Please note:
The students are coming without a notebook and pen/pencil. Please ensure that they get a notebook & pen/pencil.
It is highly recommended for the students to have a binder as I plan to give printouts in most classes. The students need to preserve the printouts to prepare well for the exams later in the academic year.
Parents, please speak to your children only in Telugu to maximize their learning.
