Principal's Summer Blog

With spring moving to summer, the school year is wrapping up with fun activities and showcases planned for June. Students and teachers are busy with final assessments and preparations for the end of term, including celebrating grade 9's transition. The school also highlights upcoming grade-level events, grade talks, and reinforces the mobile phone policy.

As spring turns to summer, the final weeks of the school year are upon us. It has been a busy term for both students and teachers. We have had a busy term for both students and teachers. We look forward to some fun activities at the end of term and also our talent show and aesthetics exhibition in June. Here is the calendar to remind you of the important dates!

Over the next few weeks students and teachers are working hard together to finish the final parts of assessments and course content. We are also planning our choice days and end of year avslutning. We are excited to share and celebrate with our grade 9 students as they prepare for gymnasium and the next part of their educational journey!  

We look forward to our grade 3 open house on May 21st. We welcome our new grade 4 students to join us for the new term! 

The grade 6’s are finished with their National Tests, and the Grade 9’s are finishing this week with Mathematics. Our students were well prepared and conducted themselves well during the tests. We are very proud of them!

 

Grade talks

At the end of term, teachers will be having grade talks with students. This is an opportunity for students to receive their respective grades verbally from teachers. As always, we would like to remind our students of the importance of being respectful of their teachers and the teachers’ professional judgement. For more information about grading, please visit Skolverket website. We especially recommend watching the instructional videos for students and guardians. 

 

Mobile Phones

We have a strict policy regarding student use of mobile phones in school. This is something we make clear with students and yourselves. We would ask for support from home to encourage students to be respectful of this rule. We will share more information and ideas of how we can work together to ensure that students are mobile phone free during school time with you when we meet for Parents evening in August.
