Dear Parents,
Greetings!!!
"A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them."
As in Excelsior we believe in making the child self inspired learner, being a dedicated reader is a part of it. We can not deny the major role played by books in our lives to inspire us and motivate us. Every month we are honoring one child from each class(grade 1-9) as reader of the month on the basis of their effort and dedication towards reading. I am happy to inform you that children are really motivated to read and many of them are making a remarkable effort. We also have a board in library on which we display names and photographs of the Readers of the month.
We will be sending you all the list of "Readers of the month" in first week of each month for the previous month class wise. Lets all join hands in motivating our children to become more ardent readers.

I vividly remember the year 2011'' had just begun and look ,we are
about to finish..., looking forward to 2012!
We were all so busy with academics,activities, field trips that we
couldn't even perceive that the earth has almost completed one big
revolution !!
Am I sounding weird.....?? Not at all, the entire pre primary has
taken a step forward to feel, talk and work on science and I am one
amongst them .
Yes ,you are right!!! The science week is round the corner and we
would all like to invite you to come and witness these young
scientists at work as we all agree that
Science is an imaginative adventure of the mind seeking truth in a
world of mystery.(Sir Cyril Herman Hinshelwood)

Dear Parents,
Greetings!!!
We areindeed very excited that we are taking our children to different venues for themto have a great fun filled day but at the same time we should not forget thatas a school it is our prime responsibility to instill in them values which areextremely important.
While our children areenjoying in the zoo, Ambience Mall and Adventure Islandthere are millions of kids who do not even get one proper meal at home and wewant to help them. 'Family Vision' an NGO , on their annual Children'sDay event wishes to feed 1000 underprivileged children via a program called "Khushiyon ki Bahaar" .
They need money to be ableto feed them so as a school I thought it is a great opportunity to instill valuesamongst our children.
We have put a donation Box at the help Desk on the 12th,14th and 15th, kindly asks your child to donate whateverhe or she wishes for this good cause from their pocket money. If you want tohelp you may also do so. It can be as small a amount as Rs 50 but those childrenwho some of them are blind./ orphaned will bless us and we will at least letthem have a party on one day and makethem happy.
Thanks

Dear Parents,

Kindly note that this year for Grade VIII we shall be having the Cambridge Checkpoint Examinations at the end of the year in May 2012. A brief about this examination is enclosed. These are external examinations and papers shall be coming from Cambridge and checked by them.
Introduction : Cambridge Checkpoint is an innovative diagnostic testing service. A unique service and an invaluable tool for schools, it enables access to standardized tests that provide feedback on a student's strengths and weaknesses in key curriculum areas. Feedback of this kind is an invaluable source of information. We will be able to make strategic decisions, drawing upon a pool of information and specialist reporting tools built into Cambridge Checkpoint.
Benefits : There are a number of ways in which Cambridge Checkpoint can be used. Some of these are outlined below:
- To test learners’ strengths and weaknesses on entry to a school/course of study
- To use as a guide for setting/streaming
- To inform learners/teachers/parents about suitable exam entries for students, for example to provide evidence about which Cambridge IGCSE tier to prepare for
- To act as a basis for action planning between student and teacher
- To compare teaching groups/schools over years
- To test students’ strengths and weaknesses at the end of the Cambridge Secondary 1
Thank you.
