Absenteeism

• The absence of a student from the school for a single day is viewed with great concern. The guardian should encourage his/her ward not to abstain from the school unless it is absolutely necessary.
• Attendance on the last day of the school before vacation and first day of the school after vacation is absolutely essential.
• However, absence on the first day will be permitted for special reasons with the prior permission of the principal. When a student is absent without prior permission, he will be liable for disciplinary action.
• Student will not be allowed to leave the school early. In case of such a requirement a note of explanation from the parent is to be furnished to the principal. No one is allowed to take days off before holiday not to prolong his/ her holiday after the rejoining of the school.
• Withdrawal of child from classes for frequent social function is not recommended because it retards the child’s progress in the school minimizes his/her respect for regular hard work with consequent failure to progress in his/her studies.
• All leaves will be sanctioned by the principal on receipt of a written request stating clearly the reason for leave. In case of illness, a medical certificate must accompany the leave application.
• In case of illness or other unavoidable reason of absence it becomes the special responsibility of the parents to send a leave note in the diary.
• Absence due to illness should be intimated at once as prior permission is required even for a short period of time.
• A student not reporting within 15 days off is considered withdrawn.
• Attendance before functions and tests in mandatory.
• Absence days prior to examination / unit test will lead to deduction of 5 marks from the grand total.
