Like I had mentioned in my last 2-3 posts, looks like better senses prevails our schools and the governing bodies.

Dear parents, it may seem that everything is cool and things have returned to normal in Pune, but it’s only because the media has been instructed not to continue focusing on the Swine Flu 24 by 7.

So just because you are now not bombarded with continuous updates on the H1N1 flu, do not start to relax. Continue avoiding crowded public places unless very important. Leave your kids in the house or with friend’s if you must visit the malls for grocery etc.

Again a reminder , Swine flu is dangerous to younger kids who have still not strong immunity, and dangerous to people who already have respiratory, pulmonary or any other problems.

You can definitely visit your friends if no one in their house has any kind of flu.
Similarly, your kid’s friends can also visit you.

Make sure the hands and face is washed with soap whenever the kids are back home or before they eat food.

Make them use sanitizers if washing of the hands is not possible. ( Sanitizers should not be overused!)

Those kids who have any kind of flu, must wear a mask and avoid going to their friends place. Call your friend’s before you send your kids to their homes.

Eat healthy nutritious food and drink lots of water.
My kids are freaking out on chicken and chicken soup. Another very healthy complete food is Palak / Spinach soup for vegetarians. Make your kids drink lots of drinks like tang / rasna ( I have not researched them yet ). Make them drink tender coconut if they like it. Do not try to make fruit juice at home or buy juice. Give fresh raw fruits, if you want your kids to get all the nutritions in a fruit.

Be happy and keep your kids happy. I have still not started to send them to any of their extra curricular activities yet. I will start only in the middle of the September month.

Since my intuitions are working in sink with the current situation is Pune with respect to the schools and kids, I will continue to follow it and keep you all updated.

As per my intuition only, I would say 31 August our kids should be ready to go to their schools in a safe and healthy Swine flu free environment. So till then take care and be happy. 🙂

Admission time is a big tensionful time for all parents looking to get their kids admitted to the schools of their choice.

I remember the two years I had tried to get information on the internet , from parents in my neighbourhood and from the websites of the schools!

So this is for those parents trying to get dates of the admission for each school. A lot of hardwork has gone into making this information available with surfing the sites to making calls to the school offices. But even after all that hardwork, there is still a chance of the admission dates being changed by the school authorities. 🙂

DPS is the first school in Pune to start its admission process. The non refundable fee being read more…

DPS PUNE SCHOOL, A Benchmark !!!!!!

A critic’s critic is what I can be best described as 🙂

I have very high set of standards when it comes to kids, education, hygiene and anything to do with the tiny tots. 🙂

Since my younger son was happily going to a kindergarten school “Kider Brook” at Kalyani Nagar, I was a carefree mom with no tension of homework, timing was cool 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Next to my home a lane far to be precise :).

So when he completed his nursery and was time for Jr Kg, I was not gonna repeat the mistake of hanging on to a kindergarten , which I did for my elder son. Read my blog on St Mary’s for more.

So come november 2008 and I started checking the DPS website for the form to be downloaded for admissions.
I was glad to find it in the second week of the month. Downloaded the form and took the print-outs. It was a pleasure to the eyes and mind to see very clear, no nonsense form with only required information that was asked for to be filled in.
There were only two things that were needed to be arranged for the registration time read more…

Yippy my son got through ST MARY’S SCHOOL Pune, India !

Feb 24, 2008

 

I am a very proud and free mom today..Why? ‘Cause finally my elder son got through the St Mary’s School in Upper KG ! I should have hunted for schools and admission when he was to go to LKG.

On the day of his written test (imagine that for a 4.5 yr old) and an oral test, I was quite sure he will do well as he is a brilliant learner!

U know, he likes to learn about everything and anything! Such intelligent questions?

One question in the interview was what objects do u use in a rainy day?

He told me all that he cud think of including umbrella, raincoat, gumboots….and then he added ..” teacher u can use newspaper also if you don’t have anything else   !”

I knew I don’t have to worry.

So on the  parents’ interview day , my hubby and I waited for one hour for our turn with butterflies in my tummy!…

  Mrs. Mathew, the director of St Mary’s was smiling and looking through her spectacles. She asked me, “So you are Shourya’s Parents?”  And we replied “Yes”. Not forgetting any of our etiquettes, we pulled the chair to sit down.
Mrs. Mathew who was beaming said with a lovely smile ….” Oh your son has done very well, he is brilliant child! 

Then she asked where my younger son goes. I told her as of now a playschool called Kidder Brook, but will be here after one year to join his brother in St Mary’s.

Hoping to see any change in expression or an answer to counter my far fetched thoughts, I looked into her eyes. read more…

Schools in Pune, India DPS, ST MARY’S, BISHOPS, LEXICON, VIBGYOR…..

Admission time in Pune is harrowing experience for all parents trying to select a school for their kid. I made the blunder of not taking admissions for my kid in Jr kg = nursery.

So when Nov 2007 arrived, I was all geared to get my kid admitted into Delhi Public School, Pune. Its a Co-ed school and CBSE board is followed there. Having done the same board made sense.

The website dpspune.com did not display any information till the first week of November 2007. Then the website mentioned that admissions for all classes except above 1st STD were open.

 The forms were available in the office of DPS School, in NIBM road. When I went there sharp at 10:00 am, click here to read more
