Parents are requested to communicate with the teachers using the homework diary and sign the diary on a weekly basis.
ASSESSMENT
Teachers assess children through observation as well as setting structured tasks as and when appropriate. At the end of the year children have the final assessment which is used to decide whether individuals are ready to move to the next level or need to remain in the same class.
