Damage
Students must look after the school property and avoid damage. If the damage is caused on purpose, a student pays for it, if it happens accidentally, no payment is necessary. To prevent crime at school, there will be cameras in corridors, cloakrooms, canteen and a library. It will make it easier to see who caused the potential damage.
Punctuality
The school will start at 9:00, but the students can come to school at 8:30 the earliest. They will spend time before the beginning of the school day in a special room monitored by cameras where they will have wifi-fi access and plenty of room for doing classwork, reading, listening to music and other socialising activities.
8:55 all the students must be in their classrooms ready for the lesson. In case students come late, they have to have late arrivals excused by their parents, if the arrivals are unexcused, the parents will be informed immediately.
Work environment
The atmosphere at the lessons should be friendly - students must focus on their work and they can discuss it freely with the teachers. If it is necessary (sickness or toilet), students can leave the classroom with the teacher´s approval. If a student wants to speak in class, they raise their arm, they must not shout or be rude to anyone. To make the atmosphere more friendly and have closer relationship with teachers, we would like teachers to be called by their first names.
In case students need to walk in class to get necessary things for learning, they can freely get them during the lesson.
Every student must look after his/her workplace, keep it clean and in good condition.
Absences
All the absences must be excused either by parents or a doctor. If a child is absent, a parent must call the school/teacher. In case of absence, a student will be excused the following week to have time to catch up with the studies. In case of serious illness, 2 weeks are possible.
In case of unexcused lessons parents will be informed, if the situation continues a student will be punished with lower mark for behaviour.
Uniforms
The school will have no uniforms.
Classroom changes
Each class has their own classroom and the students change for some subjects like ICT, PE, Science, Foreign Languages, Art and Music.
