Dear parents,

I take an opportunity to thank you all for the unparallel support you have rendered to us throughout the year and especially during Annual Day Function.

SAFETY MEASURES

i)  Our school has always given great priority to regular upkeep and update of physical infrastructure, implement standard rules and procedures with regard to school transport,   safety of children,  dispersal of students,  medical emergency, so that we are always ready and equipped to meet any eventuality or untoward incident in the school campus.

ii)   School drivers have been advised not to ply buses on the ‘C’ roads especially in the congested residential areas of Zirakpur, Harmilap Nagar and inside various housing societies around Panchkula as per the strict instructions of the district administration.

TRANSPORTATION
It has been observed that auto rickshaw or cycle rickshaw ferrying the children are overloaded and generally children are seen dangerously hanging on the sides or by the driver's seat.  We have warned them at our end. In case of any mishap, the school authorities will not take any responsibility for it.  At times these rickshaws do not arrive in time to pick up children from school (or do not arrive at all). The children face a lot of inconvenience.  In case the safe 'rickshaw arrangement' is not feasible, services of school buses maybe utilized.  Parents who drop their children are requested to ensure their child's safety so they must wait till their child enters the school premises. 

A WORD OF CAUTION:-

Parents are requested not to make mobiles accessible to their children.  It has been observed that children watch objectionable sites and discuss among themselves.  Very young children have been found doing so in the classrooms. This would deprive the children of the pleasures of innocent childhood. As home is an 'Emotional refuge' give them your love, care, attention and time.  A little vigilance on your part will help develop healthy self esteem and would armour against the challenges of the world.

ADMISSION
The registration for admission to all classes is open.  Parents are requested to intimate in their neighborhood and to their acquaintances as limited seats are available. 
PROCEDURE FOR WITHDRAWAL

Parents who want to withdraw their child from the school in the next session must send a written application to the principal by 1^st March,2019, otherwise one month fee will be charged.              

PAYMENT OF FEE AND OTHER DUES

School fee along with bus fee is to be deposited by 15^th of every quarter. Late payments shall be subject to a fine of Rs.10 per day after the due date. The defaulters of the last quarter (January to March) will not be allowed to take final examination.

Well parents, do share your feedback with us while reflecting upon this circular.  This endeavour will go a long way in stimulating introspection so that measures for still better standards are explored.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
