“Love is the most practical thing in the world. To love, to be kind, not to be greedy, not to be ambitious, not to be influenced by people but to think for yourself – these are

all very practical things, and they will bring about a very practical society.”

- J. Krishnamurti

“The function of education is to give the student abundant knowledge in various fields of human endeavour and at the same time to free his mind from all tradition so that he is able to investigate, to find out, to discover. Otherwise the mind becomes mechanical, burdened with the machinery of knowledge. Unless it is constantly freeing

itself from the accumulation of tradition, the mind is incapable of discovering the supreme, that which is eternal. But it must obviously acquire expanding knowledge and information so that it is capable of dealing with the things that man needs and must produce. So knowledge, which is the cultivation of memory, is useful and necessary at certain level, but at another level it becomes detrimental. To recognize the distinction - to see where knowledge is destructive and has to be put aside and where it is essential and to be allowed to function with as much amplitude as possible - is the beginning of intelligence.”

- J. Krishnamurti

GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS THE HANDBOOK: This handbook has been introduced for you and the school staff to communicate effectively. It is essential that you inspect your child’s handbook every day. All communications must be countersigned by you, so that we know that you have read them. In the event that you wish to communicate with the class teacher, please use the handbook. It is mandatory that the handbook is well maintained and carried to school every day. COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS: School communicates with parents only by SMS and email service provided by Yokibu. As soon as you receive an SMS, it is mandatory that you check your email for details immediately. If you have a problem receiving communication via Yokibu or if there is a change in your mobile phone number or email ID, it must be notified to the office at the earliest, failing which you may miss out on important communications. ROLE OF PARENTS: Collaboration between parents and teachers is essential for the holistic education of the child. With this in mind, the following academic and cultural programmes have been planned.

§ Orientation Meetings for Parents § Report Meeting after Term I and Term III § Class Project Presentations § Kreedotsav – Annual Sports Day § Kalotsav – Annual Cultural Day § Pradarshan – Thematic Exhibition § Mela – Art, Craft, Food and Games Carnival

The specific dates for each of these programmes are indicated under ‘Important Dates to Remember’ in this handbook. Your participation, involvement and co-operation is essential and will go a long way in the overall development of your child.

9

Parents are welcome to meet teachers on any working day. However, a prior appointment is a must, and this should be coordinated with the class teacher. Parents are expected to collect report cards on pre-appointed days. Presence of both the parents is mandatory. Report cards will be handed over only to parents/guardians. CHILDREN AT HOME: If your child expresses physical discomfort before leaving for school, please keep him/her at home and inform the class teacher that very day. The child must be sent to school only after complete recovery from any illness. Please inform the class teacher if your child is under any unusual stress at home (family sickness, death, parental absence, separation, divorce, etc.) This information is vital to the care given at school by the teachers and other staff. After school hours, please encourage your child to play outdoor games. Regulate the time that he/she spends watching TV, using the computer and the internet. Ensure that the internet is used only under your direct supervision. HOMEWORK AND PARENTAL SUPPORT: Homework need not necessarily be written work. The following are some of the objectives in giving homework. § To reinforce and recapitulate what has been taught. § To develop the ability to gather relevant information from various

sources like books, newspapers and magazines. § To further the student’s capacity for self-learning and initiative. § To evaluate the students’ understanding.

The right kind of parental support and supervision is crucial. Parent may need to § actively ensure that homework is done. § sensitively and creatively reinforce what has been learnt, in

consultation with the teacher.

10

§ make sure internet reference is avoided for homework and project work till class VII

§ ensure homework and projects are done by students independently. Parents are requested to check the handbook and notebooks periodically to get an idea of the child’s work habits. Do ensure that children pack their bags according to the timetable and do not overload themselves. COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY: Students are encouraged to accept and share the responsibility of belonging to a larger community. Students are therefore required to § clean their classroom § wash plates and set the dining hall § participate in work on the school campus

CELEBRATION OF BIRTHDAYS: It is a matter of importance to us at school that birthdays are acknowledged in a simple manner. Students should not bring sweets or chocolates to school. Each class or group will find alternative ways to acknowledge students’ birthdays at school. We would like parents to keep birthday celebration at home small and seek different and simple ways of looking at birthdays. If parents and the student are keen on celebrating a birthday at home please ensure that all the students of the class are invited. ANIMALS ON CAMPUS: There are few animals that live on the campus. These animals share the campus with us and are treated with dignity and kindness. However, children are advised to maintain a safe distance from them.

11

GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS An important aspect of growth is order. The school endeavours to nurture a sense of order in the students. This means that all activities at school must be approached with a sense of responsibility to oneself and others at school. While the atmosphere is informal and humane, a sense of propriety is preserved. With this in mind students are reminded about the following norms

§ They cannot leave the campus without a written request from the parent addressed to the Class Teacher. Kindly note the student cannot leave the school without a gate pass.

§ They should not bring expensive or undesirable items to school.

§ Punctuality is seen as an act of responsibility to all concerned. Being regular to school creates a sense of joy and involvement necessary for the student. During the term all students are expected to attend school regularly, plan family vacations during term breaks only. Absence from school is not treated lightly. Parents need to send leave letters with the students in case of ill health or contingencies. It is to be noted that attendance on the first and last days of the term are of particular significance.

§ Students are expected to commute by the school bus only except in case of contingencies previously discussed with the class teacher. On no account will a student drive a motorised vehicle to school.

§ Appropriateness in behaviour and dress is an aspect of learning at the school. We would like students to dress in a manner that reflects consideration for what is appropriate in a place of learning. Sober, ordinary cotton clothes are considered ideal for the school. Clothes with writings on them and tight fitting clothes are not allowed.

§ Farewell party will be organized in the school for classes X and XII towards the end of the academic year. Hosting of parties for farewell, birthdays or other occasions and gifting expensive things to the teachers or other students is considered inappropriate.

These guidelines are not enforced through rewards or punishments. However a clear demand is made on the student body, in unambiguous terms, to preserve a sense of order and correct ethical and moral conduct in the school.

The Song of Life Poems and Parables, J. Krishnamurti

Love not the shapely branch,

Nor place its image alone in thy heart.

It dieth away.

Love the whole tree.

Then thou shalt love the shapely branch,

The tender and the withered leaf,

The shy bud and the full-blown flower,

The falling petal and the dancing height,

The splendid shadow of full love.

Ah, love Life in its fullness.

It knoweth no decay.

“When you see somebody else having more and you having less, and you

compare yourself with that other person, then dissatisfaction comes, but if you do not compare, then there is no problem.”

True education is to learn how to think, not what to think. If you know how to

think, if you really have that capacity, then you are a free human being.
