Important Circular – Cycle Change 2010 – 2011 and 2011 – 2012

Dear Parents (Nursery to Class VI) ,

This is to inform the Parent community on the status of CBSE. We are awaiting inspection for affiliation from CBSE in the coming month/months.

As we all are aware, we begin Class IX in the next academic year.

To align with CBSE curriculum pattern and their CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation) pattern, the academic cycle has to be changed from June-April to April-March.

This cycle change will happen gradually in 2 parts –

Year 2010-2011 for Classes VII and VIII and Year 2011-2012 for Classes I to VI. Pre-Primary academic cycle will remain untouched. This change will not have major effect on main holidays - Diwali , Christmas and May month. Fee installment cycle and other academic and administrative processes and procedures will be modified accordingly. You will be kept informed.

This decision has been made after series of discussions and deliberations within the school core team. We have also taken valuable inputs from other CBSE school Principal’s who have implemented this cycle change.  The PTA and the Class Parent Volunteer group have been taken on board, about the same on a long meeting on 23rd October’10. Parents of Classes VII and VIII have been called this morning for a special meeting as these two classes are directly affected with this change this year.

However there are some implications on the current calendar and program – some events moved and exam cycle pre - poned.  See next page. Make note of changes in your personal school calendar accordingly.

Note –
• Dates not mentioned in this list, remain the same on the school calendar.
• Class I & II - assessment cycle for this current term have been altered .No assessment in November Other dates see in the grid given below.
