TEAM PRAGATHI WISHES ONE AND ALL A SAFE & HAPPY DIWALI!!!

Dear Parent,

Team Pragathi has been making conscious efforts in educating children to become socially, morally, economically and environmentally responsible.

Now, with Diwali just around the corner, there’s a lot of excitement in the air! Children for sure do look forward to bursting crackers. However, Pragathi feels greatly responsible in moulding children to become environmentally responsible. Nevertheless, there could be some kids who might feel that Diwali without crackers is dull and boring. Though bursting or not bursting crackers is one’s choice, our appeal is to ask them to go for eco-friendly crackers. Children who completely refrain from bursting crackers will be awarded with certificates as well. Parents need to fill up the format given below and hand it over to the respective class teachers.

Tomorrow students will be given two/three flyers each to distribute to their friends, neighbours or relatives to campaign for the same.

We request parents to accompany the kids on this project. Please do not allow kids to go alone.

Experience an explosion of joy without crackers. Let’s protect the environment.

Say ‘No’ to Crackers. If unable to resist, go for eco-friendly Crackers…

This Saturday (26/10/13) is a Parent-Teacher meeting day.

Dear Parent,

This Saturday (26/10/13) is a Parent-Teacher meeting day. The meeting is scheduled from 9:30 to 11:30am. The Report Cards of the I Summative Assessment will be issued.

Now, with the commencement of the II Term, the school would focus on getting the children of Std I and above, prepared for all assessments only through the TEXT BOOK. 

Though the notes will be given to the pupils, all preparation for Class tests, Slip tests, Formative Assessments & II Summative Assessment need to be done from textbooks. 

It is imperative to inculcate the habit and seriousness of text book reading as any Public Exam paper will be prepared from textbooks only and not from any school based notebooks.

This further allows the child to understand the concepts rather than to rote learn /memorize word to word from notebooks/class works. Students will be trained on how to read/learn from the textbooks.

Pragathi Circular - Starting from November, 2013 the school will work full day for students of Grades III & above on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Saturdays of all the months - Regd

Dear Parent,

This is to inform you that starting from November, 2013 the school will work full day for students of Grades III & above on the 1^st, 3^rd and 5^th Saturdays of all the months. The 2^nd and 4^th Saturdays of all months will be holidays for students.

The purpose of this initiative is to inculcate Moral Values, Good habits & Life Skills among children with a very practical approach. Each working Saturday afternoon will be split into two slots with each slot spreading over an hour. There will be 1:15 ratio to make sure the sessions are seriously and effectively executed.

Slot – I - Moral Values and Good habits

Slot – II - Life Skills integrated with English language Skills & Public Speaking

All parents will be kept aware of the themes discussed. Further on, all parents are instructed to spend at least 10 to 15 minutes to discuss the same with the child.

Children will be taught a lot of Moral Values/ good habits and life skill activities which requires them to apply every single day. Parents need to follow-up on the same and in case the child isn’t applying, will have to report to the class teacher through a diary note so as to enable us counsel the child and ensure that the implementation is successful. It’s time the home and school together instil a foundation of values on which our children’s future lives will be built.

Note: No permissions, half-day leaves will be granted.
