A special note from Jnanodaya Academy for online classes

Online classes can never be the same as in-person. Parent involvement is vital for these classes to be beneficial, more so for the preschool and elementary children. The children need all the support and encouragement from the families. Thank you very much for your cooperation. It is a three-way (parent-teacher-student) teamwork that benefits all, especially the children! 

A special note from Jnanodaya Academy for in-person classes 

For in-person classes, though the teacher may be checking the work of the children, it is recommended that the parents take active interest in what the children are doing, look into their work, and appreciate, encouraging them to perform even better. Your understanding and cooperation is very much appreciated. It is a three-way (parent-teacher-student) teamwork that benefits all, especially the children!
