An Appeal to the Parents /Guardians

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The parents and the teachers work in partnership for the all-round development of a child. Exams
are usually stressful not just for students but for their parents as well. But, at the same time it is
important to teach students to adhere and respect examination discipline and be proud of it.
Motivate your child to maintain a proper code of conduct for the same.
We finally take this opportunity to thank you for all of your support & patience that you have
and will be providing us over the period of your child’s online examinations.

Regards

Step Up School
