The journey of education of my two daughters started with SPS, Gandhi Nagar in the year 2008. My elder daughter was admitted to Class VI. Although the school was fairly new, the approach of the school towards giving personal attention to each student by limiting the number of seats per class really attracted me and my wife. The available facilities were also fairly good. The urge of improving the facilities and the quality of education in the management led me to admit my second daughter in the year 2010. During this journey of 10 years, I have found tremendous growth in the school, its approach towards attaining excellence in education and extracurricular activities is commendable. The level of personal attention given by the school to the child is highly appreciable. My daughters visited different parts of the country and participated in different programmes. The dedication of teachers towards students and the motivation inculcated in students is exemplary. Apart from regular classes, they remain in touch with their students at other times too. Teachers often clarify doubts even during odd hours of late night or early mornings during board exams. I personally appreciate the efforts made by the school authorities and especially the teachers which have led to the success of my daughters. I hope the school will surely be ranked first in the city and the state very soon. Good Luck. Keep the flag flying high.

Dear Ma'am,
First and foremost, accept my sincere congratulations on conducting the online classes so smoothly.
We all are facing this extremely novel & challenging situation due to the pandemic. As a parent, our major concern is our children's safety and schooling.
We are glad to see that the school has been quick in adapting to the need of the hour and switched to an online learning platform. With initial hiccups, the learning system is now stabilized.
It is due to the concerted efforts by the school and the teachers that the classes are running smoothly and efficiently.
We know that the teachers were also not prepared for this and they must be taking great efforts to conduct their classes from the home with limited resources.
We are relieved to see that the academics are not hampered.
Our children follow a set routine, interact with their teachers and classmates, and achieve daily targets, which keep them occupied constructively otherwise it would have become difficult to handle when they are confined to the homes. It keeps them positive and happy. They look forward to the classes.
They are also learning how to handle the digital learning platform which is the future. They have learnt to express themselves and gain command over the language.
We would like the school to continue the Online Learning Classes until normalcy is resumed.
It is a learning challenge for all the stakeholders here, students, teachers, management, parents, we are hopeful that we will make it a success with our team efforts.
With regards,

I am the mother of Sharv Rai KG1 A, and Pradhi Rai V E. He eagerly waits for them. Talking to his teachers and interacting with his friends is the highlight of his day. If even this little semblance of normalcy goes away he'll be a lot more scared and anxious about the current situation. This is his only contact with outside, he is five years old and advised to stay at home. How can we take this little piece of normalcy away? What will he do the whole day? If some of us can't make time for forty-five minutes of the class how will we teach anything at all to our kids?
My elder child is in 5th grade and she is enjoying her classes immensely. They are doing all kinds of experiments, as guided by their teachers. Last week they had an activity about preservatives, as an aware parent, I accept humbly I'd not have even thought about teaching her that. Kids nowadays take their education very seriously, if we stop these classes they'll soon start feeling left behind from their cousins, friends living in another state. Who will repair this despair of being left behind in them?
They are hardly studying 1/5 that of their normal speed. But they are in touch with the syllabus and their teachers. It's not a burden but a blessing to keep our kids driving forward without any anxiety or despair. It guides their whole day into a routine. Please do your best to bypass it or stop this altogether.

During this emergency when conventional class-room teaching is not possible due to the outbreak of the pandemic, online classes have made learning possible at home. It has also provided the students with an opportunity to meet and interact with their teachers and classmates. Online Art and Music classes are helping students to work on their creative skills and breaking the monotony of an ordinary 'trapped indoors' day. In a way, it has made our kids tech-savvy too, which I believe is the need of the hour. The problem arises when these young and inquisitive minds are left unattended by their parents with ultra-modern technology (mobile/laptop).
So, with the combined efforts of teachers and parents, online teaching can be made a safe place for learning for the kids until the school and conventional teaching can be resumed safely. Hence, seeing the current circumstances, I vote for online teaching.
