GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS / GUARDIANS

As parents, we owe our children quality time to build their self-esteem.

• Spend time with your children, by talking, laughing and playing games together. This may not only be beneficial for young children but also for parents of young adolescents to develop a comfortable relationship by talking and sharing with them.
• Praise your children for the little things they do. This appreciation goes a long way in building their self-worth, confidence and raising their self-esteem.
• Give your children due respect and listen to them completely when they speak. Listen, maintain an eye contact and give positive facial expressions. This would not only help build mutual trust but also facilitate free expression. It is important to let your children know and realize that their feelings and thoughts are important and valuable for you.
• Give your children the opportunity to participate in decision making. Provide them with choices that stimulate them to think and respond appropriately. Setting extreme limits for your children will only make them throw tantrums or be aggressive in their attitude. Trusting their decisions would encourage them to be more responsible of their actions.
• Do not give in to all the demands of children. However, while saying ‘no’ keep in mind that an explanation is always necessary to enable them to understand the importance of reason/ consequences of actions with time. This process of having healthy conversations may help in eliminating any scope for mistrust or communication gap.
• Don’t frown or lose temper if/when your children falter or make mistakes. Even in your corrective actions add a big dose of encouragement for them to do better the next time. Negative reinforcement tears down their self-esteem which may prevent children from taking up challenges in striving for higher standards in life.
• Stories are a wonderful way of bridging the communication gap, reaching from one heart to another. Children love to hear about their parents, elders etc. Try telling them stories about your childhood, subtly instilling family values in your children. After all, each family has a rich treasure of history and values which it would not want to be washed away with time.
• Encourage your children to shoulder responsibilities, without expecting them to get things right in the first few attempts. Taking care of things themselves instills a sense of pride and a positive attitude about themselves.
• Encourage children to pack their bags according to the time table, themselves. Being responsible for their daily chores would bring about discipline in their lives.
• Don’t stereotype chores as male or female chores. Instead, encourage them to do things together, emphasizing the importance of team work.

LEAVE RULES

Application duly signed by parents/guardians will only be considered for leave. In case of leave on account of sickness for more than four days, the application should be accompanied by a medical certificate.

SCHOOL IS THE BEST PLACE FOR YOUR CHILD TO BE!

World was at the wit’s end when SARS-CoV-2 was first detected in China in 2019 in Wuhan of Hubei Province. Since then coronavirus has become a new threat to humanity and many countries across the world have implemented forced lockdown to tackle the spread of COVID-19. It had a profound impact, not only on people’s health, but also on how they learn, work and live. Among the most important challenges created by COVID-19 is how to adapt a system of education built around physical schools. Before COVID-19 disrupted our lives and forced the students to open their laptops and learn from home, the first day of offline school was a rite of passage — the start of a life-determining journey that has broadly followed the same shape and rhythm for generations. Pandemic has brought about changes in the delivery model of education which was the NEW NORMAL, The education system has made a significant shift during the pandemic and has return to what it once was. Many academic institutions were forced to move their courses online and chose different online platforms (Google-Meet, Skype, Team, Zoom etc.) to impart education.Concept of online teaching learning evolved as a promising alternative to regular classroom teaching. Later, the schools adapted Hybrid teaching that includes the elements of both distance and in-person schooling.

Now, while overcoming the pandemic at Bosco, we are doing everything we can to ensure children can continue to attend school and stay safe. Being together in a classroom is the most effective way for students to learn and grow. Strong and inclusive public education systems are essential to the short- and long-term holistic recovery of society and that there is an opportunity to leapfrog toward powered-up schools. To succeed in life and at work, they will need all the social, emotional, and academic support they can get via rich and flexible learning experiences.

At school, we make every effort to ensure that your ward is safe. Thermal screening is done at the entry gate, constant reminders are given to the students through standees, posters to adhere to the Covid Appropriate Behaviour (CAB), sanitizers are placed at every nook and corner of the school. Emotional support is much needed at this time. School Counselor is available at the school and is ready to address the emotional concerns of your ward. The school ensures to follow the guidelines & advisory of DDMA, Department of Education & CBSE. We urge students and parents to follow the given advisory.
