Attendance & Leave

Ensuring regular attendance is paramount for academic success and school accountability. The Rajendra’s Academy attendance policy outlines the following guidelines:

Students Arrival Time

Students must arrive at school ten minutes prior to the school time. In the event of illness, parents should notify on the school helpdesk no or to the class teacher and note the absence in the written application upon their return. For prolonged sickness, a Medical Certificate from an authorized medical practitioner must accompany the leave application.

School Calendar

Students are expected to attend school on designated working days as per the school calendar. Parents are urged to schedule vacations only during specified breaks to minimize academic and extracurricular disruptions.

Planned Absences

Planned absences require advance notification through the written leave application duly signed by guardians and counter signed by the principal. Half Day leave of absence may be intimated through a note in the Almanac only.

Minimum Attendance

Regular attendance is mandatory, with students expected to achieve a minimum of 85% attendance as per the Central Board of Secondary Education’s affiliation Bye-Laws. Leave of absence is granted only upon prior submission of an application with plausible grounds.

School Events

Student attendance is compulsory during National Observances, Annual Day, Sports Day, and other significant school events.

Disciplinary Actions

Irregular attendance, unexplained absence, habitual tardiness, disobedience, or disruptive behaviour are considered serious acts of indiscipline and may result in expulsion from the school.

Infectious Diseases

Students diagnosed with infectious diseases must adhere to prescribed quarantine periods and provide a fitness certificate upon returning to school.

Punctuality

Punctuality is highly valued at Rajendra’s Academy, and students arriving late must report to the school office/ Coordinator/ Class Teacher by submitting their ID car to mark the late arrival. No pupil is allowed to go home, during the class hours. In case of emergency a duly authorised person comes to take her with a letter from the parents.

Scheduled Assessments

Students are required to attend all scheduled assessments. Prior consultation with the Principal/Coordinator is essential if a student misses any assessment. Missed assignments due to absence must be completed by students. Consultation with the Principal/Coordinator is obligatory in case of missed assignments, with adherence to school guidelines for completion and submission.

This policy aims to foster a culture of regular attendance and academic engagement among students while upholding the standards of discipline and accountability at Rajendra’s Academy.
