WHAT WE DO |
Home-School Connect |
|
As a school, we strive to develop a strong bond with the parents so that we can jointly work towards the development of each child. Home visits, monthly parent-teacher meetings, sharing curriculum-related information, parenting workshops, parent volunteers in school activities, etc., are some of the ways in which we work towards creating a strong bond between the school and the child's family.
Parents and the School are partners in the odyssey of children' s education. Our Program is based on the realization that children are individuals, developing at their own pace, having distinct needs and varying learning styles and abilities. They need to be given freedom to explore and discover things for themselves along with close guidance by both the teachers and the parents. We appreciate parents' cooperation and support in this endeavor helping us to practice what is best for our children.

PARENTS AS VISITING EXPERTS |
|
|
Redbricks school invites expert faculties and community helpers belonging to a wide range of professions to be an integral part of the student's learning experiences. The visiting experts contribute by sharing their knowledge and skills from the field they belong to. Through such interactions, students gain important insights about the real world and different professions. As a part of this initiative, we also invite parents to contribute as visiting experts in relation to their field of expertise or hobbies. |
|
|
|
Parent Volunteers |
|
|
Events and celebrations are a part of our regular school program. We celebrate various days, festivals, cultural events and even field trips and excursions throughout the year. We request parents' participation as volunteers from time to time for such occasions. Apart from this, parent volunteers are regularly invited to classrooms to support the teaching-learning activities.
