School Transport System

Students can avail the School Transport subject to the availability of seats. The routes of the school buses are planned by the school and the parents should consult the School Transport Incharge for necessary details. School is in the process of implementing digital attendance system for students in buses as well as classes by using I D card. Misuse of the card by way of impersonation can not be ruled out. Any student (or parent) found carrying any other student’s/ parent’s card for marking attendance may lead to his/her (or ward’s) rustication from school due to serious security threat. The date of implementation of the system will be informed to the parents in the current academic year.
