Middle School Rules

1. Start of the school day

For the middle school, pupils are supervised from 8:15 am and lessons start at 8:30 am.

2. Lunchtime

Lessons end at 12:15 pm and resume at 1:15 pm.

Our school does not provide a canteen. Pupils may bring a packed lunch and eat it on site (microwave ovens are available in a dedicated room). In that case the school is responsible for supervising the pupil, which is why pupils may not leave the school between 12:15 pm and 1:15 pm without written permission from their parents.

Depending on the year, various activities are offered after lunch:

board games
library and computer room
worship (once a week)
prayer led by pupils (once a week)
workshops run by parents and friends (painting, juggling, chess, football…)

3. Absences and lateness

a) Absences:

Absences must be reported by phone the same morning, and explained in writing in the home-school notebook as soon as the pupil returns. The pupil hands the note to the school office before going to class.

A medical certificate is required for an absence of three days or more. Please contact the teachers so that the pupil can catch up on missed work.

Please note: let us know about any contagious illness or head lice as soon as it has been diagnosed.

b) Lateness

A late pupil must go to the school office before going to class, to collect a late slip to hand to the teacher.

4. Following your child’s progress

Parent-teacher meetings take place during the first and second terms. It is essential that every parent attends, so that each pupil’s progress can be followed closely.
The home-school notebook is used for communication between parents and teachers. Pupils always carry it with them; please check it regularly.
We ask parents to sign every test and to make sure that homework is done regularly and carefully.
