Patastenmäki school

Patastenmäki School is a traditional school in the eastern area of ​​Riihimäki. The school's students study in two buildings, Jukola and Tiilikoulu, but thanks to the godparent class activity, the younger and older students get to know each other. During the year, there are also events common to everyone, for the whole house, in which the preschoolers are also involved as appropriate.

At the Jukola school in Patastenmäki students in elementary grades 1–2, and it works in Jukola's Multipurpose Center with the kindergarten and parish clubs. The Jukola house (Palojoentie 2) was commissioned in 1990 and renovated in 2005. Jukola also has afternoon activities for 1st-2nd graders after school days.

Patastenmäki Brick School (built in 1957, renovated in 2004) students in 3rd-5th grades, and it is located in the middle of an old residential area at Patastenmäentie 42.

The brick school's predecessor, Patastenmäki Puukoulu, was built in 1924. The year 2024 is Patsku's 100th anniversary year!

Our school has more than 250 students in grades 1-5. In the sixth grade, students move to Harjunrinne school. The strengths of our school's activities are physical education and environmental education, as the Uhkola sports fields, the Peltosaari sports park and the Vahteristo nature reserve are nearby. Since everywhere else is some distance from us, we move from place to place by bike from an early age. In winter, we ski as often as possible.

Our electronic communication system between home and school is Wilma, where you can find, among other things, the student's study information, direct message links to teachers, and school and class bulletins. Guardians must create Wilma IDs for themselves through Suomi.fi identification.

  • Lessons and breaks

    The lesson lasts 60 minutes, including the break. During the breaks, we go outside to exercise and get some fresh air. Clothing should be appropriate for the weather so that the outdoor activity is enjoyable.

    Eating

    Students eat lunch from 10.15:12.00 a.m. to XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. according to a separate schedule.

  • School attendance counselors work in close cooperation with teachers. The school attendance counselors are there to support the students in guiding and anticipating the right actions and helping with learning challenges and possible treatment measures. Sometimes the instructor has to work a considerable amount with certain students, but the goal is for the students' skills to accumulate and for the instructor to be able to help the entire group and flexibly work with different teachers.

    The school visit counselors can be contacted via Wilma, through the teachers and by phone:

    • Jukola instructors 1.-2. lk, tel. 040 330 4501 (call request by message or call after 12 noon)
    • Jukola's small group instructors, phone 050 5693041
    • Brick school instructors 3.-5. lk, tel. 050 500 1665 (call request via message).

     

  • Two students from each class are elected to the Student Council or Apprenticeship. Oppis meets approximately every couple of weeks and proposes, ideas and takes a stand on current issues, i.e. influences the school's activities in a representative way. There are often things related to comfort and activities on display.

    2+2 of the representatives of the student union also participate in the meetings of the city's children's parliament three times a year.

  • Patastenmäki's Jukola school works in cooperation with the kindergarten Jukola committee and Patastenmäki Brick School Tiilari Committee.

    The committees are not registered associations, but the core group is very energetic and committed. The common wish in both Jukola and Tiilari would be to involve new guardians as well as those who have been with the little one more actively.

    Planning meetings will be announced on Wilma and other communication channels, e.g. Through Facebook, and all parents belong to these communities through their children. Committees can organize recreational activities for school children, both during school hours and outside of school hours. With the help of possible fundraising, various purchases are made for the pleasure and benefit of the students. The committees are also considered a way for parents to cooperate and get to know each other.

    Welcome to meetings and events!
