LETTER TO PARENTS

Dear Parent,

Subject : Students Code of Conduct / Evaluation / Cyber Safety Policy.

The school has always appreciated the support that you have extended to us for bringing about a holistic development in our children. As you will agree, the process is a continual one, and so we seek your cooperation in this regard.

The disciplined nature of our children has always been rated at a higher scale by external agencies like the QNSA. It has been made mandatory by the MOE that all policies should be read thoroughly by all stakeholders and signed thereon.

We would hereby advise you to go through the Behaviour policy, the Social Media policy and the Evaluation policy and sign the letter of undertaking for the same.

We are sure that we can collectively make a difference in the lives of our children and make them exclusive citizens of this world.

Regards,

Asna Nafees
Principal

STUDENT BEHAVIOUR FRAMEWORK: DPS-MIS

INTRODUCTION

DPS-MIS is a school with a difference, and this difference is evident in every activity undertaken and carried out in this educational institution. When it comes to discipline of the students, we emphasize on the ‘holistic development’ of the students, as stated in the ‘Vision’ of our school, by inculcating values that enable them to excel in their life. We realise that it is difficult and less effective to ‘control’ student behaviour, but more effective to influence their choices by building positive relationships (for e.g. catching them being good, setting clear agendas, holding high expectations, working on the self-fulfilling vision). The Student Behaviour Framework provides a basic outline to help the students follow the code of conduct and the discipline policies of the school and to help them achieve important behaviour changes.

PURPOSE

To provide a clear guideline about the expected student behaviour for the practice of the teachers, staff, students, and parents.
To establish a climate in which appropriate behaviour is the norm.
To create a positive school climate, a culture of student competence and an open and responsive management system for all school community members.
To provide an effective framework for the individual behaviour and learning supports needed to achieve academic and social success for all students.
To encourage consistency and allow flexibility in the practice of teachers, learning assistants and other staff.
