PARENTS VS SCHOOL INTERACTION

The parent’s body will comprise of parent coordinators who will arrange extracurricular activities and events. It is vital for you as a parent to know who your child interacts with. The parent body coordinators will give the parents a chance to interact with other parent/ children.

A POSITIVE HABIT-------- READING

DEAR PARENTS

INCULCATE THE HABIT OF READING IN YOUR CHILDREN AND SUPPORT OUR READING PROGRAMME. READING IS A BEAUTIFUL HABIT AND SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED.
