“What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality”

My thoughts have been very much with all of you over the past few months. In these times of uncertainties the only way forward is to acceptand embrace the challenges; We nay not have any control on the pandemicor the situation at large but we have control over things we can do as individual. We can follow the guidelines and health advisory given by the Government. Socialdistancing and self isolation may be challenging and overwhelming if not taken in the true spirit. Itshould be treated as an opportunity to invest in life changing skills. Newton discovered ‘gravity’and invented ‘Calculus’ while in quarantine. Shakespeare wrote ‘King Lear’ in lock-down. Everycrisis in itself is as an opportunity, to pause, reflect and introspect. The Earth is recuperating andso can we.

I know that you are grappling with new dynamics of finding a balance between work and homewindow, travelling to work under these circumstances, coordinating with online schooling, healthand care of self and family members and hundreds of other issues, all the while working on variouslevels to try and do the right thing for your children. Amidst all this disarray, the first thing do is to maintain your calm and well being. I  want all of us to continue  working together with this newlyestablished rhythm, coordination and team spirit for the betterment of our students’education asbest we can but the most important thing is for us all to emerge from this victorious!. Education isnever just about learning from text books but is about making real life connections; a fact once againhighlighted by this pandemic. Try to work out a normal routine with your kids, with physicalexercise/yoga or meditation as part of everyday ritual. Do spend quality if not quantity time withthem, help them unravel the real life connections, read with them story books, play board games, oryou may choose to watch educational games or videos. Let them learn more about your familyhistory, your childhood anecdotes and connect remotely with your extended family & friends, learn afew life skills like cooking, home management, gardening etc that would stand them in good steadfor their entire life. It is often from ‘boredom’ that great ideas come so let them observe, express,analyze and create.

I’m sure, there are different views as to how educators, parents and other stake holders would likethe blended e-learning system to look, but the feedback about what we currently have in place hasbeen really positive and much appreciated. I would like to take this opportunity to thank ourteachers for their hard work and commitment. What has really come out of my online meetings andconversations with them is how much they miss your children and want them back in class which isalways good to hear! Please let your children know that we are thinking of them and really lookingforward to seeing them as soon as schools reopen.

Holiday Enrichment Activity has been assigned to each student and teachers have tried to make itsimple, creative and joyful. I an indeed happy by the quality and creative work submitted so far bythe students.

Sending my best wishes with this newsletter and we would shortly contact you regarding thecommencement of online classes.

e-PTMTOGETHER WE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN

At ASN school, we believe in long lasting partnershipsbetween teachers and parents. To achieve this aim the schoolconducted and organised a well-planned PTM, aimed toimprove and give positive directions to efforts. The parentswere advised on how to create a protective environment forstudents at home and encourage academic and personalgrowth. Parents were happy to observe the schools efforts toengage children in different activities at home during thesetesting times and were appreciative of presentations, videos,worksheets and teaching material shared with them onregular basis. Teachers were also able to develop a lastingconnect with the students as well as the parents.
