Attendance on working days in Kolkata

Kolkata schools run West Bengal Board and WBBSE/WBCHSE streams beside ICSE and CBSE campuses that still carry a strong heritage-day-school culture. Puja holidays are not optional footnotes on a calendar imported from another state.

Fees in INR. Tram-and-metro commuting is less of a billed bus product than Mumbai, but contractor routes still exist for suburban campuses. Local named facts include West Bengal Board, WBBSE, Durga Puja, INR. Instrument: holiday master as the only weekday map. INR tuition; development fees should be named heads. April academic year with Durga Puja and local holidays that must be on the holiday master.

Homeroom and period marks still read that map. Late joiners must not be absent before they enrolled. Statutory attendance codes (where they exist) are local. Do not import Ofsted codes onto a CBSE campus by default. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
