Dear Lalitha Teacher, Respected Principal - Ruta Joshi and SMT Eng. Medium Management Team,

I would like to take this opportunity to say " Thank You", for adopting, implementing and very well executing a "New Era - An Online Education Platform", which we all have witnessed along with our kids.

In the beginning, there were mixed opinions from Parents and simultaneously to follow Govt. Guidelines  / education policies...no matter what SMT. has balanced all criteria of primary education, be it number of lectures, be it time of lectures, no's of breaks, extra curricular activities and most importantly concession in school fees along with increase in numbers of installments. All efforts taken by mgmt. are really appreciable.

Patience and Dedication...despite technical glitches, School has overcome all odds and completed the academic year smoothly and timely. It was great "Time Management". We have enjoyed Cultural events, Elocution Competition and Annual Sports etc etc..list is too long BTW.

Looking forward to many more initiatives this year too.

Thank you 

Warm Regards
- Parents of Vedang - 1st Std. Gamma
Siddharth & Harshala Thakare.

Dear SMT team,

On behalf of the entire class of Alpha-2, I would like to extend my appreciation to the entire SMT team for putting up such a wonderful show.

Virtual Sports Day seemed a very different idea. Something we had never heard of. But then the way the program went, it was so thrilling, entertaining and exciting. It was no more virtual but felt just like how we would feel during sports day in school. Each of the exercise n yoga aasans were well thought of and executed.Superb coordination between teachers and students. Amazing efforts by all the children.

Teachers surprise dance performance was the cherry on the cake. It was lovely. Kids loved to see their teachers dance. All of us enjoyed the program thoroughly.

Special thanks to Amrita Wilfred teacher for going that extra mile during practice sessions and costume finalizing.

Thank you and congratulations once again to the entire SMT team for an amazing sports day 20-21.

Regards

end-to-end well organized and coordinated sports day on an online forum by all the teaching staff under
the able guidance of Ruta Mam.

Special Thanks to Amrita Wilfred Teacher for coordinating and planning all kids activities and taking
special efforts for their preparation.

Dear Ma'am,

This year has been a difficult year for all. Online school was something none of us was familiar with, but the efforts put in by the school is commendable.

 Few things I wish to mention:

1.The proactive approach from your end was one of the key to success of our online school. Constantly improving the methods and making changes helped our kids have a smooth year.

  1. All the teachers  have put in so much efforts in terms of the notes, ppt, videos, worksheets, projects or any cocurricular activity, they've all given more than 100 percent.
  2. Special thanks to our Class teacher.... Ms Amrita Wilfred
  3. Every topic was explained clearly and multiple times so that each child in the class understood it. This followed by notes and then worksheets further helped the kids clear any doubts regarding the topic.
  4. Whenever there was some free time teacher would take reading for English and Hindi to improve reading skills of our kids.

3.Also vocabulary game during break time got the attention of kids and helped them increase their interest in the language.

4.Insistence to speak in English during breaks, helping them and correcting them, made  kids confident to converse in English and despite few errors kids consciencly started speaking in English even in the absence of class teacher.

  1. As a PTA, I've been in constant interaction with teacher. She's been extremely supportive, clearing all our doubts patiently, helping us, encouraging us, supporting us throughout this year. She's been a strong pillar for us parents and in bridging the gap between the parents and the school.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank principal ma'am, teachers, staff and amrita teacher on behalf of the entire alpha-2 class for all the efforts that you all have taken throughout this year.

Wishing for a safer, smoother and pleasant year ahead for the school and our kids.

Regards

Sorry teacher not attended the meeting Due to Gargi's health.

Now ,the reason behind this letter, we want to thanks Gargi's all teachers. Last year there was no off line class . First time in our life one things has happened that is online class.

Starting it was difficult for all, but after few days we all became familiar with this new system. kids also enjoyed this online class.

I want to salute you Padmini  teacher. Because it is really tough to handle kids in online class. Some kids are really difficult, but you really handled it very well.  You give your 100%. I understand it is difficult to handle online class as well as home, but you did it very well. 

During online class , you teach Art and Craft for the first time to the students. We are appreciating your work.

You are such a very kind, helpful teacher, you are very soft hearted person.

Now I want to thanks Rajani teacher. She is very sweet with all kids. Rajani teacher really know how to handle kids.I really thanks her. She taught Hindi superbly.

Now I want to thanks Amruta teacher. She is also teaching Marathi as well as Music very nicely.

I want to thanks once again all the teacher's for given their best and making online class successful.

Dear Madam,

My son Saatvik is studying in Beta class of Grade 3. I would like to share my honest feedback about the online sessions and the efforts taken by Ms. Padmini teacher and other teachers.

I'm working outside of India and in December I was in India for vacation. That was the time I watched closely how the online sessions are conducted and how all teachers are putting their efforts in order to make online sessions fruitful. However, this was just a confirmation that my wife was telling me how good the online sessions were getting conducted. I was glad to see that all students were enthusiastic and eager to learn though the sessions were online. I liked the 'Show and Tell' activities and new words learned by students.

I would like to mention Padmini teacher and all other teachers who were putting their 100% efforts in order to make these online sessions successful. My special appreciation is for Ms. Padmini teacher who was very patient and courteous throughout entire sessions. I like the way she was teaching the topics and ensuring that it is understood by all students. I would like to definitely see her as a class teacher for Saatvik in Standard 4 with all due respect to other teachers.

It was a pleasant surprise for me to see how the sports events were organized. It was much appreciated to engage students in extra curricular activities than study. In Norway, where I'm currently working, even these activities are not yet considered so a big thumbs up for you and your team.

I would like to mention that under your leadership the school is doing a great job. I would like to thank you, your teaching staff and management in making the successful online sessions and other activities. You have set a high bar now and I hope that the level of teaching and activities will continue further in 2021. Thank you very much :)

Best Regards,

Sonali Chavan

Dear Ma'am,
I would like to wish you belated Happy Women's Day on behalf of me and my son Viyaan Patil.
Throughout this academic year it has been very educating and life changing experience for me as
well as for Viyaan. Though this pandemic has brought many hurdles in life and teaching but with
lots of dedication & hardships teachers like you have conquered all such hurdles.
Activities through which children have taught have added many important skills in my son's life and
his way of life has changed a lot. He is nowadays very much keen in learning new things which is
the effort of you all for which I would like to thank a ton. Teachers had paid the same amount of
attention towards every student which in itself was a difficult task as lots of technological barriers came.
For such dedication no words can define your efforts.
Gauri maam I would like to thank you so much for your kind love and support to my son.
You have played the role of a teacher who had played the role of a mother. My son loves you
alot and your kind nature. He will miss you a lot in the coming academic year.
Through this short mail me and my son would like to thank You and all the teachers
and non teaching staff for their kind support and teachings. I am very glad to have such
teachers in my son's life.
Thanks & regards,
Smita Amit Patil

Respected principal mam,

It gives me immense pleasure to write the email to you.

I and my entire family wants to thank the school for taking soo much efforts for kids.
The school has never missed a chance to go extra mile and make the virtual session interactive and
involve the kids from head to toe. Also want to thank Amrita teacher, she has been a support system
for kids during this pandemic time. Every day kids were excited to see her smiling face and learn
some new things from her. Her teaching style is also very extra ordinary which make kids
understand the concepts perfectly.

Again want to thank the entire staff for making this virtual session interesting.

A small request if we can continue the same class for std 3 it will be easy as kids have known each other and would be very happy to see the same faces again.

Respected Lalitha Madam,

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for all the hard work you are taking during the current academic year.

Through daily assignments, worksheets and PPT’s, we have noticed your painstaking efforts.

Anvay is enjoying every class of yours, where he has developed keen liking for all the subjects.

He also likes different Games/Activities conducted by you, to clear the concepts. In “Show and Tell” activity, 

we have marked his enhanced presentation skills.

During this Covid-19 pandemic, SMT is doing an awesome job by conducting online classes, which is definitely

not a simple task.

We are totally aware of issues, concerns and queries you have gone through so far.

Thank you again for all the wonderful work.

With Kind Regards,

Yogini and Kaustubh Sathe

Hello Teacher,

This may look very formal but let me tell you, this is right from the bottom of heart.

We all know the pandemic situation we are facing for so many months. In Spite of this SMT and all

SMTians managed things so well. Earlier too, sometimes I sent thank you letters for all the efforts.

Even though I missed to say thanks sometimes, it was always there for all of you. Today, on the last

day of this academic year, I just can not miss conveying the feelings to you all.

Special thanks to Snehal teacher. Of course to all of them, Avinash Sir, Neha teacher, Rajani Teacher,

PE sir, and Amruta miss (Thanks for teaching those Taals, Manan started taking more interest in Tabla).

But why I am writing about Snehal teacher is, I have seen the efforts she took across the year,

to keep the  students free but in control, to keep them busy with study but at the same time in playful

way to let them enjoy, to let them learn new things even through various games she played with them.

The way she celebrated birthdays,  the way she used to make them comfortable, so on and on.

Love you teacher.

I know you need to visit ENT soon, it's hard to listen to these 35 / 36 chatter boxes at the same time.

But god knows from where you get that strength. Please share the source of this energy :)

I am sure Gamma would definitely ask Principal Madam to give us this teacher again next year.

But we will not be selfish. And I know all teachers are good. Whoever comes will surely take care

of study as well the mental and social status in the current situation.

Hope to get things better soon and hope that things will be back to normal normal, and not new normal.

Sorry the mail has become a little friendly, but these are the feelings. Hope you all don't mind.

Thanks again to all the teachers who taught and who did not teach. And all those who were behind the curtains.

Regards,

Monali Maduskar

Hello All,

My daughter studying under 3 rd std – Beta Class and her name is Aadnya Pankaj Patil.

Due to personal emergency, I was not able to join scheduled call on Friday,  kindly accept my apology for the same

I am taking this opportunity to thank all the Teachers, Principle Madam and Management who took tremendous

efforts throughout the year.

“Online Classes” concept was new for me but Teachers and Principle Madam conducted frequent session

and provided proper guidance and made us comfortable.

Our School not only conducted subject lectures but also conducted Craft, Dance, Music and PE session.

School organised Online Sport Day, celebrated Ganesh Festival, Diwali and Fancy dress etc event also.

Thanks for all this extracurricular activities.

Last but not least about Padmini Madam, appreciate and thanks for your efforts, patience, punctuality and kind nature.

We saw your tremendous dedication throughout the year. You not only shared or posted Class Work and

any activities over Classroom but also ensured students completed the same or not.

You answered and explained each and every queries raised by all the students.

Sometime students raised irrelevant queries but still you revert on the same very patiently.

(I know Aadnya also one of them who raised such kind of queries )

As  parents, we are observing good improvement in our kid throughout the year.

I hope, you remembered, my Mother also appreciated your efforts under one of the online Parent – Teacher meet.

Due to Covid 19, everyone facing Financial crisis but school management considered that fact and

gave us Rs 10,000 exemption from current year Fee Structure.

Thanks for considering that points and gave us relief in Pandemic.

I once again thanks all the Teachers, Principle Madam, Management, Office Staff for your kind support.

Happy Women Day to all respected ladies exist under this mail

 

Regards,

Pankaj Patil


Thank You for all your support.

Wonderful Online sessions you conducted throughout the year.

Our Children are lucky to have a teacher like you.. Thank You so much once again.

Dear Ma'am, 

       We are thankful to you for conducting Online sessions for our kids inspite of having too many hurdles. 

      We salute your forsight vision, thought process, detailing of all minute aspects,   consistent efforts, empathy for the parents and the kids and for taking new initiatives with strong determinations. Hats off to the teachers for their love, patience, passions, unconditional devotions ( lnspite of having a number of duties at home they are managing their professional life with ease and smiling faces). We really admire the planning, implementations and content deliveries.

       We are thankful to our PTA Mr.Sachin Ambre for considering the valuable suggestions given by the parents and strengthening the bond of relationships shared by you, teachers, us and the kids.

       We are blessed to have you all in our lifes as live inspirations. The online sessions conducted are not just the academic aids. They have emotional values as kids really enjoy the interactions with their teachers. Kids are eager and happy to meet their teachers and friends online ( We are sure that they will meet in school very soon.).

         We humbly request you kindly to consider the emotional values ( We are sharing the emotions on behalf of kids as school is a home for them). Kids really miss you all. Let us work together under your guidance to find out the alternatives to ease the process of learning and bridging the gaps. We are always with you. We will be happy to assist you in  continuing a beautiful journey.

Thanks and regards,

Hon. Principal Madam,

With utmost respect and gratitude, I hope this email finds you well!

I am Shreyas Jog (Sahas Jog's father - Alpha division). I was absolutely not prepared for this email. The online sessions till today were taken so fantastically,  the teachers were taking so much effort that even children started responding in a positive manner.

We were even taken voting yesterday in Yes or No for online school by our PTM. In Alpha division, 23 parents have voted for Yes out of 27 (which suffices the majority).  I am slightly confused as to why was even the voting taken if there was a government restriction?

In capacity as a parent, requesting you to kindly find out below mentioned possibilities:

  1. For those, who are in favor of online sessionsshall still continue. 
  2. For those,who are not in favor of online sessionscan discontinue and let their children study on Offline videos and worksheets. 
  3. If you want us to sign any document as a standing letter against the Government restrictions, we can do that. 

We don't even know when the Pandemic of Covid19 will get over, at this juncture it is very important for students to see & follow the teachers to groom student - teacher bond. It is that very bond which keeps my child active and follows the homework, worksheets given by teachers.

I understand, I can only request so do not misunderstand and feel compelled to do anything. The school management will be the final authority to take this decision.

Shreyas Jog

Parent of Sahas Jog (Grade 1 Alpha)

Dear Mam,

We respect decision taken by school & will abide by it.

I would really like to appreciate efforts taken by you and all staff members in making online sessions a wonderful learning journey for kids.

I could see my daughter eagerly getting ready in morning to attend the session. She had something to look forward to in her day. Kids are really going to be heartbroken about this.

Thank you.

Radhika Likhite.

Dear Ms. Kirti teacher,

Idea of the quiz was wonderful. Sahas thoroughly enjoyed it after reading the lesson.

Hello Madam,

I fully agree with Mrs. Shraddha Nerurkar. The teachers of SMT Alpha 2 were taking great efforts to conduct the online sessions. In spite of it being an unfamiliar platform, they were successful in generating interest among the kids, who had started enjoying the sessions. It was the best the school could do in given circumstances. I appreciate and thank everybody at SMT for their efforts in conducting online sessions.

It is unfortunate that the sessions had to be called off.  Let's hope that the education system comes up with a solution which is in the long-term interest of the students.

Regards,

Dr. Manoj Patharkar

Hello,

By looking at lectures and presentations, one can understand the efforts taken by teachers and overall school management. It's very unfortunate that we have to stop in between like this. Was hoping that the govt decision will remain upto SSC board, however it got implemented for our school as well.

Anyways, let's hope for the best. 

Thanks to all efforts taken by teaching and non-teaching staff as well.

Wish happy and healthy days to all of you.

Regards,

Monali Maduskar

Dear Madam,

It's very unfortunate that the school had to stop the online sessions due to the restrictions put forth by the government. Children had definitely started enjoying the online sessions. 

Thanks to all the teachers for their efforts. We know that this platform was new to you as well but hats off to you all for making the sessions interesting for the kids and conducting these sessions effortlessly.

Thanks to the team again.

Hope that these situations end as early as possible.

Stay safe.

We are officially closed for summer still you are taking efforts and devoting your valuable time for these activities.

Really appreciable.

Just 1 suggestion, I guess meeting organizer must be having option of mute/unmute all participants. Just like in zoom.

Since these are small children, they keep pressing unmute button and that create noise.

But inspite of this children are so much exited and come near device much before time. Thanks again.

Hi Principal Madam, Class Teacher, and School Staff,

I hope this email finds you well and healthy.

First of all let me thank all of you for having this wonderful initiative of online classes.

This has not only enabled Swara Kelkar to attend classes from Denmark but also introduced her to this new technology.

Swara along with us is enjoying this experience and she looks forward for the classes every day, even though she has to get up at 5 AM ( Local time ).

Also, please find attached the poster made by Swara. This poster is purely a work by the child and our contribution to this is minimal.

Looking forward to few more out of the box initiative from your side.

Wishing you and yours a healthy week with a little of sunshine and laughter sprinkled in.

Keep up the good work and stay safe.

Dear teacher,

We thank the school for taking on the challenge & conducting online sessions.

Sarthak has thoroughly enjoyed your live sessions. He is more punctual, Sarthak loves the 2 way dialogue - thumbs up, Q&A - you have in a live session. He is very happy to spot friends in the live session. Hence Sarthak is looking forward to sessions & reminds us to switch off Ramayan & log on to phone! We've not faced connection issues on the 2 sessions conducted, at least no parent had complained on the WA group.

Thanks for reading my email. I'm sure school & teachers will do what's best for students. Thanking again for this new initiative.

Regards,

Prasad Patil

Father of Sarthak

Respected Principal Madam & Neha Madam,

My daughter Saanavi Kolambkar is in 02nd standard (Alpha division).

I would like to recognize and appreciate efforts taken by the school & teachers in arranging online interactive sessions during the lock-down period. This was one of the best initiatives.

These sessions definitely helped all kids in learning new things & specially made them understood how to face the camera & interact with others which helped in boosting their confidence. These kind of practical sessions is the necessity in today’s competitive world.

I would like to recommend, going forward at least one online session should be conducted in three months after regular school begins. (I am aware it requires lot of efforts in arranging these kind of sessions).

I am rest assured that Saanavi’s academic future is in correct hands & we are proud to be associated with Saraswati Mandir Trust’s English medium school.

Once again thanks & keep doing the good work.

Regards, 

Darshan Kolambkar
