Leave and Absence

⦿ Two forms are provided in the student handbook for leave & absence.

⦿ “Leave Record” is meant to be used by parents/guardians in case of a leave required for serious              reasons. The Handbook should be presented in the office that very day, well in time, before the          attendance is taken or else the student will be marked “Absent” by the teacher in which case                  absence fine becomes due.

⦿ A student who remains absent without getting the leave granted should, upon returning to                    school,bring proper entry in the absence record.

⦿ Longer leave must be applied for,by the parents personally, one day in advance.Similarly, no                  application for leave will be granted if submitted through another student when the applicant                himself was present in the school. Application for sick leave will not be granted for more than 3            days at a time.

⦿ Absence of students from class for merely family/social functions is entirely discouraged and the            school does not hold itself responsible for a student who suffers in the daily progress for lack of            strict adherence to attendance rules. Unexcused absence for 10 consecutive days will make a                student liable to have his/her name struck off from the register.

⦿ No Leave will be granted on test & examination days except for some grave reason, in which case,       parents will have to give the explanation personally.
