"Punctuality is the Politeness of Kings."— King Louis XVIII of France
The School insists on the students being disciplined, punctual and regular so that they will become winners in life and always be grateful to the School for the informal training they receive.
A. Example by Parents
Parents are requested to set a good example to the students by not smoking, spitting, or chewing tobacco/'paan' in the School Premises.
Parents are not to spit or throw litter within the School Campus. Before washing lunch boxes, parents are requested to throw leftover food in the garbage bins.
DO NOT THROW LEFT OVER FOOD IN THE DRINKING WATER TROUGH, it chokes the outlet. The end sufferer is your child. With the active involvement of the Parent Teacher Association, Special Lunch Sheds with tables, benches and drinking water points have been constructed for the benefit of the students.
B. Parking of Vehicles
i) Parking is to be done at the Parking area outside the rear entrance of the School.
ii) In the interest of the safety of the children, the Traffic Committee of Baramati consisting of the R.T.O., DYSP, Deputy Collector, CEO of Baramati Municipality & President of Baramati Municipality have enforced traffic restrictions near the school.
C. Punctuality and Attendance
In today's world, those who are not punctual will be losers in life. VPBVM strives to instill values that make children winners.
School starts at 7:30 AM. Please see that your child reaches school at 7:15 AM. Coming late causes unnecessary inconvenience and disturbance. It is also a fact that children who do not progress well in school are often those who are not punctual or irregular in attendance.
D. Leave Policy
In case of illness or unexpected circumstances, a letter requesting the Principal to excuse the child for unavoidable absence must be sent to the School Office. In case of illness, a Medical Certificate from a Registered Medical Practitioner must be attached to the letter. A Fitness Certificate is required when the illness continues over a week.
A request in advance for Leave of Absence is to be sanctioned by the Principal if the child is unable to attend school for more than a week for personal or domestic reasons.
ABSENCE WITHOUT LEAVE for Tests or Examinations is treated as having FAILED in that Test/Examination and results in the child getting a ZERO for the same. Please note that Tests/Examinations cannot be preponed or postponed for individual students.
Extra Classes before/after school or on Sundays/Holidays are compulsory. Special permission of the Principal is required to excuse students from such classes. Students who remain absent without permission cannot attend regular classes without a written explanation from the parent or guardian delivered to the Principal in person.
E. Student Escorts
Parents of K.G. and Primary Children who do not personally accompany their children to School are to ensure that the child is promptly escorted to School before 7:15 AM and escorted back home after school is over. Please do not keep your child waiting indefinitely after school. KG and Primary Children are issued with an Identity Card which must be affixed to the uniform.
F. Private Tuitions
Private Tuitions are NOT encouraged. It is both unnecessary and harmful to send K.G. and Primary students for private tuitions. Students may learn incorrect diction, pronunciation, and writing patterns which are difficult to rectify later. Individual attention is rarely given in overcrowded tuition classes.
A teacher serving in our school cannot impart private tuition to a student of our school without the written permission of the Principal. Our teachers are duty-bound to coach weak students, and the school conducts Special Classes for them before or after school hours.
G. Prohibition of Use of Two Wheelers
Students are not permitted to ride two-wheelers (Motorcycles/Scooters etc.) inside the School campus or travel to school using them.
The School strives to mould students into law-abiding citizens. A motorcycle or scooter in the hands of an inexperienced student is a safety hazard that can cause severe injury or worse. Parents are urged to enforce this regulation stringently.
H. Conduct, Detention and Warnings
Corporal Punishment is strictly forbidden in our school. A parent whose child habitually creates disciplinary problems (disturbing classes, not completing assignments, omitting text books) will be given a stern warning by the Principal.
In case there is no positive change in the behaviour of the child, he/she may not be permitted to attend school. In serious cases of indiscipline, parents will be asked to withdraw the child from school.
For students from Stds. V to X, Detention Classes are held after School till 5:30 PM. Specific written work must be completed by the students during detention class. Students are given one day's prior intimation to inform parents.
I. Damage to School Property
Damage caused to school property, movable or immovable, must be made good by the parents. Students guilty of vandalism and willfully damaging school property will face suspension or expulsion from the school.
J. Personal Belongings & Valuables
While all possible care is taken to prevent the personal belongings of the student from being lost, damaged, or stolen, the School is not liable for such occurrences. Bicycles, tiffin boxes, school bags, notebooks, cash, or stationery items are the responsibility of the student.
Girls are not permitted to wear jewelry or ornaments (even artificial). Students are strictly forbidden to bring cell phones, smart devices, or any electronic items to school. Such items will be confiscated and returned to the parent only at the end of the academic year.
K. Accidents and Injuries
Prompt First Aid will be administered in the event of any accident or injury sustained within school premises. If necessary, the child will be taken to a proper medical clinic or hospital, and parents will be informed immediately. Parents will be required to pay the medical bills for treatments.
While due care is taken, the school is not responsible for injuries unless an inquiry finds that the cause is due to direct negligence or disregard of safety norms by an employee of the school.
L. Tiffin Boxes
Parents are requested to provide children with simple, nutritious, home-cooked food. Fast foods should be avoided. Introduce variety over the week to keep children engaged and eating healthy.
M. Birthdays
Sweets and presents are not to be distributed by parents for a child's birthday. The School will provide sweets, a Greeting Card, and a Birthday Gift to every child on their birthday (or on the nearest school day if it falls on a holiday).
