Transition to Full Day Of School

By Categories: 
Most transitions are painful, but this one is acute. Especially if the kid is 3 years old!

Half a day of school is fun as they come back home to have lunch and sleep, doing the very same things in school is a diffrent ball game. However there is hope..........

If you stick to the routine and tide over the first 2 weeks they actually start loving to go to school again. Here are some pointers to make this transition easier

  • Set a routine for everything regarding the kid and the school days.
  • Make the mornings before school fun.
  • Keep the kids updated on what to expect for the day, including snacks and lunch that you have packed.
  • Wake up early and try not to rush through the morning.
  • Don't hurry the kid through his breakfast or toilet/bath time.
  • Before he leaves, tell him about the fun things he can do when he gets back in the evening.
  • Stick to the schedule and keep sending him to school, he's bound to fuss for the first few days.
  • Keep encouraging them to interact with their "friends" at school.
  • Be strong and expect a few tears, the smiles will return in a few weeks time!!

Good luck !

SBOA School Bus and Transport alternatives

By
The School bus facility at SBOA School and Junior College is for students of class LKG to class 5. The fee for the bus ranges from Rs.1800 to Rs.2300 per term depending on the distance travelled. The school bus picks up students from a point on the route closest to the students residence and drops them back at the same point. If the parent is not around to receive the child, the child is taken back to the school and the parents have to arrange to collect their wards from the school. The other option available is to send them via private vans. This is definitely more convenient as the pick up and drop are usually at your doorstep or closer than the school bus drop point and they usually wait for a few extra Min's. The biggest drawback is that all the operators use Mahindra vans(The green boxy ones) and they are not very comfortable. Swaraj Mazda or even a tempo traveller would be nice, but I guess only if a big group of parents go out of their way to find one, the situat...

Sick Leave Policies @ SBOA

By
Amazon.in Widgets Both my Dear Kids are down with a viral fever. Just the third day into a new academic year and panic strikes! Apart from catching up on all that they missed at school, the looming concern for the kids is what the teacher will say..... Mostly teachers are quite understanding if the kids and their parents follow the leave policies. If sick and absent from school for 1 or 2 days a letter from the parent should suffice. For 3 days and more, a medical certificate from a qualified doctor is required. Taking leave for purposes other than health concerns, will have to be intimated before hand. What SBOA does quarterly, is that they communicate to the parent if the attendance percentage is lower than expected and you are supposed to make it up in the coming term. This feedback keeps you on track. Falling sick happens, taking leave for miscellaneous stuff also happens, however, as parents if we stick to the leave policies, we could definitely help our kids not f...
