What information do the school authorities need from us?

Usually, the school office sends a checklist along with the circular. Have you checked the portal under the 'Documents' tab? They often hide the specific requirements there instead of putting them in the main email.

Just call the admin office directly tomorrow morning between 9 and 10 AM. I have seen that the circulars are often vague, but the front desk staff is usually clear about what they actually need for their records.

Hi, for most schools these days, they usually need the updated vaccination card, Aadhar card copies of both parents, and the latest salary slip if you are applying for any fee concessions. I had to submit these last week for my daughter’s file, so just keep them scanned and ready on your laptop.

Are they asking for the address proof again? I submitted my electricity bill just last term and I am hoping they don't ask for it again, it's such a hassle to keep getting photocopies!

Don't forget to keep a few passport-sized photos of your child in school uniform handy. My son’s school suddenly asked for five copies last month for the new ID cards and I had to rush to the studio at the last minute.
