Delhi Public School - Gurdaspur

Thank the parents, kids, teachers, management.

Highlight the achievements of the school.

Msg of positivity and togetherness.

Dear Parents,

It gives me a great joy to usher in session 2021-22 with heartfelt warmth.  Last year has been an extraordinary year, and DPS parents, students, teachers, and management went above and beyond what I thought was humanly possible. I want to take a moment to thank each one of you- a daunting task in the darkness of an untrodden path and you all showed it seems impossible until it’s done!

DPS teachers made impossible possible with their courage, hope, and unparalleled positivity. One can only imagine creating and redoing existing resources for online learning, creating new lessons for a virtual and condensed format, researching and developing methods to engage our students in an online format, creating resources to replace textbooks, redesigning tests for evaluation, engaging parents, and so much more.

DPS students showed great resilience, looked at the challenge in its eye, and followed their teachers on a path for success. I have seen children happily dancing and singing during online classes. I have seen students actively participating in lessons and class discussions. I am encouraged by the contagious courage and optimism the DPS students have, and I am very proud of you all!

DPS parent community has made a lot of sacrifices to make all this happen. I can only imagine how parents must be multi-tasking to support their children, and adapting to the new system of online learning. You all should pat your back because you all did the best you could for your kids.  It was not planned, it was not easy, it was tiring, it was stressful- but you all made the impossible possible.

I would specially like to thank Ms Jyotsna Lakhawat who anticipated and visualized the pandemic, teaching teachers and students to go online with a planned early distribution of text books. We went online on the 18th of march for the first time and the lockdown was implemented on the 24 of March 2020 .... making us perhaps the first school in India to go online!

At the moment, none of us knows what the future holds, but I am happy that we will be doing it together and build on our success story. I wish the DPS Gurdaspur community a successful school year.

Best Wishes

Mrs. Renu Kaushal
