A WARM WELCOME TO THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR 2021-’22
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together” – Vincent Van Gogh
Shining a light on the shadow of this pandemic, The Delta Study welcomes you to the new academic year 2021-’22, with new hopes and great expectations. Amidst the pandemic situation, we strive to stay positive and refuse to give up, despite the challenges that may come our way.
It is with much pride and gratitude that we would like to state that our students stood strong and accepted the uncharted avenue of online education, throughout the trying times of the pandemic last year, with the guidance and support of three strong pillars, our Management, our Teachers and our Parents. In this new session, we are looking forward to a continual productive partnership with you, to ensure that our children can achieve their highest potential.
Our teachers are here to guide and support your children and to incorporate innovative teaching styles and modalities in the online process. Whatever the future may bring, given the limitations of the current situation, it will be our endeavour to keep working to accomplish the best we can.
The past virtual year has built a solid bedrock of support system between the school and the parents. Our management has been magnanimous in realizing the financial strain imposed on everyone due to the lockdown and has decided to do away with the annual hike of the tuition fees and to waive off the annual (yearly) fees for 2021-22.
With renewed energy, refreshed enthusiasm, and even greater passion to learn, unlearn and relearn with the children in our virtual classrooms, we take a leap into the new session from June 2nd, 2021.
Kindly note the following guidelines for the same:
1. Online Classes: To ensure smooth progression of the Academic year the school will continue with online classes on Google Meet platform. Students will have to login using their Deltastudy Org id. Details regarding timing and schedule of online classes and activities will be intimated by the class teachers, through Class Signal Groups 2021-’22
2. Time Table: The school will share the online time table which incorporates academic and co-curricular periods.
3. Virtual Classroom: Parents need to make necessary arrangements with regard to uninterrupted and smooth functioning of the online classes, equipping oneself with the necessary electronic device and Wi-Fi connection. A permanent study space at home must be allotted, which is free from any kind of distraction and where parent monitoring is ensured.
4. Uniform: To create a classroom ambience, the students must be in their school uniform.
