REDUCING THE WEIGHT OF SCHOOL BAGS

Dear Parent,

A healthy body is a platform for nurturing a healthy mind. Hence, health, safety and physical wellbeing of students is of utmost importance at DPS Rohini. We aim towards making school life enjoyable and rewarding. The school is conscious that heavy bag is a major concern as it is detrimental to children’s health. Hence, we have been working towards measures to reduce the load of the school bags of our students.

An advisory to this effect had been sent earlier also as well. However, it has been observed that inspite of regular circulation of the information, children are not adhering to the given instructions. Hence, we look forward to your support for the same.

The following measures have been adopted by the school:

• The notebooks for THOTS/Dance/Music, Art file, G.K book, Maths & G.Sc activity file and ASMs are retained in class cupboards.

ASMs will be sent back home as and when required.

We strongly feel that our sincere efforts coupled with cooperation from your side would yield maximum results in controlling the load on the backs of our children. Some suggested measures to be followed by the parents are as follows:

• Please get a light school back pack with two taut stripes for your ward. (You may even weigh the empty bag)
• Students should be encouraged to pack their bags on daily basis and to avoid carrying unnecessary articles, textbooks that are not needed.
• Parents may advise their wards to make a note in the Almanac of the text books to be brought to school as announced by respective subject teachers.
• Parental supervision is essential when a child is setting his bag for the next day as per the Time-Table.
• Please get fabric/plastic pouches for storing stationery in place of big and bulky pencil boxes.
• Children are often in the habit of storing things in their school bags. Therefore, regular cleaning of the school bag is essential.
• Children should be advised to carry light weight bottles in place of heavy thermos flasks.

School is continuously aiming towards the betterment of students. Kindly, be a part of this effort to make this endeavour a success.
