Several communication channels are available to ensure effective communication between parents and the school. Parents may contact the school through email communication, telephone extensions via the school reception, scheduled face-to-face meetings, online meetings when required, and through the official school portal (Edunation).
Parents are encouraged to follow the school communication structure to ensure that concerns are addressed effectively:
Class Teacher: The first point of contact for daily academic follow-up, homework questions, and classroom behavior.
Grade Level Supervisor: Handles academic or behavioral concerns that require additional follow-up beyond the classroom level.
Social Worker: Provides support for student wellbeing, emotional concerns, and social development.
Section Supervisor or Head of Section: Addresses major concerns related to policies or matters that require leadership intervention.
Parents may communicate with teachers through the official school platform (Edunation), email communication, or by arranging an appointment through the school reception. Meetings may take place after school hours either face-to-face or online to ensure teachers have sufficient time to discuss students' progress and needs.
Parents receive regular updates through Edunation announcements, school circulars, newsletters, and official communication from the school. These messages include important information about academic schedules, activities, school events, and policy updates.
