We are pleased to share with you that the online classes which began post the summer
vacations have been progressing smoothly. We thank you for your involvement and
support. Going forward, we would like to reiterate and reinforce the online protocol
expected during the interaction both in Google Classrooms and Microsoft Teams:

1. Children should enter and leave the class as and when they are asked to by the teacher.
2. They must keep the books and required stationery material as per the shared TT ready on
the study table to prevent wastage of time.
3. It is imperative for children and more importantly, parents, to follow the school appropriate
dress code to avoid any kind of embarrassment for the rest of the class.
