PPS gives great emphasis on forging a healthy relationship with the parents to better facilitate the learning outcomes of the students. A detailed performance card is prepared for each student by the teachers and regular parent-teacher meetings are organised to acquaint the parents of their child’s progress. Police Public School Raipur also conducts workshops and training sessions in classroom management, communication skills, and subject-related upgradation programmes to help teachers. Principal Shani Mishra says, “In PPS, education doesn’t just mean academics, it’s a combination of values, integrity, morals as well as physical, mental, psychological and social wellbeing. Every activity and lesson taught is a conscientious effort to make the child ready for the different challenges in life. Moreover, we value the trust and faith parents placed on the PPS management and teachers, and hence we make it a point to have healthy parental involvement in the school’s activities.”
