Yes. All students have to register every school year, and pay the registration fee, abide to the registration and school guidelines.
There are several important reasons why student need to register annually. This is a needed function to employ proper record keeping and updating information annually, to serve our students better.
Registration has been a method that has been utilized not just at Samspra, but in good school management policies throughout.
It is important for the school to make sure all students are registered and the school has accurate information related to students: where they live, phone numbers, emergency contact, allergy/ medical information, and other important information that the school requires for our records.
Also, the school has to know that students and parents agree to our policy, guidelines etc,, This is especially important with online classes.
Lastly, class registrations help us to organize our classes based on enrollment of students, their choices of classes, allotting classes, times, levels, to monitor attendance and to paying our teachers.
Kindly register at www.samspra.org and help us manage, organize and work efficiently with students, parents and teachers.

Hema Raja is a dear friend. She is also a Texas certified science teacher, an exquisite classical dancer, and an all-around ray of sunshine!
(I am making this recommendation as a Samspra parent and fan of Hema, and not as an AISD trustee!)
Congratulations Samspra Academy on being named “Global Cultural School“. This is a HUGE accomplishment that is achieved in less than 3 years. We are very proud of the amazing leader and dedicated teachers. We are proud to be part of Samspra Academy!
What can I say, my fear was my kid growing up without having enough linkages to her roots and the richness of heritage she comes from! Surely I feel she is at the right place under the right teachers, who are kindling her interest in culture and a sense of belonging amidst a probable threat of identity crisis, kids like mine might otherwise face. You guys truly rock..teachers who have come together under the roof of Samskar and Parampara and truly upholding it under the banner of SamsPra! A true spirit of diversity, global outlook, and instilling the sense of pride and belongingness to places we come from and the places we are discovering along the way!
“Years and hope to learn even more”
Hi Hema Aunty! This is a bit random, but I joined a dance team at UT today! It’s a non-competitive bharatanatyam and kathak group and I loved being able to dance again with so many people after a year and a half of not dancing. I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate all that I have learned from you over the years and hope to learn even more!
Smt.Hema Raja the head of Samspra is very approachable and a kind person. We are glad to be learning at Samspra
Shiva, my 9-year old son said he loved Samspra Academy summer camp!!! I didn’t expect that Shiva would sit at all in the zoom sessions for that long. You folks did a great job engaging him. And new concepts were introduced which we didn’t think before!!!
