GENERAL GUIDELINES

FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS

The school believes in discipline and in firmness. Slackness, disobedience and disregard of rules will not be tolerated and any work or action likely to lower the image of the school is regarded as a breach of the school discipline.

The School reserves the right to expel students whose diligence or progress in studies is considered unsatisfactory or whose conduct is harmful to other students. Immorality, insubordination or contempt of authority and breaking bounds are always sufficient reasons for being expelled or rusticated immediately.

1. Parents are urged not to change the phone/mobile number in a session. If at all there is a change in the address or phone/mobile number the information should reach the school immediately through the Principal. All intimations regarding the change in the students’ profile must reach the school office.
