No student who has been absent will be allowed to attend class unless the reason for the absence, is recorded by the parents in the 'Record of Absence' sheet of the Almanac. In case a child reports to school without a stated reason parents will be required to meet the Principal otherwise child may be sent back home. There is no provision for half-day leave, except in cases of extreme emergencies with the permission of the Principal. So students who are ill should not be sent to school even on exam/test day. The parents are advised not to fix up appointments with the Doctor during school hours. The school has no policy of holding retest/re-exam

In case of absence of more than three days on Medical Grounds, Medical Certificate and Prescription should be attached along with the Leave application on return of the student to the school.
Parents are informed in the event of serious illness or emergencies and may be requested to come to school to take their child home, if necessary. This requires the parent to provide emergency contact name and phone number accurately for the school to reach the parents. Further, it is also necessary that these details are updated immediately whenever there is a change.
Absence for more than 25% of the total number of working days may result in detention of the child in the same class. On medical grounds too, a student cannot remain absent for more than 40% of total working days.
