For parentsContact with parents/guardians
We like to maintain close contact with the parents/guardians of our students. We want to keep you well-informed about what's happening at school, but also about practical matters. Most communication takes place through the Parent Portal (‘Ouderportaal’), which parents get access to when their child starts at our school. Through this app, parents/guardians can send messages to a teacher, sign up for school activities, report absences, and read newsletters. Teachers regularly write short reports about the school week and post photos, so you, as a parent/guardian, can see and read what's going on in your child's class. Naturally, we comply with privacy laws and only post photos with your permission.
Parent-teacher conferences
Parents are invited by their teacher for a parent-teacher conference at least twice a year. Sometimes your child will be asked to be present as well.
If you would like to discuss something with your child's teacher, you can always call (on school days, preferably after 3:00 PM), schedule an additional meeting, or ask your question via the Parent Portal App.
Coffee Break
As a school, we also like to offer parents the opportunity to get to know each other. Every Monday and Friday morning from 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM, we have a coffee break in the reception area. Welcome!

School hours Daily schedule, drop-off and pick-up moments
All students at our school have a 5-day school week, with Wednesdays being a shorter day. All children eat lunch at school, except for Wednesdays.
In the morning, all grades have a short break and a snack, preferably fruit. Around noon, the children eat their packed lunch and then have a half-hour break.
Grades 1 & 2
Parents/guardians of students in Years 1 and 2 are welcome to bring their children to class every day. They are welcome to stay in the classroom for a short time (until 8:40 AM) for a short chat with the teacher, to look at their son/daughter's work, or to play together. School ends 5 minutes earlier for our grades 1 and 2, so students can be picked up at 14:25 or 12:25 on Wednesdays.
