PTA Activities
Parent Orientation Programme
A student's academic and all-round development is not just up to the school. The parents need to be involved at every step to keep track of the progress their ward is making over the academic year. While it may not be possible for them to do so every day, considering they would be busy with their own professional lives, the school offers parent orientation programs to discuss various aspects of the student's schooling.
This parent orientation program is usually held on regular intervals to bring the parents up to speed about their child's progress as well as give them an idea of the various teaching methodologies being employed at the school. By doing so, the parents would be able to implement the learning process at home as well, ensuring the student doesn't lose continuity in learning. They can also suggest other, more creative ways to teach, which could aid in the better learning of the students.
The parents also bring up problem areas they see with their child or with the teaching process so that solutions can be discussed and implemented together.
The way the student is assessed is also discussed in these sessions. There are various assessment methods used and the parents are given a detailed understanding of how the grading works and what the child can do to improve their performance.
