please refrain from sending non-vegetarian food to school.

Children from Class II and above may opt for the morning snacks and lunch provided in the school. The meal plan can be availed for the entire term only. In the event that a child not enrolled for the term meal plan needs to avail the facility just for a day, the payment must be made in the office at least one day in advance.

Note: We understand that there may arise situations when due to unforeseen reasons you are not able to send snack/lunch with your child. But, please do understand that we will not entertain same day request for snacks/meals, since we plan and cook for the exact number of children who have already paid. Please send a sandwich or buy food from outside and send with your child. We need atleast one day's prior payment/confirmation to accommodate your request.

Birthday Celebration

We encourage children to celebrate their birthday in a simple way. Children may distribute healthy and preferably homemade individually wrapped sweets to their class teacher and classmates. Children are to refrain from distributing expensive chocolates and gifts to their peers.

Bus Facility

School transport facility is available on certain routes. The vans will ply twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon to cater to the junior classes as well as the middle and senior classes. Priority is given to children who are already availing this service. Children will be picked up and dropped off at designated points only. Private van facility is also available. Interested parents are to contact the office for further details.

Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate

Parents wishing to withdraw their children at the end of the academic year must inform the school in writing on or before 15^th March. A written requisition for Transfer Certificate from the parent or guardian of the student should be submitted to the office. The Transfer Certificate will be issued after the last working day. Parents applying for the Transfer Certificate after the 15^th of March will have to pay the first term fees for the next academic year. Kindly note that parents who withdraw their children in midst of an academic session are obliged to pay the fee for all the three terms.

Note: It will take a minimum of 2 weeks to issue the Transfer Certificate from the day of submission of the requisition letter, since the certificate has to be sent to the Board at New Delhi for attestation.

Bonafide Certificate

It can be obtained 2 days after the submission of written requisition from the parent to the office.
