4What is the school's policy on taking leave during the academic session?
The school will permit students to take leave during an academic session only if there is a matter of great importance. In such a situation, parents should send in a leave note to the class teacher and the Principal.5

In case of illnesses, please send a copy of the doctor's certificate along with the leave request letter.5

4How will the school assess my child's performance during a term?
The class teacher assesses all the work done in class and also conducts tests in the form of worksheets. The assessment is tabulated as per the norms set down by the academic dept. and a grade is assigned.5

The students will not be told that they are writing a test, as that causes unnecessary stress. Further the teacher would like to judge the efficacy of her teaching module through tests conducted unobtrusively.5

4What is the school's policy on homework?
It is a great pity that children should waste quality time they have with their parents and friends on account of homework. Homework is after all remedial and drill activities that should be done under the supervision of the teacher. This serves a dual purpose of

a) Immediate discovery of a potential problem

b) It·s remedy through the teacher's intervention, so that, the child understands the remedy in the correct context.

Therefore all homework at Deen·s will be achieved within a stipulated homework period under the supervision of the class teacher.5

4What if my child requires some extra work to improve his/her performance?
Not every child has makes similar strides in his/her class performance and may require some extra remedial work. The teacher will counsel the parents regarding this and work on a strategy that best suits the child with the help of the parents.5

4Will my child carry a heavy bag to school?
All school books will stay in class and will be sent home periodically for the parents to see. At any point in time the child carries to school:

a) a water bottle

b) his/her school diary

c) a file containing his/her work on - Friday.5
