Sick Leave Policies @ SBOA


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 feel threatened when the head back to school after the absence.

Hope they have one less thing to worry when they head back to class!

Into The 2nd Term

The 1st term concluded with almost a month long vacation and the second term started with splash pool sessions! The kids love it. With the class projects going on in full swing, every student and parent has something to do. The themes are varied, from 'homes' to 'helpers'. A lot of activity and energy at school these days. The hand book given to us has all the details of which lesson is done when and is followed meticulously down to the kind of strokes they do, to the art activities for the week. Apart from all this the regular computer classes and PE classes are total fun for the kids. The round of inter house competitions just got over for recitation, singing and story telling. This is the news for now. Bye till I find the time to write another post!
