Academic Calendar 2011-12
Notice for Parents
SSTPSR follows the academic calendar as it is well-punctuated by terms-breaks slotted in after due consideration. Parents/Guardians are requested not to visit the School before 1400 hrs on the pack-out day. Likewise, they should make their wards available by 1800 hrs on the reporting day. Parents co-operation is sought to avoid any embarrassment to either party.SEPTEMBER 2011
