Our shared expectations for students, families, and volunteers
Effective date: January 1, 2025
Vidyalaya is a community built on respect — for our heritage, for one another, and for the teachers and volunteers who give their time so our children may learn.
Students
- Attend class prepared and on time
- Treat teachers and classmates with respect
- Participate actively and honestly — do not submit work that is not your own
- Follow teacher instructions during class
- Behave online as you would in person — the same standards apply
Parents and families
- Support your child's attendance and preparation
- Communicate absences in advance where possible
- Raise concerns directly with the teacher or school coordinator — not in front of other students or families
- Treat all Vidyalaya staff and volunteers with courtesy
- Honor the volunteer nature of the school — patience and understanding are appreciated
Volunteers and teachers
- Prepare and deliver lessons to the best of your ability
- Treat all students fairly and with encouragement
- Communicate absences and schedule changes to the coordinator promptly
- Keep student information confidential
- Follow all school policies, including those on media and communications
Consequences
Conduct that disrupts class or harms the experience of others will be addressed in steps: informal discussion, formal warning, and if necessary, suspension or removal from the program. The school will involve parents before taking formal action against a student.
Volunteers who do not meet these standards may be asked to step back from their role.
