Rules for Parents

• The school day starts at 08:00 and ends at 15:45. Students should be present in the classroom before classes begin.
• If a student will not attend school that day, the parent is expected to inform the teacher via message.
• If a student will be picked up by an adult other than their parent, the classroom teacher or school administration must be informed. Otherwise, the student will not be released to that person.
• Students must be at school before classes start and picked up on time at the end of the day.
• Our supervising teacher system operates until 17:00.
• It is important that children with contagious or feverish illnesses do not come to school and that the teacher is informed.
• Changes to phone numbers and addresses must be communicated to the school and teacher in writing and promptly.
• If a student has a special situation, the school administration must be informed.

• Parents are expected to read announcements sent from class groups carefully.
• Students should not bring anything to class other than school materials (toys, etc.).

• Parents are not allowed to intervene with or warn students other than their own child. For solving problems, assistance should be sought from the classroom teacher, guidance unit, or administration.
