As we draw the curtains on the successful completion of the academic year 2023-24, a sense of
gratification and fulfillment fills our hearts. Now, as we embark on the journey of the new session, let us
reaffirm our commitment to creating a supportive and nurturing environment for our children. Here at
MAPS, our commitment remains unwavering: to foster an integrated learning environment enriched with
activities, equipping our learners to adapt to the evolving landscape while staying firmly grounded in our
core values. Extending a heartfelt welcome to students from the USA and Italy and fostering international
exchanges for our students underscore our dedication to holistic learning experiences.

Throughout the past year, our endeavors have been met with remarkable recognition and achievement,
fueling our drive for continuous enrichment. Notably, under the visionary leadership of our school Principal,
the Directorate of Education has honoured our institution as the Best Recognised Unaided Private

dedication, and transformative impact in the realm of education. The school Principal has also been
adorned with a multitude of accolades, notably including the esteemed Principal of the Year 2024 Award
at the 10th Eduleaders Summit and the prestigious Best Principal Award 2023 by the Star Educator Award,
in collaboration with the Education Department of Maharashtra. Equally, our learners have brought

consistent attendance unless absolutely unavoidable. Additionally, please motivate your child to remain dedicated to
his/her studies.

We have implemented policies aimed at offering students the optimal academic and career guidance to achieve their
best outcomes.
I. It is mandatory to attain 75% attendance to appear in Board Exams. Ensure that your ward remains regular and
maintains 85% attendance to enable him/her to take leaves for self-study before the exams.

As per Rule 35 of DSEAR- 1973,

“Head of School will ensure that no student of classes IX to XII (Below the attendance of 60%) will appear in the
examination without the approval of the Director (Education). As per Rule 35 of DSEAR- 1973, the name of
student may be struck off from the roll by head of school on account of continued absence without leave for six
consecutive days by a student after giving the parents or guardian of such student a reasonable opportunity of
showing cause against proposed action.”

The school administration is committed to enforcing these regulations strictly to maintain academic
discipline.

II. Subject wise remedial classes are also arranged to help students improve their weak areas. (schedule given in the
Almanac)

III. To ensure preparation for the Board Exams, unit tests and exams are conducted regularly.

IV. Workshops are organized from time to time to reinforce the learning and to impart important information
regarding skill development and various career avenues.

Our endeavors can yield fruitful results only through collaborative efforts. We kindly request your cooperation in the
following ways: -

❖Students are required to adhere to the school's uniform and maintain a suitable hairstyle. Please ensure that the
uniform is neither worn out nor oversized. If any discrepancies are noted, the student will be requested to purchase
a new uniform. Additionally, it is important to ensure that your child is well-groomed with an appropriate haircut.
Students with beard or long hair will be sent back home.

❖Attendance at all unit tests and examinations is mandatory, as they serve as crucial evaluation tools for both
teachers and students. Consistent revision aids in comprehension and retention of concepts. Marked answer sheets
are returned to students within 3-7 days. Please note that a fine of Rs. 1000/- will be levied for students absent on
exam days requiring a retest.

❖ kindly attend the PTMs as per the schedule given in the school Almanac to remain updated about your ward’s
performance, attendance, conduct etc.

Code of Conduct: The school has a stringent Code of Conduct and your ward is expected to adhere to the same.

prohibited even on Saturdays or when coming to school for a short duration. The phone will be confiscated if found
with your ward. Additionally, a fine of Rs.2000 will be levied as per school regulations.

Also note, minor driving is an offense. Despite previous reminders, it has come to our attention that some students
are driving to school without a valid license. Any student found engaging in this behavior will have their vehicle
impounded, and a formal complaint will be lodged with the police in accordance with the law.
School Fee: We strongly recommend timely submission of school fees through the convenient online payment
method, ensuring a hassle-free process. Alternatively, payments can be made via cheque or cash at any HDFC Bank
