It is important to spend quality time with your children. In event of the current circumstances of the law and order situation of the country we at <strong>Roots</strong> work<strong>in</strong>g24/7 have organized a shrunk format to keep our students abreast to studies. This “student home stud outreach academic plan” will help them stay <strong>in</strong> touch toacademics and become <strong>in</strong>dependent learners.GUIDELINESDear Parent,Economize your time with your child. Nurture a healthy, eternal perspective that will help your child to weather the <strong>in</strong>evitable storms of life. Let your childdiscrim<strong>in</strong>ate between right & wrong, love the child but reject the specific wrong action of the child. True development of personality is a harmonious blend<strong>in</strong>g ofthe rational & emotional. The art of this amalgamation takes place only if parents are able to show love and control <strong>in</strong> a right proportion.Always remember young children learn best when they follow a rout<strong>in</strong>e. Establish a structure for each day; the daily rout<strong>in</strong>es and schedules create a sense oforder. Children know what to expect, and they understand what is expected of them. The order around them creates a sense of order <strong>in</strong>side them.Worksheets are provided for students but for some topics they might require loose sheets<strong>Roots</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>System</strong>Department for:Quality Curriculum &Teach<strong>in</strong>g Standards Monitor<strong>in</strong>g (DQCA)For further queries email dqca@rootsschool.edu.pkROOTS SCHOOL SYSTEM, Head Office: 74 Harley Street, Rawalp<strong>in</strong>di Cantt., Phone: 051-5568290, 5585731, Website: www.rootsschool.edu.pk
