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.
