 GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORY
South Point School was founded by the Late Satikanta Guha on April 1, 1954 at
16 Mandeville Gardens, Kolkata - 700 019, with Smt. Pritylata Guha as Associate
Founder. It started with only 20 children and soon made legendary progress in the field
of education. South Point School is run and managed by the South Point Education
Society, which is a part of the M. P. Birla Group of Companies and Institutions. The
M. P. Birla Group is one of the leading industrial Groups in India. It owns a number of
factories producing a wide range of products, including cement, jute, cables and auto
interiors. The Group is well-known for its philanthropic and educational activities. It
supports a number of technical and management institutions, hospitals and schools. It
has set up some of the most prominent educational institutions and hospitals in the
country.
South Point High School, where your children will study from Class VI onwards, is
also run by the same Society. It officially obtained its affiliation with the Central Board
of Secondary Education in the year 2011.
South Point, as it is today, is a large family comprising about 12000 students, 400
teachers and 200 members of non-teaching staff. It has the distinction of being
mentioned as the world’s largest school in the ‘Guinness Book of World Records’ in
the editions from 1984 to 1992.
AIMS & OBJECTIVES
The aims and objectives of the Institution are not only to promote education by
encouraging academic excellence, but also to provide ample opportunities to nurture
all-round development of the pupils and to stimulate and develop creativity in them.
The ultimate aim is development of personality so that they become worthy citizens,
caring for others, and having a sense of duty and responsibility to society.
SCHOOL WEBSITE - www.southpoint.ac.in
It is a most effective tool of quick communication as all important notices and
announcements are posted here. The site answers all queries on admissions, facilities,
co-curricular activities, fees, awards and scholarships meant for Pointers . Through the
“Parents’ Zone’’, guardians can log in to the School portal – Skolaro, where they can
view their ward’s profile. Guardians can also see examination results and follow their
wards’ progress.

9
ENHANCEMENT OF DIGITIZATION
The School has evolved with time and has tried to keep pace with the need of the hour
on use of technology. Certain new features of technology have been introduced and
existing ones further enhanced.
School Portal - Skolaro
The School Portal - Skolaro platform is available both on PC and the mobile phone (via
browser and App) and the student as well as both the parents have their own log-in
credentials. Skolaro is used for multiple purposes, including the ones listed below:
a. School notices
b. One to one communication between the school and parents
c. Fee payment and receipts
d. Student profile view
e. Report cards
f. Helpdesk
The School app “Skolaro” can be downloaded from Google Play/Apple store. The
parent portal can be accessed by visiting www.skolaro.com and clicking on “Login”.
Parents can log in with their user name being the prime Email ID / Mobile number (10-
digit number without +91) as is provided in the school records. For first time login a
generalised password “parent 123” is to be used, which must be reset by the parents
after the first login.

Students can log in to the app/portal with their user name in the form of xx-xxxx.spk
where xx-xxxx stands for the Student ID.

For example, if the Student ID is 10-1234, then the User ID will be 10-1234.spk

For the first time log ins, the default password has been set as date of birth in ddmmyyyy
format preceded by a “s”.

For example, if date of birth of a student is April 10, 2008, then the password will be
s10042008. The password MUST be reset after the first login.

Helpdesk Feature on School Portal

This feature has been developed and integrated with the school portal “Skolaro” which
allows guardians to communicate with the School in a more effective and efficient
manner on various issues. This module is known as “Help Desk” through which
guardians will be able to raise their tickets on various issues pertaining to their wards.
The issue raised by the guardians will directly reach the concerned department which
10
is required to deal with the same and address the issue in a timely and effective manner.
Escalation matrix is automatically built into the solution, in case timely response is not
sent to the guardians. This is available only through the parent log in credentials and
not through the student credentials. The module can be accessed on the School’s web
portal “www.skolaro.com” on a PC or mobile phone and cannot be accessed on the
Mobile App.
The issues for which the tickets can be raised by the guardians along with the possible
cases (for illustrative purpose only) under each issue are given below.
Ticket Type (Pre-defined) Possible Cases (for illustrative purpose only)
Student Profile Updation Change in address, contact details etc.
Academics (Requests) Change in CCA, vernacular, early release etc.
Academics (Issues & Suggestions) Discipline, assignments/homework, assessment, etc.
Application for Certificates & Documents Application for different types of certificates
Administration-Issues & Suggestions Housekeeping, facilities etc.
Fee & Other Related Issues Any issues related to school fees
School Transport Service Any issues related to school bus service
IT-Services Related to Skolaro, Mindspark, Office 365 etc.
Books, Uniform & Other Supplies Related to book shop, uniform etc.
Suggestions & Feedbacks General suggestions
The module comes with the following additional features:
• In case more than one child is studying in South Point, the guardian can raise
separate tickets for each ward
• A unique ticket number gets generated for every ticket which can be used for
future reference
• Documents in various formats can be attached along with the tickets raised as
supporting
• Notification will be sent to guardians whenever there is any activity on the
tickets raised by them
• Tickets can be reopened in case the guardian is not satisfied with the resolution
This feature has been specially developed in the Skolaro platform to enable parents to
raise issues pertaining to their own wards. This should be taken as a replacement of the
requirement to visit/mail the school office for any clarification/requisition etc. and not
as a platform to post matters not related to their wards. The module is available only on
the browser version of the portal.
In case of any issue, please send an email to ithelpdesk.sps@southpoint.edu.in

11
Online Class
Online classes for students may be conducted on a virtual platform as and when
required. The link for these classes will be shared on the School Portal.
Microsoft Office 365
The School has deployed the Office 365 solution for its students and is using its various
offerings, especially MS Teams. The objective is to enable students and teachers with
the features and powers of this product from Microsoft and to enhance digital teaching-
learning process.
MS Teams platform is utilised presently for the purpose of delivery of asynchronous
online education, including assignments, quizzes, uploading of other academic content
etc. The School will also try to utilise the various offerings by Microsoft and other
providers which are linked to MS Teams for a further enriched learning experience of
our students.
Each student is allotted an institutional email ID under the domain southpoint.edu.in to
be used for school related purposes only.
Student Office 365 & Email Usage Policy and Cyber Security
This policy applies to guardians of students and the students themselves, who
have been assigned (or given access to) South Point Education Society’s licensed
Microsoft Office 365 account and an institutional email ID with the domain name
@southpoint.edu.in
The Microsoft Office 365 account and its apps including Exchange (the email
application) are tools that help students get a better learning experience. Their accounts
must always without fail be monitored by their guardians and should not be left
completely on students to handle. In case any guardian has any problem undertaking
this responsibility, please inform the school immediately and we will severely restrict
the usage rights on the account.
For students of South Point up to Class VIII, the emails are configured to be
used internally within the organisation only and not for sending/receiving emails from
outside our domain. Nevertheless, we provide below a list of what constitutes
appropriate and inappropriate use of the same:
Appropriate use of institutional email
Students are allowed to use their institutional email ID for school work-related purposes
without limitations. For example, their email can be used to:
a. Communicate with teachers, other students etc.(subject to school policy),
related to their work.
b. Log in to official software and applications they have legitimate access to.

12
 c. Provide their email address to other students of South Point and teachers for
official purposes.
Inappropriate use of institutional email
Students represent the School whenever their institutional email ID is used. Therefore
they must not use the ID to:
a. Sign up for illegal, unreliable, disreputable or suspect websites and services.
b. Send unauthorized marketing content or solicitation emails.
c. Send insulting or discriminatory messages and content.
d. Intentionally spam other people’s emails, including their teachers and other
students.
e. Conduct personal e-commerce transactions.
f. Share their ID with persons external to the School. The School has the right to
monitor and archive institutional email boxes.
Cyber Security
Email is often a mode of confidentiality breaches, hacker attacks, viruses and other
malware. These can compromise the School’s reputation, legality and security of our
equipment as well as safety of students and staff.
Students and their guardians must:
a. Select strong passwords with at least eight characters (capital and lower-case
letters, symbols and numbers) without using personal information (e.g. birthdays.)
b. Remember passwords instead of writing them down and keep them secret.
c. Change passwords every two months.
d. Not share account credentials with any person under any circumstances, including
teachers and other students.
e. Keep the operating system as well as the downloaded applications on computer as
well as mobile devices updated and also install reputed anti-virus applications.
f. Always be vigilant and identify emails that carry malware or phishing attempts.
• Avoid opening attachments and clicking on links when content is not adequately
explained (e.g. “Watch this video, it’s amazing.”)
• Be suspicious of clickbait titles or headlines used to psychologically compel
readers to crave the information beyond the click.
• Check properly, email ID and names of unknown senders to ensure they are
legitimate.
• Look for inconsistencies or style red flags (e.g. grammar mistakes, capital letters,
excessive number of exclamation marks.)
If a parent/student is not sure that an email received is safe, or in case of any breach of
security please send an email to ithelpdesk.sps@southpoint.edu.in
13
Indiscipline
Students and their guardians should take all steps to ensure adherence to the above
policy. The following, in particular, may attract strict action:
a. Using the institutional email address to send confidential data without
authorization.
b. Sending offensive or inappropriate emails to other students, teachers or anyone
else.
c. Using institutional email for an illegal activity
Mindspark
The school uses Mindspark, a computer based self learning tool that helps a child to
improve his/her skills in Mathematics. It is a medium which provides an active and
adaptive learning environment for the pupils of Classes II to IV. Mathematical concepts
are taught through gamification and the modules activated are in sync with the School’s
curriculum. This programme allows each student to follow a learning path that is based
on the learner’s need and pace. Under this programme, each child is provided with a
tablet inside the classroom and is also allowed access to the programme online while at
home.

ADMISSION AND WITHDRAWAL

Nursery I, Nursery II and Transition
Minimum age of a child for admission to Nursery I, Nursery II and Transition is 3+,
4+ and 5+ respectively.
The general public is informed through advertisement/ notification in the newspapers/
school notice board / school website about the commencement of the admission
process. Registration forms for Nursery I & II are available online through the School
website against a stipulated amount for a period of around 10 days during the months
of June / July.
Registration forms for Transition are available online through the school website in the
month of January. The school shortlists candidates as per its own criteria and parents
of such short-listed children will be required to come to the school along with their
wards for an interaction with the Principal/Vice-Principal.
Classes I to V
In the months of November-December, a notice is put up for admission from Class I to
Class V depending upon the vacancies. Registration Forms are available online in the
month of January.
After receiving the registration forms, computer generated random selection is done
for the seats available.

14
Class VI onwards
Pupils join South Point High School from Class VI and continue till Class X. However,
admission to Class XI is solely on the basis of merit. Due to limitations, the School
cannot admit all its students to Senior Secondary classes. So an important condition of
admission to South Point School is that it carries with it no guarantee, that after passing
the Secondary Examination, a pupil will automatically get a seat in South Point High
School for the two-year Senior Secondary Course.
A one month notice is to be given if a pupil is to be withdrawn from the School.

EVALUATION PATTERN
The school follows the system of continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE).
Nursery I and Nursery II
Evaluation of the pupils’ class performance is on a regular basis. Report Cards
indicating the grades attained, as well as a general report pertaining to the pupil’s
progress are issued twice a year, tentatively in the months of September / October and
March. A Parent-Teacher Meeting is held after the First Term. An orientation
programme is held at the beginning of the new session for the parents of the new pupils.

The pupils are evaluated on the basis of regular class work and no examinations are
held. Class tests are held throughout each term. Report Cards indicating the grades
attained as well as a general report pertaining to the pupil’s progress is issued twice a
year, tentatively in the months of September/October and then in March. The grades
in Report Cards reflect a pupil’s performance in the class. A Parent Teacher Meeting

PRIVATE TUITIONS
Private tuitions do not always help the child to develop into a better student as it induces
a sense of lethargy in the child’s study habits. In particular, we discourage the practice
of private tuitions imparted by teachers of our School to our pupils, as it may at times
generate an unhealthy atmosphere. The Code of Conduct applicable to teachers of
affiliated schools issued by the State Government as well as the Right to Education Act
2009, bar any sort of private tuition.
Conforming to the directives of the government and in continuation of our internal
policies, we declare that private tuition by the teachers of South Point School/ South
Point High School is not allowed at all. We hope to achieve the minimum academic
standard required for all our pupils during the school hours. With this end in view, we
request all guardians to submit an annual declaration to the School, the format of which
will be given at the commencement of the new session.

At the beginning of every session, the School takes online applications for the
enrolment of bus service from the parents who are interested in availing the bus service
for their wards. Please refer to the notice shared on the School Portal regarding bus
facility.
The school in its endeavour to continue to provide increased safety & security to the
students who are availing the school bus services, allows access to all guardians to the
bus tracking solution App ‘NStud My School Bus’. Guardians can use the app to track
the movement of their ward’s school bus on real time basis and get useful alerts. To
look into the safety of the children each bus has female wardens, Panic Buttons, Fire
Extinguishers, CCTV Cameras and First Aid Kits.
The School does not accept responsibility for the safety of the children before the bus
picks them up or after it drops them or for any unforeseen accidents enroute. The school
also encourages availing of one way bus services on a regular basis (for the morning
session for coming to school only and for the afternoon session for returning from
school only).
Rules and Conditions of School Bus Service
1. Besides the I.D. Cards, the pupils must carry distinctive display badges, to be
purchased from the School counter, showing their bus number. Distinctive badges,

26
 particularly for one-way trips (Arrival or Departure), must be carried by pupils
taking such trips.
2. When home escorts bring pupils to and from the bus pick up point, they should be
introduced beforehand to the bus escort for identification.
3. All pupils availing the bus services are required to behave in an orderly fashion· at
all times to avoid accidents and injuries. The School reserves the right to take strict
disciplinary action against any errant pupil.
4. Pupils must turn up at the pick up points on time. In no case will the bus wait for
late-comers.
5. If any home escort fails to turn up on time to receive a pupil, the pupil will be
brought back to School and the guardian will have to collect the pupil from the
School.
6. Guardians are expected to co-operate and bear with situations like delay in or
disruption of bus service for unforeseen reasons, viz. road congestion,
demonstrations and accidents and also absenteeism of drivers and escorts. They
are requested to make their own transport arrangements in the event of such delay
or disruption, particularly during the period of examinations. For the convenience
of guardians, school buses have been provided with mobile phones. In case of an
emergency these numbers may be used :

Bus No. Escort’s Mobile No. Bus No. Escort’s Mobile No.
1 97489 71836 6 97489 71841
2 90621 76181 7 97489 71842
3 90621 78586 8 97489 71843
4 97489 71848 9 97489 71844
5 97489 71840 10 99038 46926

7. Any change in the permanent address should be notified to the Transport

Department in writing, a fortnight in advance for alternative allotment of bus
wherever possible.
8. If discontinuation of bus service is not indicated at the commencement of a new
academic year, the school will presume that the guardian is interested in
continuation of the bus service during the new academic year.
9. Notice for discontinuation of bus service must be given one month in advance or
one month bus fees paid in lieu thereof. Temporary discontinuation during an
academic year is not ordinarily permitted except under special circumstances. No
discontinuation will be permitted after the month of December and no application
in this regard will be accepted after November. Any intimation regarding
discontinuation, change of service etc. should be given to the Transport Department
only.
27
10. If there be any complaint regarding the bus service or the conduct of drivers, escorts
or other children using the bus, the same should be promptly brought, to the notice
of the Manager Administration for appropriate action.
11. Pupils availing of the School bus service normally will not be allowed to go home
with their guardian. In case of an emergency, a letter addressed to the Principal
should be submitted to the Class Teacher. The child will be allowed to go home
with the guardian only after necessary permission has been granted. A recurrent
pattern will not be entertained.
Carpool
The School does not normally encourage use of car pool as a means of transport due to
the inherent risks involved including possibility of the child getting lost. As car pool
attendants take charge of the child on the basis of authorisation by the guardians, the
guardians will have to submit a written declaration exempting the School from all
accompanying hazards.
It is often noticed that persons authorised to collect pupils for car pools do not collect
them on time. As a result these children unnecessarily loiter in the school and
sometimes tend to slip out of the school gate along with other children. In view of the
grave consequence of such incidents, the school will be compelled to detain the
concerned children if they are not collected within fifteen minutes of the scheduled time
and ask their guardians to collect them instead.
MEDICAL CARE
The School employs two matrons who are fully trained to look after ailing children.
Guardians must inform the school about any chronic-ailment of their wards, through a
letter addressed to the Principal. The letter must contain all relevant details including
names of medicines administered regularly.
STUDENT’S SAFETY INSURANCE SCHEME

3. The applicable amount will automatically be debited from the guardian’s account
on the 15th of the first ‘month of every bi-monthly payment cycle as mentioned
in the fee schedule. It is the guardian’s responsibility to keep the bank account
sufficiently funded.
4. In case the NACH transaction fails for any reason whatsoever, guardians are
required to make the payment only through Skolaro Platform or at the School
office by pay order/ credit or debit card along with the applicable late fine and
other charges, if any.
5. In case of failure of NACH instruction, a NACH failure fine of
Rs.100/- will be charged if payment is made by the guardian by the end of the first
month of the concerned bi-monthly payment cycle.
For continuing default, a late fine of Rs 500/- will also be charged for default of
every 15 days on a cumulative basis, till the dues are fully paid. It may be noted
that the fee of any block is to be paid with late fee before the last day of that
particular block, after which the name of the pupil will be struck off from the rolls
and the pupil will not be allowed to attend classes. Results of pupils whose fees
have not been paid will be withheld.
6. Once the fee is paid for any block, a receipt of the fees received under various
heads during that particular block will be available on the Skolaro Platform.
7. In case of any change in the bank account through which a guardian wants to pay
the fees, a fresh NACH mandate needs to be provided to the school which will
need a processing time of at least 60 days.
8. One full calendar month’s notice must be given or fees paid before the pupil is
withdrawn from the School. A Transfer Certificate will not be issued till all dues
are fully paid. A fee of Rs 100 is to be paid for issuing Transfer Certificate.
9. No deduction in fees payable will be made for holidays and/or broken periods.
Fees once paid will not be refunded.
10. It has sometimes been noticed that though a guardian pays fees in advance, the
pupil does not attend School at all or remains absent without leave for a prolonged
period. This is not permissible and the School reserves the right to strike off the
name of such pupils from the rolls. In any case, the name of a pupil, who is absent
for a month without notice and prior permission, may be struck off the rolls.

11. Once the name of the pupil is struck off the rolls due to any reason, the pupil
concerned may be re-admitted, if permitted at the sole discretion of the School
Authority, on payment of all outstanding dues.

alter or introduce any other rule to regulate collection of fees and other charges.
