The School Emblem

An open book and the sun with illuminating rays, placed in the middle of the Emblem, depict a keen desire to spread the light of wisdom. “Shraddhawan Labhate Gyanam ”, The motto of OP Jindal Modern School, conveys that ‘only the devoted attain knowledge’. The open book is an expression of our endless and unflinching efforts to import education to all. Simultaneously, it also indicates that education is a continuous process. The sun-rays unravel our dedication to enlighten the ignorant minds and bring a glimmer of hope to life. They are indicative of the light of knowledge that education brings into the lives of learners.

Parent teacher meeting is a prominent and notable feature of the school curriculum. The motive is close interaction of parents with teachers with regard to the progress shown by their wards and finding workable solutions to the problems coming in the way of development of their ward. The school also conducts special Parent Teacher Meetings for classes X and XII. It is mandatory for all parents to attend the Parent Teacher Meeting. In case of an extreme situation where the parent cannot attend, written intimation should be provided. If the child is not making the desired progress, parents are welcome to contact the Principal, Vice Principal, Headmistress, Class Teacher or the concerned Subject Teacher so as to discuss remedial measures that can be taken. Such meetings however will be arranged on appointments made through the office of the Principal and on no account should parents contact the teachers in their classrooms directly.

Note : Under no circumstance should parents criticize any teacher in the presence of his/her ward for it adversely affects the overall development of a child to a considerable extent and impedes his/her learning process. The child might develop a critical attitude, get de-motivated and might not accord due respect to elders.

Conduct And Discipline

The conduct and discipline of a student is of prime importance at OP Jindal Modern School. It is expected that every student in school behaves in a manner that befits the dignity and honour of the values cherished at his school. Discipline is maintained through understanding and positive attitude. The school believes in Tagore’s philosophy ‘Where the mind is without Fear’. Discipline includes respect for seniors, love for juniors and self-control. Student’s discipline and conduct is recorded in the report card where special columns are made to assign grades according to their behavior. Any student found lacking in conduct and behaviours may be asked to leave the school not withstanding any other achievement to his/her credit. The discipline and conduct records are the basis for the student’s final character certificate, whenever issued.
