2. Know the School

Forward

  1. After the end of compulsory education, it is not easy to make the right choice. The previous school will help families and students to make the right choice, better if a network of schools and training agencies or social services are available in the area.
  2. There are school regulations that you should know when your child enrols. Ask the school to explain them to you and check if they also have a website where you can find them.
  3. Find out if the school has an organized system specifically devoted to the relation between students and their family, so that you can ask in what forms and times it is available.
  4. Learn about how the school is organized: curricular subjects (lessons, workshops, stages, external guided visits); assigned homework; how school communicates with family about your child’s general situation (not only concerning assessment, but above all for possible risk situations); the students must attend school regularly and absences have to be justified. There is a system to certificate key competences and subjects attended if students move to a different school or training path; there are regular parents’ meetings that you should attend to keep informed about all the activities carried out to prevent and solve student’s risk.
