‘Mothers Orientation Day’ 2011 – 12

The academic year 2011-12 started off at IISJ KG section with great zeal ,enthusiasm and positive spirit at the new premises. Our hope at the beginning of every academic year is that , we ensure the finest level of learning and educating our students. James Russell Lowell  states that  “The best academy is a mother's knee”.- Let it not be just teachers as their role model but also their mothers too. It is for this very purpose that the ‘Mothers Orientation Day’ was held at IISJ KG sec. to enlighten and educate mothers  about their role in educating their children. The anxious and eager mothers had a healthy interaction with the teachers in the new classroom setup.It is wise to recognize the fact that a student spends more than 85% of the academic year under the direct guidance of parents. Parents, especially mothers can therefore ensure that the child acquires good manners regard to elders and teachers ,broad outlook, understanding and adjustment in the changing world around them. This combined with best learning resources available at school will develop children to become pride of their homes and an asset to the school.

It was ascertained that the seed of education is sown in KG and nurturing the impressionable childhood is a divided duty .   We at school, ensure a conducive climate to ensconce  each child and harness his/her mental and physical prowess to the best of their abilities and it will be an added advantage if the same is reinforced at home.

The teachers with illustrative templates aimed at sensitizing mothers on various scholastic and non scholastic issues like assignments ,projects , homework policies, curricular & non curricular  activities, discipline  & classroom behavior and health issues regarding some children.

Assessment policies were presented to the mothers to make them aware of formal and informal testing in UKG and LKG respectively followed by an assessment , evaluation , intervention and follow-up.Teachers reassured their role in building up of mutual respect, trust and an affectionate rapport during  teaching – learning process. An iota of retrospection is warranted on both the sides to achieve their goals.The overall outcome of orientation was to form a triangular union of student , teacher and parent with student centered issues being the focal point and student being the primary benefactor of this union.

The event was wrapped up by the assurance from HM KG Mrs. Ayesha Rafai  with a note that we again will strive to accomplish our set goals and start our new academic year’s resolution to achieve the best for our beloved children given in our charge.
