The school and the staff are taking all necessary steps to ensure that these classes are held seamlessly. We solicit the co-operation of the parents in providing their wards an independent, quiet study area, strong net connectivity and an operative device to ensure productive learning.

These are trying times and we all are going through this together. In due course of time we will have an online orientation with each class to apprise you of the assessment pattern and other class-specific information.

Hoping that we will all emerge stronger and keep the learning curve moving higher for our students. Stay well connected with the teachers for all necessary instructions. Should you wish to connect with me, you may send me a mail on [email protected].

Notice For Parents

29^th April,2020

Dear Parents,

We refer to our earlier circular dated 15th April, 2020, we have further taken the opportunity to examine the situation as it exists in the present context. We now list hereunder, the policy the school has decided to follow at this time in respect of fees chargeable and their payments.

You are of course aware of the extensive efforts being made by all our teachers to continue the classes online and we are glad that this is helping the students to keep abreast of their curriculum. We have since received further messages of appreciation from some parents and would like to sincerely thank them for their kind words.

At the moment. as per the Government’s directive, the school will remain shut until 10th June .

As regards the payment of fees the following is the decided position:

1. Parents are well aware of the significant increases in costs all around, particularly in salaries and wages, as mandated by the Authorities, every year. Our policy has been to  keep increases in fees at a minimum possible level keeping in view the mandatory increases and other relevant costs. However, in view of the present exceptional circumstances and as already advised, we shall not charge the increase announced for this year and continue charging at the same level as last year, for the time being.

2. Following additional reductions will also become applicable from April, 2020:

             a. Lab fees for Classes IX to XII

             b. Co-curricular fees for all classes

             c. Electricity surcharge from Classes VI to XII

             d. Computer Fees for all classes                                               

          These charges will of course become payable once the school re-starts.

3. Schedule of Payment: Instead of payment of fees at the beginning of each quarter, we have already advised that the last payment for the 1st quarter may be made not later than 31st July viz. in a time frame of 4 months. This facility of relaxing payment of advance quarterly fees until a month after the quarter ends, will continue for the full year 2020-21 and no late payment charges will be levied.

4. We will also provide the facility of accepting payments on a monthly basis, and also via credit card, should the parents so desire, by the end of each calendar month. The payment will have to be made directly at the Accounts office of the school once it reopens.

Students who have taken admissions in the current year and already made payments at the higher levels, will be given appropriate adjustments in the subsequent quarters.

Before closing, we sincerely hope and trust that all of you remain safe. Please do take good care of yourselves.

We close with our best regards to all,

Loveleen Saigal

Notice For Parents

Dear parents,

I sincerely hope and pray that all of you are doing well. In a matter of weeks, COVID19 has changed the way of educating students worldwide. The onslaught of this virus has left the entire world in a state of confusion and uncertainty and we as a BHS family are trying our best to come to terms with it.

 The Management and teachers of Birla High School are keeping pace with changing times by incorporating a variety of ways and means to educate our students. Apart from having regular online classes, a plethora of resources are shared including teacher made videos, ppts etc to keep our pupils engaged in a positive and productive manner. We are giving a number of options to our students.

 Life for all of us has changed and the ‘new normal’ has impacted us all- you, our students, our staff and every one across the globe. We are all constantly praying for the end of these trying times! I would like to thank you for your words of encouragement and suggestions through your mails regarding our effort to reach out to our pupils digitally. It is a new domain and a challenge for all of us. I can assure you that very sincere efforts are being made by the teachers to prepare digital content for their pupils.

Since there were issues regarding the use of Zoom as a platform, we explored further and have tried out other ways of reaching out. This is not to create confusion but an attempt to find the best alternative. My earnest request to you is that none of us were prepared for such a time, it took the teachers some time to work on the email ids of students/ parents , as they have just moved into their new classes. As you are coping with no help at hand for domestic chores, you must understand that the teachers are also struggling to manage all fronts. I have been in constant touch with my team and monitoring their efforts.

Some parents have expressed their concern about shared devices at home by themselves / siblings. We at BHS (Senior Section) have decided that all online classes / sharing of content from Monday 27^th April till 8^th May,’20 will be done between 9 a.m. and 12 noon and again from 3 to 4 p.m. This has been done to structure their timings. On the days they have an online class they will be notified in advance. All classes are supported by digital content which can be viewed later also.

Let our young champions continue to learn at their own pace and bloom beautifully. We are always there to guide them through this unprecedented time and even after. Waiting to be in school with the children post 10^th of June till then take care and stay safe.

Wishing you good health and do take all necessary precautions,

Warm regards,
