Schools regularly cooperate with homes' of the pupils. Forms of cooperation between home and the school include, for example, the introduction day for school entrants and the related parents' meeting, parents' evenings, personal meetings with guardians, school parties and joint events, open house days and excursions. The aim of these forms of cooperation is for parents to become familiar with the school's activities and for guardians to be given the opportunity to influence and be heard in matters concerning the student.
An open atmosphere between home and school is a prerequisite for the success of home-school cooperation. The starting point is that teachers and parents trust each other's desire to support the child. This way, as equal adults, they can look for the best for the child in different situations.
Close cooperation, especially in difficult situations, is essential. It succeeds when the parents or the teacher do not feel that they are being blamed, but feel that they get support from each other in their own educational or teaching tasks. In problem situations, the guardian can get consulting help not only from the teacher but also from the student care staff.
