1.Prejoining Preparation
It is absolutely essential that parents intending to admit their child/ward are prepared mentally to accept that the child will lead his/her life away from parents/grandparents. The child must be helped to be independent in sleeping habits, toilet habits and food habits. It would help therefore, if after registering the son/daughter with the school for admission he/she is shown the school and literature about the school, to ensure that confidence is created and he/she is made to feel comfortable about joining the school, prior to admission. A residential school is a total living experience, educationally planned. It is not a hotel where you can pay and buy services. It is infact, the child's second home where he/she has to spend nine to ten months every year and trust with trust and confidence, therefore, have to be essential ingredients for an effective stay in the school.

2. Leave
Leave is not granted during school term except on health grounds. The programme in the school does not permit absence in the middle of the term. Parents can plan all programmes so as to complete them in the vacation. Wedding ceremonies, birthdays, religious functions in the family and social functions should not disturb the student's life in this educational set-up (this 'ashram') once the school term begins. It has to be remembered that the child is staying away from home to devote himself/herself fully and completely to this learning programme. All leave is granted by the Principal/Headmistress/Headmaster (SSC/CBSE/Primary) on written request (or a telephonic request in the case of sickness emergency) from the parents themselves, (Local guardians in the case of NRI's), and no one else. Communications made through pupils or any third party cannot be entertained.

3. Communication
Students write one letter a week. Parents are also expected to write at least one letter in a fortnight to the child. We encourage letter writing more than telecommunication as we firmly believe in the skill of letter-writing is important and a very personalized form of communication skills. All emergencies, in any case, should be communicated to the Principal / Headmistress / Headmaster (SSC/CBSE/Primary) and /or other responsible persons in the administration, like the Secretary or the Deputy Secretary. Telephone is to be used in emergency situations. Telephone cannot be used as a means of routine communication.

4. Telephone and Trunk Calls
Telephone in the school is meant only for emergencies. Parents are requested never to call the students over the trunk/STD telephone. Here the trunk/STD telephone calls from a distant place involve a long wait-anything from an hour to three or four hours. Obviously students cannot be allowed to waste so much time on waiting. On weekdays therefore, students are not allowed to receive trunk calls/STD calls, even in the evenings, because evenings are also occupied. On Sundays and holidays also it is difficult because students maybe occupied and if they are not, they usually are out on the games field or for rehearsing programmes. If there is anything urgent, the telephone communication should be made preferably with the master-on-Sunday duties or with the Principal / Headmistress/ Headmaster (SSC/CBSE/Primary). Personal telephone of the staff should not be used for any purpose. Telephone calls just for a long chat or only for enquiring about the welfare of the child disturbs the child, keeps the telephone engaged which is meant as an emergency utility. All emergencies and any urgent information is always communicated to the Principal/Headmistress/Headmaster (SSC/CBSE/Primary)/or to the administrative in charge, in the office.

5 .Extra Monies for the Students
Students do not need money in the school. All their personal needs are taken care of. Small pocket money is given to the students once in the term by the school as a part of the total programme. Money is denied on the principle that money should not play a pivotal role in the life of a student in this educational community. Parents are requested not to send or give any money directly to the students. Such money, if sent directly, is liable to be confiscated. Any extra money needed for some special reasons should be sent to the school office. If the parents give any money to the students it gets treated as unauthorized money with the student. Money, therefore, should not be given to the children for any reason whatsoever.

6. Visits
Normally parents and visitors are not expected to visit the students in the school except on the Exeat Leave days. In any case parents will not visit the students anytime for the first two months after the opening of the term, except in case of an emergency, and immediately before or after the exeat leave. Last Sunday in July and first Sunday in August in the first term and the last Sunday in January or the first Sunday in February in the 2nd term are usually marked for exeat leave. Parents are particularly requested to write to the Principal/Headmistress/Headmaster (SSC/CBSE/Primary), and fix up the date and time to see their child on any other weekend for special reasons by previous permission. Permission may be granted in the discretion of the Principal/Headmistress/Headmaster (SSC/CBSE/Primary), the Housemasters and the students too. It is a very awkward situation when few children sit with the parents and eat while others go about their work. It also distracts the child. It is therefore, not permitted. Parents are requested not to visit the dormitories on Sundays and holidays. It disturbs the other students and the staff. They can meet their son/daughter/ward in the visitors’ room on the day fixed for their visits.

7. Personal Eatables
School arranges enough food with a lot of variety for the students. Children get food four to five times in a day. In case parents wish to give extra milk or egg, all such special instructions about extra milk or egg should be given to the office in writing. Any extra eatables are not at all required and not advisable. Students often keep the home tuck for a long time, and they may get tempted to eat the spoilt food. It also affects appetite if students eat food stuff indiscriminately before meals.

8 .Dress
Parents are requested to help students follow all dress codes and other similar patterns laid down for the students to work together happily and constructively. Students can bring only four coloured dresses and not more than one pair of extra shoes/chappals/sandals from home.

9. Special Instructions
(a) All instruction regarding leave, clothes, medicine etc, should be given in writing to the Principal/Headmistress (CBSE/Primary).
(b) Any problem regarding the child / or any other special requests on behalf of the child should be communicated to the Principal/Headmistress (CBSE/Primary).
(c)Information about illness:
The school does not send any information to parents, guardians regarding any ordinary illness like cough, cold etc. involving only about 4-5 days detention in the sickroom, but in cases where a longer duration treatment is involved to in cases to emergency, parents will be immediately informed.

13.Conclusion
We presume that parents have opted to keep the child away from home by keeping trust in the school
(i)To create a special educational community for the child to grow up as a confident and well-equipped human being.
(ii)To take all the safety measures,
(iii)To understand that all in the school have no business but to help this process of growth. No gains or advantages are sought by any other means except by communication
It is possible only with the co-operation of the parents. We expect them to follow these guidelines. We, therefore, seek 'understanding' and 'utmost co-operation' in the implementation of our educational efforts and to ensure the utmost benefit to the one and only beneficiary -and that is your child.
