Sick Leave Policies @ SBOA

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 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!

LKG Admissions in Chennai - What should we be looking for?

Admission season is at hand, soon many schools in Chennai are going to throw their gates open to receive applications for the next academic year. Choosing a school is quite a job and sometimes with the options given it's a tough decision to make. Few of the overall criteria to consider are..... 1. Distance from the school - Anything more than the recommended 5km radius is too much of a strain on the kids. 2. Mode of transport - School buses are as vital as good infrastructure in picking a school. If you cant walk to school then the most sensible option would be to use the school bus. So do check if this facility is available and adequate. 3. Board and Curriculum - In Chennai there were a few different boards till most of them were consolidated into "Samacheer Kalvi Thitam". Right now generally the question is between CBSE and The State Prescribed Board. Each has it's advan...
