Parents-School Relationship

CJM-Shimla
  • Co-operation between parents and school authorities is paramount importance for the ultimate achievement of the school objectives in the education of our pupils. It is essential then that parents carry out their responsibilities as joint educators with the school authorities, and they take keen interest in every aspect of the school curriculum. The attendance of parents at school functions will be fully appreciated by the school authorities.
  • It is the duty of parents to see that their children come punctually to school, and are clean and neatly dressed.
  • Parents are informed through occasional reports from teachers in the school calendar. They are obliged to sign and date them as a proof that they have read them.
  • Parents are particularly requested, to sign the report of the terminal examination or similar reports, and notes issued by the principal or teacher in the interest of the child. Failure to do so, will prevent the child from being admitted. She will be struck off the roll.
  • If the pupils are likely to be absent for over a month the principal must be informed within a week, or else her name will be struck off the roll. All leave applications should be addressed to the principal. Applications must be written by parents and not by students.
  • Parents and Guardians are specifically requested to notify school authorities, of any change in their address or telephone number.
  • When communicating with the Principal, Parents and Guardians are requested to state in their letters the class in which their children are studying.
  • Complaints if any, should be made to the Principal and not to the Class teacher.
  • Parents and Guardians are requested to meet the teacher on “OPEN DAY” fixed by the school as regards the children’s progress and studies.
  • Parents and guardians who wish to interview teachers on school days must arrange with the teachers for this interview with prior permission of the Principal.
  • The school will not be responsible for goods, money, or books lost by the students. All articles belonging to a child should be marked with the child’s full name, class and section.
  • Criticism of the child's teacher or her school in the child's presence should be avoided because it causes the student to lose respect for her teacher with the consequent failure to learn from her.

Note:- Parents, guardians or other persons are not permitted to meet the teachers during school hours without the sanction of the Principal. The members of the staff should be interviewed in their free periods by prior appointment in the school office and not in the classroom.
