General Rules

• Although the school is meant primarily for students from the Garhwal hills, other children irrespective of caste and creed may also be admitted.
• Students are not granted leave of absence unless their parents/guardians send in an application and that too for serious reasons only. Parents should not ask for leaves every now and then to attend marriage parties and social gatherings. Those taking leave without the permission of the Principal are liable to dismissal.
• When a student falls ill the Principal should be informed at the earliest and when he rejoins the school, he must bring the excuse duly entered on the LEAVE and ABSENCE RECORD in the calendar, signed by the parent/guardian failing which he may be refused admission to class.
• Students unable to rejoin the classes after the holidays should take permission from the Principal in advance. Defaulters in this regards may find their names struck off the rolls.
• A student coming late to school will not be admitted to class unless he brings a written excuse from home on the LATE ATTENDANCE RECORD.
• No student is allowed to leave the school premises during the hours without the permission of the Principal.
• Parents/guardians should send in an application to the Principal in case they want their wards back home before the school gets over.
• Irregular attendance, habitual idleness, disobedience or improper behaviour towards the teachers and fellow-students – both inside and outside school – are sufficient reasons for dismissal of a student.
• The school authorities may exercise their right of not re-admitting pupils who fail to return within three days after the vacations. Parents and guardians are therefore, particularly requested to cooperate with the school authorities by sending their children back to school on the reopening date, unless a written permission for extension of leave has previously been obtained. Such permission, however, will not be granted save for very grave reasons.
• In case of illness, a medical certificate must be produced within three days of absence of the student.
• If a student continues too be absent for a month, without the previous written permission of the Principal, his/her name will be struck off the roll and in case of his/her rejoining, the re-admission fee will be charged.
• Running about and playing or shouting inside the school is strictly forbidden. However, students are permitted to play on the playgrounds during games periods.
