Parents should communicate regularly with the school and the school should communicate with the parents. With this in mind the Heerawati Madhawanand Saraswati Vihar Sr. Sec. School has put in place a number of processes:
Conferences are held with the parents of all children in kindergarten through grade 9 at the end of the first and third quarter.
Parents may request additional conferences with a teacher at any time throughout the semester.
Please contact the teacher via e-mail, or by calling the school office to request and arrange a mutually convenient meeting time.
Heerawati Madhawanand Saraswati Vihar Sr. Sec. School runs on a quarterly system in which student’s grades are collected and recorded four times a year.
Student progress and achievement are measured by daily marks, tests, class participation, and teacher observation.
Progress is recorded on the OpenSis school database) and may be viewed by parents after certain cut-off dates as announced by the school.
Parents are asked to personally collect report cards from the school at the end of each quarter.
Teachers may initiate personal contact with parents and send a written academic alert as soon as a student is:
failing a course or
receiving a “D” in a course or
beginning to work below his/her ability
For middle and high school students who are struggling in a course, an academic alert may
be sent to parents at the halfway point of each quarter.
