Rules

Leave & Absence Rules.

How leave is applied for and recorded in the handbook, and the attendance every student must keep.

The numbers that matter

80%

Attendance is compulsory for promotion. Leave is not granted to a student whose attendance has gone below 80%.

Unless specially sanctioned, the school will not grant more than three leaves in a month.

10 days

Unsanctioned absence for ten consecutive days makes a student liable to have his or her name struck off the register.

Use this, never a letter

The ‘Leave Record’ and ‘Absence Record’ are provided in the school handbook itself. Only these ought to be used, not letters.
The ‘Leave Record’ is meant to be used by parents or guardians in case of leave required for serious reasons.
The handbook should be presented at the Principal’s office that very day, well in time, before the attendance is taken — or else the student will be marked absent.
When it is foreseen that a child would be absent on a particular day for grave reasons, it is the responsibility of the parents or guardians to get the leave sanctioned well in advance.
Long leaves must be applied for by the parents personally, at least one day in advance.

Absence

Returning to school

A student who remains absent without getting the leave sanctioned should, on returning to school, bring a proper entry in the ‘Absence Record’ in order to get entry into the class.

Family functions

Absence from class for merely family or social functions is highly discouraged, and the school does not hold itself responsible for a student who suffers in daily progress on account of this.

Missed examinations

The school will not hold a separate written examination for any student who is absent during periodic tests or half-yearly and yearly examinations, for any reason.

Representing the school

When a student represents the school in competitions, games and the like, the handbook is to be signed by the teacher-in-charge; the attendance is marked as present.

Half-day leave

Half-day leaves are not granted. In case of inevitability, parents have to come and apply personally and take the ward along.

Sick leave beyond two days

Application for sick leave of more than two days should carry a medical certificate. The application must be renewed on plain paper if the handbook is in the class.
