MOTTO: Let Love Change Me... 1 COR 13 MISSION STATEMENT: To produce children who will change their Nation through Love and excel in all areas of their live. ENTEBBE EARLY LEARNING SCHOOL RULES AND REGULATIONS Preamble: Entebbe Early Learning School (EELS) has an atmosphere of friendliness. With our motto: "Let Love Change Me", Love is the major driving force behind every motive and activity. The School aims at developing the whole child with all aspects of a child's personality. That is development of child's aspects in regard of age, aptitude and ability. Hence we not only aim at a child's intellectual and physical development but also with the social, moral, emotional and above all spiritual development. EELS is a community in itself and exists within a wider community. It is therefore, important to create an atmosphere in which a child can live happily and safely and play a useful part. We encourage our pupils to care about each other and others-less fortunate, thus the commitment to the LOVE MINISTRY (LOMI). This ministry is under the hospice of Entebbe Early Learning School. We urge them to take pride in their appearance, their work, their school and their home environment. We want them to understand the value of truthfulness, honesty and tolerance, to know the difference between right and wrong and to realize the importance of good manners and personal cleanliness and learn how to cope with real life situation. Therefore we have set the following Rules and Regulations. I. GENERAL A. ACADEMIC 1. Admission - pupils are admitted on merit and are expected to maintain a high standard of academic discipline. There is promotion or demotion at the discretion of the Academic Board of the school. This is done for the benefit of the pupil, parent, teaching staff, school administration and the Nation at large. 2. Class Attendance - For purposes of individual/ group continuity and benefit the school attaches great importance and seriousness to class attendance. Documented evidence of reason for absence from class is always required. 3. Class Discipline - Discipline is key to learning. Participation in classroom activities is part of class discipline. 4.
