Rules & Policies

These rules and guidelines apply to all students and parents at Jalandhar Public School, Lohian Khas, and are intended to help maintain a safe, disciplined and supportive environment for every child.

Discipline

  • Discipline is the first and foremost priority. Students must come to school on time and be in their respective classroom at least five minutes before the first bell rings.
  • Regularity and punctuality is an education in itself. Attendance adding up to 80% of the total working days is compulsory for all students. Students with 100% attendance will be given due recognition. Long absence without leave shall terminate a child’s admission; readmission will be subject to the Principal’s discretion.
  • All students should come to school in a proper, neat and clean uniform, with shoes properly polished and nails evenly cut. A student who comes to school in an improper, unclean or dirty uniform will be fined.
  • Valuable articles and money should not be brought to school. Mobile phones are not allowed on the school premises; if a student is found carrying one, it will be confiscated and not returned.
  • All belongings (books, notebooks, tiffins, water bottles, uniform articles) must bear the owner’s name. The school will not be responsible for any such items that get lost.
  • Students must participate in all school activities and functions. In case of unavoidable absence, an application signed by the parents and stating the reason should be submitted to the school office at least three days in advance, failing which the student will be fined.
  • All students are expected to take care of school property and abide by the rules and regulations framed by the school. Any violation will be looked into and dealt with seriously.
  • Politeness and respect are expected from every member of the school community. Rude or argumentative behaviour with teachers or seniors, and bullying of any kind, will be strictly dealt with.
  • Students should complete their work on time and adhere to timelines for assignments and projects.
  • Continuous evaluation of each student is carried out through classroom activities, completion of work, behaviour, participation and attendance, and is reflected in the child’s annual progress report.

The Principal reserves the right to refuse continuation of studies to a student whose conduct or influence is found unsatisfactory.

Examination

The school conducts regular examination schedules to assess the academic progress and development of each student.

Leave and Absence

  • A student who has been absent from class must have the reason entered in the Regularity Record, briefly stating the cause of absence or delay. Reasons of a private nature may be submitted in a letter. Leave of absence is not granted except with prior written application from the parent or guardian.
  • A student who arrives late must show the teacher-in-charge their Regularity Record, duly signed by the Principal, in order to be admitted to the classroom.
  • Repeated absence without a leave application for more than five consecutive days may result in the student’s name being struck off the rolls; readmission, if granted, will be subject to a re-admission fee.
  • All students are expected to be present on the opening day of the school session. Students who return late after a holiday will be fined, except in case of illness certified by a doctor.
  • No student is allowed to leave the school premises during school hours; letters from parents in this regard will not be entertained.
  • A student returning to school after an infectious or contagious disease should produce a doctor’s certificate permitting him/her to do so.
