Regularity Record (Absence, Leave, Delay)

  • 1- School begins with the Morning Assembly. Students must be on time for it and be present in the Assembly Hall. It is advisable that students reach school at least five minutes before the scheduled time for the Assembly. Students go to class in silence from the Assembly, according to their sections.
  • 2- The purpose of regular attendance is to inculcate in the students traits of punctuality, regularity and academic discipline. To be eligible for promotion, a student must have a minimum of 75% attendance. Absence from the school without leave is not tolerated except when the cause is sudden illness or unforeseen circumstances in which case the information must be given in writing at the earliest.
  • 3- After an absence from the school the reasons for the absence must be entered briefly in the Regularity Record under "Absent" in the calendar. Reasons of a private nature may always be submitted in a letter. However, the matter must be mentioned in the absent page. Parents/Guardians should give a prior intimation to the school on the 3rd day of their ward's absence if they are likely to be absent for a longer duration.
  • 4- If an unauthorized absence from school exceeds 15 calendar days, the student's name may be struck off the rolls, and they may not be readmitted to school. For long term sickness, a letter must be given every 15 days mentioning the necessary details.
  • 5- An absence due to illness for two or more days or three calendar days, besides being entered in the Regularity Record under "Absent" must be accompanied by a doctor's prescription/certificate.
  • 6- Leave of absence for reasons such as birthdays, excursions, festivals, weddings, time to study for examinations, is not considered sufficient.
  • 7- A leave granted must be recorded in the Regularity Record under "Leave" in the calendar. This must be signed by Principal/Vice Principal/Coordinator.
  • 8- In case a child falls sick or meets with an accident in the school premises they can be helped with immediate first aid only. The parents will be informed and they are expected to come and attend the student immediately. It is important to give the correct contact numbers in the diary and update it whenever there is a change in the address of the parents.
  • 9- Late arrival to school is a breach of discipline. A student who comes late to school must enter the date and time of arrival in the Regularity Record under "Late". Five late arrivals will result in parents being called to the office of the Principal, after which that student is given an observation for every late arrival.
  • 10- The school declines all responsibility if through failure to produce a letter giving reasons for their absence or delay, a student is obliged to return home during school hours.
  • 11- Readmission to class, for absentees and late-comers, is granted when they show the teacher in charge the Regularity Record duly countersigned by the Principal.
  • 12- It is mandatory for a student to attend the school on days marked "compulsory attendance". Defaulters are to seek readmission to the school. In case of sickness or eventualities the matter must be notified to the Principal with relevant documents on the same day or earlier.
  • 13- The school fees cover twelve calendar months and may be paid in monthly instalments or in advance. No deduction is made for holidays or broken periods. Students are liable to be charged full fees as long as their names are officially on the rolls. Fees once paid will not be refunded. All dues must be paid before the Examination/Assessment.
  • 14- The fees, if paid monthly, must be paid on or before the due date, failing which a late fee of Rs. 50/- will be levied up to the end of the month and thereafter Rs 100/- per month cumulatively. Due dates are clearly indicated in the School diary. Fee defaulters may not be allowed to attend the class if fees are not cleared during the same month, fees once paid will not be refunded.
  • 15- If the delay in the payment of fees exceeds two months, the student is liable to be sent home without further notification. They may be asked to discontinue. Fees for the holiday months of May, October and December must be paid in advance before the school closes. School fees timings: 1st to 10th of every month from 9.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m.
  • 16- Any damage caused to the school property must be made good. Normally these payments are made in the school office and receipts must be collected.
  • 17- The school reserves the right to increase the fees at any time of the year if an increment is considered necessary. Ten percent annual increase in the tuition fee or any other is normal.
