Quick updates, important announcements, and event reminders, right at your fingertips!

Dear Parents,

We're excited to announce the launch of new WhatsApp channels as an additional way to share school updates.

These channels will complement our existing communication methods, not replace them.

We encourage you to continue using our regular channels for comprehensive information.

Step 1: Join the District Channel CLICK HERE 

Step 2: Join your School's channel 

If you have multiple children attending different schools, please join all the applicable channels.

About our new WhatsApp channels:

  • Purpose: To share school announcements, events, and important information
  • Communication: One-way channels with posts from administration only
  • Privacy: Channel links should not be shared outside our school community
  • For inquiries: Please continue to use email or phone as usual

These new channels will enhance our communication efficiency. While we encourage your participation, it remains optional.

If you have any questions about these new communication methods, please contact your school office.

We appreciate your continued support and cooperation.
