SCHOOL POLICY

Parent and student guide regarding school rules and regulations
Behavior reflects the academic and social progress of a student. We expect our students to behave at all times in a manner that reflects the culture, traditions and beliefs of our society and is conductive to a positive working environment. The administration and staff of Mahila Seva Samaja School believe that it is important to encourage and reinforce positive behavioural patterns and to discourage negative behavioural patterns, and rely upon parental support and cooperation to accomplish this objective.

If a parent has been called by the school, it is very important for them to report in the front office. No parent is allowed to go directly to meet the Teachers.
The time of leaving the premises depends on the extra activities carried out by each student. Parents should get prior information from the children on these activities so as to avoid any concern or anxiety regarding their delayed return from school.
Need an authorized letter from the parent for a student to leave early. Children will not be allowed to leave with a driver or another adult without an authorization letter from the parent.

Leave of Absence from school/Excuse from Physical activities

Parents need to plan their vacation only during school breaks and not otherwise. School will surely not permit children going on vacation during school days.
Attending marriages and other social functions while the school is in session needs to be kept to the minimum and prior permission should be sought to avail leave.
If a child has a medical condition and has not reported to school for more than a week, the leave letter should be accompanied by a medical certificate.
If a student is unable to participate in any kind of physical activity organised by the school because of illness, a note must be recorded by the parent to the physical-education teacher in the diary explaining the illness, and she /he will be excused. In the event of a prolonged illness, a student must produce a medical certificate and seek exemption from PT or swimming.
If a child is suffering from any serious medical condition, a letter to the class teacher at the beginning of the year is essential and important.
STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY CELL PHONES/ IPODS/ MP3 PLAYERS OR ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC GADGETS AND EXCESS MONEY TO THE SCHOOL AND THE SAME WILL BE CONFISCATED IF IT IS FOUND IN THE STUDENTS’ POSSESSION

Say NO to violence

We emphasise the importance of non-violence. Pushing, swearing, shoving, biting, hitting and kicking each other are unacceptable, even if done in fun. Physical assault will be dealt with severely, by suspension. It is very important that parents discuss this policy with their child(ren). The school needs parental support in this endeavour.
If a child is found bullying a child physically or mentally, the child will be counselled by the Class Teacher, Coordinator and Counsellor. If this behaviour continues, the child will be suspended and asked to leave the school.
Children cannot use any type of social networking sites to malign their friends, teachers and the school. If any child is found doing this, the immediate consequence is suspension from the school.

We request parent’s cooperation for the following:

Do not send expensive and excess stationery or send things that are not allowed by the school and if found with the child, same will be confiscated.
Parents are requested to approach the school for any student related incidents or queries. If there is a misunderstanding or fight amongst children, the same has to be brought to the notice of the school and please do not approach or deal with the issue directly with parents. We are doing this solely to avoid conflicts.
Parents should report to the front office if they need to pick up their children in case of emergency. Parents are not allowed to go to the classrooms directly.
There will be no refund of money (excursion, external exams etc) after the last date for withdrawal.
No last minute request for leave will be entertained unless it is an emergency. Two days notice to avail leave is required.
Parents are hereby informed that carrying of mobile phones or any other electronic gadgets is strictly prohibited in school and confiscated if a child has it and will never be returned.

The following consequences have been established for non compliance of any of the above rules & instructions

The child’s non- compliance of the rules agreed upon will be informed to the parents.
Regular poor behaviour by the child will cause for suspension from the School.
