Notice: Class III – Mindspark

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Mindspark, an e-learning programme (developed by Educational Initiatives) was introduced in our school in 2016-17 as an integral part of our curriculum. It has proved to be an important learning tool for both teachers and students of our school.

We are happy to share that Educational Initiatives is in the process of redesigning the Mindspark website. The new website is to go live from June1, 2018. We have agreed to pilot this new Mindspark website in its developmental stage (which is called the beta version of Mindspark).

As part of the changeover, we would like you to take note of the following points with respect to Mindspark usage by your child –

  • 1. From April 9, 2018 to April 30, 2018 – Students will do Mindspark ONLY in school. (They will not be able to access Mindspark from HOME)
  • 2. From May 1, 2018 to May 31, 2018 – students can access Mindspark at home. The address to access Mindspark is beta.mindspark.in (please note that the address IS NOT www.beta.mindspark.in)
  • 3. From June 1, 2018 – students can access Mindspark from the regular & official website www.mindspark.in

Thank you
Yours faithfully
(D K Chadda)
Principal
