Class Rules/Guidelines
The classes are organized so those students on the same level of the learning curve (regardless of their grade in school) are in the same class. In Hindi and Telugu, we have standard textbooks or teaching material that we will be following. Please make sure you get this information from the teacher. Your help in having them read at home and quizzing them will help their vocabulary and grammar.
Please go through this information carefully and spend some time with your child in understanding these instructions.
Respect for self is respect for others. Children should be attentive and respectful in class, and raise their hands and wait their turn before speaking.
Student should bring two sharpened pencils with erasers, binder (with loose-leaf papers)
to place handouts and class materials.
Students should also bring their textbook to class every day. No sharing is allowed in class. The children are asked to read, write notes, and prepare recitals, and they must have their own book. Sharing disrupts the class.
All Bala Vihar discipline rules provided to the students are also applicable during Language classes.
Chewing gum, drinks, or food should not be consumed in in the classrooms.
Use of smart devices (mobile phones, tablets etc.) is not permitted during any classes. If the child(ren) are found using any of those devices, the teacher will take the smart device from the child(ren) and parents will have to collect it from the teacher..
Parents are not permitted in class unless specifically requested by the teacher(s) to assist in teaching the class or an individual student.
Please make sure that your child
For accountability and safety of children, at least one parent, if not both, should be on campus.
attends the classes regularly and makes a full effort to complete any assignment that is given for the week.
Parents are strongly encouraged to make sure that the children are practicing the language at home. Reinforcing the language skills at home is the ONLY way to advance their command on the language.
Please notify the teacher(s) before class if your child is going to be absent. In the event of sudden illness or emergency, please notify the teacher(s) as soon as possible. The telephone numbers and email addresses of teachers provided may be used for this purpose
To maximize learning and to respect the significant effort teachers put in to prepare for class, please ensure that children attend class regularly and that absences are few and far between, and only due to unavoidable reasons such as illness or other emergencies.
Parents are expected to always supervise their children during the activities ensuring the sanctity of the facility.
Feel free to discuss your child’s progress or needs, or any concerns or questions you may have, with the teacher(s) or Coordinator. We encourage and value parental involvement and input.
