Message

Dear Students

The month of March truly meant the season of Spring

for the School! We witnessed the lively ‘red roses’

(students of classes IX to XII) with bags on their

shoulders entering the school gate with bright eyes and

smiling faces, each behind the mask, marching actively

after a quick thermal check and hand sanitization to

reach their allotted classrooms for taking the annual

examination!

It was such a relief to have you all back that brought life

back to the school, and created an air of exuberance

and fulfilment, not only for you but also for your

teachers who have been communicating with you

online during such a long break!

I guess, you too must have realized the importance

of regular schooling and one-to-one interaction. I

am glad that the online examinations for classes

Nursery to VIII, off line examination for classes IX

and XI, and Pre-Board for classes X and XII have

been conducted successfully.

Finally, we have approached the end of a trying

period and are now prepared to welcome the new

academic session.

With all the safety measures that are being strictly

adhered to in the school, I hope you too will

continue to abide by the precautions that need to be

observed for your own protection.

Regarding the schedule for the next session, you

will be kept informed about the guidelines received

from the D’te of Education.

I welcome you all with optimism of better times

ahead!

Wishing you success,

Principal
