Dear Parents,

As the academic year 2024-25 is nearing its conclusion, I take this opportunity to share the many glorious milestones achieved by St. Francis School, Mathura, over the past year. This has indeed been a year of progress and growth, and we owe much of it to God’s grace and your continued support.

St. Francis School has always been known for its strong academic foundation and its dedication to nurturing students into well-rounded individuals. Through consistent efforts and corrective measures where necessary, we continue to guide your children towards becoming responsible and compassionate human beings.

Your appreciation for our Science Exhibition is truly encouraging. The event was spectacularly organised and showcased the extensive training our students received to cultivate their scientific temper. We are truly proud of their achievements. 

The school is also committed to fostering a spirit of patriotism and makes it mandatory to celebrate national festivals and religious occasions. This helps students develop a deep respect for our cultural and spiritual heritage. In addition, we regularly organize intra- and inter-school competitions, as well as external contests, providing students with valuable exposure to showcase and hone their talents.

At St. Francis School, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards in education by ensuring the quality of our leadership and faculty. As we enter the new academic year, we are pleased to announce the appointment of a highly qualified and experienced Principal, who will serve as the academic head. Additionally, we have carefully selected well-qualified and experienced teachers to provide quality education and shape a bright future for our students.

We are also delighted to share an exciting development for our school community. On February 10th, the foundation for our new auditorium was laid by our Chairman, in the presence of the Manager, staff, and students. This auditorium has been a long-cherished dream, and we look forward to hosting cultural programs and school events in this dedicated space.

Regarding student transportation, we would like to remind all parents that, as per school policy, transportation must be taken from the school. However, we have observed that many students commute in private vehicles that are not roadworthy and unsafe. While operating Eco-vans would be more economical for us, since the cost of one school bus equals that of seven Eco-vans, we prioritize using school buses because they are specifically designed with safety in mind, featuring sturdy construction. For the safety of all students, we strongly encourage parents to opt for school transportation.

The management is committed to upholding the highest standards in all aspects of education. I would like to mention a few important points here:

Communication: Parents should meet the class teacher once a month (by appointment from the school office) to discuss their child’s progress. Notify teachers of any behavioural changes in your child for timely intervention and counselling. Feedback and concerns can be shared through the School ERP system.
 

Regular Monitoring: Check the school diary and ERP messages daily to stay updated on assignments, teacher remarks, and important notices.

Academic Responsibility: Ensure daily completion of homework, regular revision of lessons, and adherence to the timetable with the necessary books and notebooks. Regularly inspect your child’s school bag to ensure they carry only the required items.

Punctuality & Discipline: Students must arrive on time, wear the proper school uniform, and maintain personal hygiene. Parents and drivers should also be punctual for drop-off and pick-up.

Language Development: Encourage communication in English at home and support daily reading of English newspapers to help improve their English.

Discipline & Cooperation: Work with teachers to instill discipline in students, prioritizing their overall development over personal biases.

Schools play a crucial role in shaping students’ intellectual and moral development. A strong collaboration between parents and teachers will help nurture responsible and well-rounded individuals. Your active participation is essential in fostering a disciplined, enriching, and supportive learning environment for your child. We ask for your continued cooperation in fostering discipline and intellectual development among students. Together, let us create a harmonious environment that enables the school to thrive and function peacefully.

As we prepare for the academic year 2025-26, I extend my best wishes to all of you. May God bless you and your families abundantly, and thank you once again for your trust and support.

We appreciate your continued support in making St. Francis School a safe and nurturing environment for our students.

Warm Regards,

Bro. Julius George CMSF
Manager
