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.

At Patastenmäki Jukola School, the Jukola Committee works in collaboration with the kindergarten, and at Patastenmäki Tiilikoulu, the Tiilari Committee works.

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 are announced via Wilma and other communication channels, including Facebook, and all parents are members of these communities through their children. The committees can organize recreational activities for schoolchildren both during school hours, in consultation with teachers, and outside of school hours. Fundraising is used to make various purchases for the joy and benefit of the students, and we hope that volunteers will participate in large numbers, both as creators and participants. The committees are a well-respected avenue for parents to collaborate and get to know each other.

Welcome to meetings and events!
