A child’s character is shaped and established during their formative years.
A child spends three-quarters of his day with his parents and one-fourth of his time in school. Given this reality, parents should never believe that they have absolved themselves of responsibility by enrolling their child in a reputable school. Teachers and parents collaborate to support a child’s overall development. Students should be taught to value and take pride in school discipline.

- Parents should review the lessons taught in class and make sure their children complete their homework on a regular basis. Parents ought to be actively and constructively involved in their children’s education. Parents should make sure that projects and assignments are turned in on time. The child will receive secure grades as a result.
- Exam dates, holidays, PTMs, fees, and the child’s academic pattern can all be found in the almanac, annual planner, or website. Please keep it up to date and check it frequently.
CONTACTING
- It is suggested that parents/guardians read their ward’s school almanac every day and take note of any instructions or remarks given there. As evidence that the comments have been read, parents should view and countersign it every day. The objective of commenting may be defeated if this isn’t done.

Depending on the seriousness of the issue, if your concerns are “not addressed” within three working days, you may either send a letter to the principal or seek a meeting with the coordinator, HM, or principal.
- To avoid misunderstandings, the school prefers to communicate directly with parents—not their guardians—about academic performance, behavioral concerns, and any other administrative needs pertaining to the kid.
Accountability

- Spend some time reviewing your notepads, especially on the weekends.

Parents should come in person in the event of an emergency, or an authorized person whose picture is displayed in the Almanac should arrive with the application. Parents could also call the concerned in-charge to relay the information.

- All DPSG parents and stakeholders must have a personal email address in this fast-paced computer age in order to exchange important information about your ward.
PROMOTION AND EXAMINATION

Guidelines for Effective Parenting
- It’s important for parents to spend time with their kids. If parents wish to see their wards achieve their goals, they must give up their free time.
- It is not appropriate to criticize the school, the principal, or the teachers in front of children. The youngster may get confused about adhering to the school’s standards and code of behavior as a result of such criticism, which also fosters disrespect for the institution.
- First and foremost, parents should adhere to the school’s policies, which include paying fees on time, attending all PTMs, and showing up for class when instructed to do so by the principal, the wing head, or the teachers. When the parents respond favorably, the kids will follow their teachers’ directions with ease.
- If your ward has been disciplined by a school teacher, don’t jump to defend him or her. Talk to your child first, followed by the concerned teacher or the HM, to try to find out the cause.
- Never say, “We are earning & doing hard work for you; what we have belongs to you”. Learn to distinguish between need and want, and postpone instant gratification. Bring up kids in a disciplined way.
- At least once a week, parents should examine their children’s baggage and possessions. Parents shouldn’t object if the school authorities inspect the bags, pockets, or bottles because some kids occasionally bring unwanted items to school.
- Children should never be given unsupervised, unmanaged, or unchecked access to the internet or social networking sites, particularly Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Google Chat. Allow the kids to feel awful about it if they do. Given that their ward’s future is at stake, parents should be adamant about their choice. Due of the large amount of offensive content on the internet, these websites encourage distraction. Bad is always bad, and if the child is not watched over and mentored at the appropriate age and period, bad will only get worse.
