• Parents can convey their concerns regarding their ward’s Scholastic and Non-Scholastic performance or any miscellaneous matter which is hampering the progress of the child.
• School believes in direct interaction / dialogue with parents only and not their guardian, for matters related to Academic performance / Behavioural issues & any other administrative requirements of child to prevent any misunderstanding.
• Messages for the school from parents should be delivered in person, in writing or by telephone /electronic-mail. Word-of mouth messages through children or friends or guardian should not be used.
• Check the school portal / website regularly. Keep yourself updated about school activities & other information.

RESPONSIBILITY

• Please mark all the belongings of your ward with his/her name, admission number, class and section
• Do spend quality time going through note books especially when the child is off the hostel and when they are at home.
• Taking leave during working days is strongly discouraged. Students boarding at the school hostel or otherwise are responsible to make up for the loss of studies in case of leave taken. The school will expect these students to be at par with the class in every way and that will have to be ensured with the support & encouragement of the parents.
• Ensure that your child does not bring any valuable articles to school. In case of loss of valuables, the school will try its best to trace the item but will not be responsible for the loss.
• Gifts and Valuable articles like gold/ diamond jewellery (chain & danglers), body art (Tattoo) is strictly prohibited in the school and in the hostel facility.
• In case of non-compliance, students will be issued Disciplinary cards. Repetition will de-bar them from attending the classes and parents shall be called to take them home.

SAFETY & SECURITY

• Parents are requested to personally drop and pick up their ward to and from the campus.
• Parents are requested not to collect their wards during school hours. In case of emergency the parent should come in person or a person authorized by the parent and parents must also convey the message telephonically to the concerned In- charge.
• Motivate your child to maintain a proper code of conduct. Any misbehaviour / indiscipline and damage to school property may lead to serious consequence (disciplinary action).
• Posting of derogatory remarks & obscene pictures on social media will invite severe disciplinary action (Suspension / Rustication from school).

CONSIDERATION

• Parents are requested not to make any social engagements or medical appointments during school days that prevent the student from attending the school.
• If a child is found unwell while at school or gets injured while playing, then school authorities will provide immediate medical aid, and the same will be informed to the parent for their attention and comforting the child.
• A student who has respect for the school and the teacher learns immensely. Avoid criticizing the school or the teacher in the presence of your child. If you have any legitimate complaint, kindly meet the Principal/HM/Administrator.
• Birthday / other celebrations are strictly not allowed in the school or hostel premises.
• Encourage your ward to speak in English at home and provide him / her ambience to improve spoken English.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN

• Western Ghats is nestled in a green hill and the school administration takes initiatives to conserve the surrounding through the minimal use of paper / plastic and other materials that harm the surrounding. Students should take utmost care in protecting the school surroundings and should come forward in pledging to protect our environment as a whole. 

EXAMINATION AND PROMOTION

• Missing out on Periodic Assessment (Weekly Tests and Subject Enrichment Activities) and Half Yearly / Annual Exam directly affect the promotion of the students to the next class at the end of the session. Thus your ward's presence in all the Assessments places him on a safer pedestal and decides a better place in the class. Please take these Tests/Evaluations seriously and avoid absenteeism for the betterment of your ward.

COMMANDMENTS FOR GOOD PARENTING :

"The foundation of a child's character is laid in his initial years"

Parents and the teachers work in partnership for the all-round development of a child. It is important to teach students to respect school discipline and be proud of it.

 

• Parents should spend quality time with their children in following up their ward’s scholastic and personal development.
• Criticism of the school, the Principal and the teachers should be avoided in front of children. Such criticism builds disrespect for the school and the child may find himself in a state of confusion regarding following the rules and code of conduct laid down by the school.
• The school rules should first be followed by the parents, such as paying fee on time, attending all PTMs, coming to school on calls from the teachers, the Wing Head or the Principal. Seeing the parents' positive response, the children will readily accept their teachers' instructions.

Guidelines to parents when your ward is at home.

• Parents should regularly check the bags and belongings of their children at least once a week. A few children sometimes bring unwanted material to school, so parents should not mind if the bags / pockets / bottles are checked by the school authorities.
• Parents should never allow unchecked, uncontrolled, unsupervised access to the internet and social networking websites, especially Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & Google chats to their children. If the children feel bad about it, let them feel so. Parents should be firm on their decision as it is a question of their ward's future. Such websites invite distraction as there is an abundance of objectionable material available on the internet. Bad is always bad, and bad will make the child worse if he is not monitored and guided at the right time and the right age
• Mobile culture should not be encouraged during school life. Experience conveys that there is more harm than good due to mobile addiction. It is a device which distracts most of the children from their studies. Physical activities such as sports should be encouraged, for the healthy development of the child. If the children are too young to go alone, their parents should take them to the playground.
• Involve your sons as well as daughters in household chores such as washing, cleaning, dusting, ironing clothes, cooking and gardening, which may be taken up for half an hour twice a week. This channelizes their energy in constructive work and also teaches them dignity of labour, apart from reducing the aggression in them.
• A careful combination of firmness and leniency should be used. Excess of pampering will be problematic in later stages of school and college. Over-pleading the cases of wards will bear negative results in life ahead. They might become sympathy seekers.
• In the wake of deteriorating moral standards in the society, parents should keep a close watch on their child's friend circle.
• The parents must keep track of the expenditure of the pocket money of the child and also help him to develop a habit of saving money. They should refrain from giving excess money to their child. School doesn't demand money from parents & parents will be notified in case money is required for any regard.
• Be patient with your child; never show outbursts of anger, give off-the-cuff remarks or jump to conclusions without listening to him / her. Give your child time, advice and love and see how beautifully you can ward off all the negative thoughts of your child.
