Rules & Regulations

Home › About › Rules & Regulations

Discipline at Child Jesus Matriculation School flows from our motto: Love, Wisdom and Ethics. Our rules are not meant to restrict children, but to help them grow into responsible, considerate citizens. We ask every member of our school family to follow them in letter and in spirit, and we request parents to go through these rules with their children at the start of each academic year.

Attendance & Punctuality

Students must attend school regularly on all working days. Leave should be taken only for genuine reasons.
Students should reach school before the morning assembly. The assembly is part of the school day and attendance at it is expected.
Latecomers may be marked late in the register. Repeated late arrival will be brought to the notice of parents.
Leave of absence requires a written request from the parent or guardian, submitted in advance through the school diary or a leave letter.
In case of illness, parents should inform the school office at the earliest. A medical certificate may be asked for in the case of extended absence.
Students must maintain the minimum attendance required by the Tamil Nadu State Board to be eligible for promotion and for the Class 10 board examination.
Students may not leave the campus during school hours without written permission from the Principal.

Uniform & Appearance

Students must come to school in the prescribed uniform, clean and neatly pressed, on all working days, including school functions unless otherwise informed.
Shoes should be polished and socks clean. Hair must be neatly combed and trimmed; girls should tie or plait their hair as per school practice.
Nails must be kept trimmed. Nail polish, mehndi, fancy jewellery and costly accessories are not permitted.
Students should wear their school identity card while on campus and on the way to and from school.
A student not in proper uniform may be sent home or asked to bring a note from the parent explaining the lapse.

Discipline & Conduct

Courtesy and respect towards teachers, staff, elders and fellow students is expected at all times, both inside and outside the school.
As ours is an English-medium school, students are encouraged to converse in English on campus to build fluency and confidence.
Bullying, teasing, fighting and the use of unkind or improper language are strictly forbidden and will be dealt with seriously.
Mobile phones, electronic gadgets and valuables should not be brought to school. The school is not responsible for the loss of money or articles.
Honesty is expected in word and deed. Any damage or wrongdoing should be reported promptly to the class teacher.
Students represent the school wherever they go. Good behaviour is expected on the road, in public places and at school events.
Transistors, comics and any objectionable literature must not be brought to school, and food should not be bought from unauthorised vendors at or near the school premises.
Students travelling in the school van must take care of it; any damage caused will be charged at the discretion of the Principal.

Academics & Homework

Students should bring books and notebooks according to the day's timetable. Borrowing from others during class is discouraged.
Classwork and homework must be completed regularly and submitted on time. Parents are requested to ensure a fixed study time at home.
The school diary must be brought to school every day. Remarks entered by teachers should be seen and signed by parents.
Students must appear for all tests and examinations. Absence is permitted only for a valid reason, supported by a letter or medical certificate.
Malpractice of any kind in tests or examinations is a serious offence.
Students who need extra help in any subject should feel free to approach their class teacher. Our teachers are happy to guide them.

Examinations

Pupils absent from an examination without a grave reason will be considered to have failed, and no re-examination will be held.
The marks obtained in the Quarterly, Half-Yearly and Final examinations are taken into account for promotion to the next class.
After each terminal examination, the answer scripts are sent home through the children for the parents' perusal and signature, and should be returned to the school within three days.

Care of the Campus

Classrooms, corridors and the school grounds must be kept clean. Waste should go into the dustbins provided.
School property (furniture, walls, books and equipment) must be handled with care. Any damage caused must be reported, and may need to be made good.
Writing or scribbling on walls, desks and furniture is not allowed.
Students should conserve water and electricity, and switch off fans and lights when leaving a room.
Trees, plants and the school garden are to be respected and protected by all.

Games & School Functions

Every pupil is expected to take part in school games and activities, unless declared physically unfit and exempted by the Principal.
Attendance at official school functions such as the Annual Day, Sports Day and Independence Day is compulsory.

Withdrawal & School Records

A week's notice in writing is required for the withdrawal of a pupil. The request should be signed by the father, or by the mother if the father is no longer living.
The school diary is an official record. It must be brought to school every day and kept with care; a lost diary may be replaced only with the Principal's written authorisation, on payment of a fine.

Guidelines for Parents

Kindly check the school diary every day, and sign remarks and circulars promptly.
Please ensure your child attends school regularly, arrives on time and comes in proper uniform.
Parents are requested to attend parent–teacher meetings and school functions. Your presence means a great deal to your child.
To meet a teacher or the Principal, kindly visit the school office during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and Saturday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM), preferably with prior intimation. The office can be reached on +91 97893 87007 or 04329-241514.
Parents should not enter classrooms or meet teachers directly during class hours, as this disturbs teaching.
If you have a concern, please bring it directly to the class teacher or the Principal. Kindly avoid discussing school matters critically in front of children.
Please inform the school office promptly of any change in address, telephone number or guardianship.

These rules are framed in the best interests of our students and are subject to revision by the school management from time to time. Any changes will be communicated to parents through the school diary and circulars. The decision of the Principal and management in matters of discipline shall be final.
