A student must have a minimum of 80% attendance to be eligible for promotion. 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 as early as possible. After absence from school, the reason for the absence must always be submitted through a letter to the class-teacher addressed to the Principal and the same must be duly recorded in the “Absent” Record in the school diary. Absence due to illness for more than two days must be accompanied by a doctor’s fitness certificate. Parents/Guardians should intimate the school on the third day if their ward is likely to be absent for a longer period. No leave of absence will be granted without a previous written application from the parents. Leave for religious ceremonies, marriage feasts or other special occasions must be obtained in advance at the sole discretion of the Principal.
The school does not provide for any re-tests of class assignments, unit test, etc. which are missed due to absence. The Principal’s prior permission for leave of absence from school is essential. In case of serious sickness / accident, the matter should be notified to the Principal / Vice Principal with the relevant documents on the same day or at the earliest possible date.
There is no such thing as a half day leave for students. Requests to send the students back home after the Unit tests or any other examinations will be turned down.
In case a child meets with an accident or falls sick within the school premises, the child can be helped with immediate first aid only.
