Reopening Circular: Academic Year 2022 – 2023
(for class EY 1 to A Level)
Dear Parents,

The more things change the more they stay the same. Nowhere is this truer than in the area of school
education. Despite the sweeping changes all around us, paradigm shifts in use of the Internet and social
networking tools, advances in science and medicine, the basic core and structure of schooling stays
unaltered. The student stays at the heart of the entire process. The teaching learning process has continued
undeterred.

To make this journey worthwhile for which we need to work together, we have organized information
packaged in this reopening circular. Please go through the information meticulously just as we have
channelized our energies in compiling it.

save time, energies of the staff involved in the distribution job but also saves the space for retention and
most importantly saves the students from carrying the entire sets home which makes the bag very heavy.
