At BVRTSE Pune, we believe that a student’s success is not just shaped by teachers and textbooks, but also by strong collaboration between parents and the school. When parents take an active role in their child’s education, it builds a powerful support system that helps children grow academically, emotionally, and socially.
That’s why parent involvement isn’t just welcomed—it’s a vital part of our school culture.
Why Parent Involvement Matters
Learning doesn’t stop when a child leaves the classroom. It continues at home—through conversations, routines, encouragement, and everyday life experiences. When parents stay engaged, children benefit in many ways:
- Better academic performance
- Increased confidence and motivation
- Stronger values and discipline
- Improved emotional well-being
- Better school attendance and behaviour
At BVRTSE, we have always recognized the role of parents as co-educators and have built systems that make it easy and meaningful for them to stay involved.
How BVRTSE Supports Parenting Involvement
Together, we’ve outlined a comprehensive support system to empower parents to partner with us through the journey of school:
1. Open and Continuous Lines of Communication
Low trust can undermine a strong partnership. We build that trust with clear and consistent communication. Parents are notified by us via email, mobile application, newsletters, WhatsApp groups, and in face to face meetings. Whether students are reaching academic mark, achieving milestone or a parents’ meeting about school event—we strive to ensure parents are aware and informed.
2. Monthly meetings between parents and teachers
Our teachers meet monthly with parents of their students to discuss everyone’s strengths, challenges, and growth. This is more than assessing the student at one moment in time. Engaging with one another develops a personalized support strategy for the student.
3. Workshops and Seminars for Parents
We hold regular parenting workshops/sessions on a variety of topics, including:
- Positive parenting
- Digital respect, safety, and screen time
- Mental/emotional support for youth
- Career supports during school
These workshops/sessions equip parents with abilities that enhance their direct support of their child in a changing world.
4. Parent participation in school activities & functions
More than guests, at BVRTSE parents participate as contributors; we include parents as:
- Guest speakers
- Volunteering for activities
- Judges for competitions
- Cultural leaders/mentors
The presence of parents reflects pride in their autonomy as learners, while providing value-added support to the school.
5. Fun Learning Together
We also host events where parents and students learn and play side by side—like reading circles, science exhibitions, art days, and family sports mornings. These shared experiences build stronger bonds between home and school.
What Parents Say About BVRTSE
Many parents have told us how their involvement helped them better understand their children and feel more connected to the school. Here are a few sentiments we’ve heard:
“Congratulations on a wonderful assembly you conducted yesterday. It was really heart warming to see all the children perform with so much of confidence and enthusiasm. Each child did a wonderful job and I truly feel that you all are the primary reason behind the success. Assemblies and other events, in a normal world, would have been conducted in the school and parents do not attend those events. However, now with the “school from home” situation, we parents are able to see and appreciate all the hard work which teachers put in these events. Each child is given attention and you all work restlessly to prep them and make them perform so effortlessly. Thank you to all of you and really happy to have you all as Vishrut’s teachers..”
This kind of feedback inspires us to keep improving and innovating our parent engagement efforts.
Advantages for our Students Combining the work of parents and teachers creates a solid support system for students and encourages their motivation to learn. At BVRTSE, our students benefit from:
- A safe and consistent learning environment
- Help with homework and assignments at home
- Better emotional support and guidance

Making Involvement Easy and Flexible
We understand that every family is different. That’s why we offer flexible ways for parents to participate, even if they have busy schedules:
- Online parent-teacher meetings
- Recorded workshop sessions
- School updates via apps and messages
- Online feedback forms for suggestions
We believe that every parent should have a way to be involved, no matter their routine.
Looking Ahead

Final Thought
