Afternoon activity

Afternoon activities are guided free time activities and are intended primarily for students in the 1st-2nd grade and those who have received a special support decision. Vacancies in the spring application will be filled in the order of application during the academic year as long as there are enough places.

In the middle of the school year, you can inquire about places from the early childhood education secretary.

You can apply for the afternoon activity electronically in the eDaisy transaction service.

Selection criteria when filling afternoon activity positions:

1.     1st grade students for whom a special support decision was made.
2.     1st grade general education students.
3.     Pupils in grades 2-5 who have a special support decision or a recommendation for a place based on pupil welfare grounds.
4.     2st grade general education students.

If there are more received applications than offered places, a lottery will be held in accordance with the order mentioned above. If, for example, after the students who have received a decision for special support in the 1st-2nd grade, all willing 2nd-grade general education students cannot be offered an afternoon activity place, a lottery will be held among the students for free places. Students without a place will then be drawn for alternate places in the order according to the selection criteria.

Applications received after the application deadline will be placed last in their group according to their selection criteria.

Two early childhood education representatives are responsible for the draw.

The Riihimäki city board of education and welfare decides on the monthly fees for the afternoon activities.

Information about the fee exemption for afternoon activities:

The Education and Welfare Board § 41/3.4.2019 has decided that the activity will be exempted from payment for the same period as the family has been granted basic income support by Kela's decision or the family has been granted supplementary or preventive income support by the decision of the city's social services.

The family must return the income support decision as an attachment to the application form as a basis for payment exemption. If the family's information changes during the operating period, the service supervisor at the early childhood education office must be notified. The applications are processed in such a way that any payment exemption becomes effective from the beginning of the month following the receipt of the application.

The guardian must notify the secretary of early childhood education within two weeks after receiving the placement decision, if the afternoon activity placement is not accepted in the coming school year.

The guardian can terminate the afternoon activity position in the middle of the academic year electronically in the eDaisy transaction service. In this case, the payment for the afternoon activity ends at the end of the month of notice.
