Dear Parent/Student,

We are pleased to welcome you to the ever growing and thriving Bachpan community. We have successfully completed
the Academic Year 2020-21 virtually. We celebrated every single event and milestone virtually starting from
Independence Day, Festival Celebrations, Science Fair and Graduation Day to Annual Day. It was not an easy journey but
it was one where we worked with our teachers, parents and students very closely to achieve the best possible results.

Bachpan Play School is focused on enhancing and improving education with the help of the latest
Technology making learning fun.
We at Bachpan use the following tools to facilitate the online learning process:
1. Google Classroom - Our Learning Management app to share assignments/conduct tests
2. Google Meet - Video conferencing tool integrated with Google Classroom
3. Gmail - Official School Email will be provided to facilitate communication between students and teachers
4. Parent Portal - SmartSchoolz - Our Parent App

GOOGLE CLASSROOM

This Academic Year we intend to use Google Classroom to enhance the learning process of our Bacchantes. Google
Classroom makes communication easier between teachers and parents/students. It creates a central home for class
activities.
Our IT team has created email IDs for each student. Your email ID and password will be shared with you shortly. You can
use Google Classroom either from your phone or your computer. Once you receive your email ID, we request you to do
the following:
