When can the school change the dates in the school guide?<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

It can happen that a situation arises that makes the school close unexpectedly. For example, due to extreme weather, an external safety threat, or a staff strike.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

In these cases, the school can rely on force majeure or an unsafe situation. The school then chooses to adjust school hours or close the class or school for a short time.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"knop","knop":{"title":"School holidays and free days","url":"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/en\/school-holidays-and-free-days\/","target":"_blank"},"kleur":"primary"},{"acf_fc_layout":"extra_inhoud_blok","inhoud":"

What measures can the school take in heat?<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

The school decides when the temperature can harm the health of children and staff. There is no set minimum or maximum temperature. Sometimes schools choose to use a tropical timetable for warm weather. This means shortening or moving lessons earlier.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Other schools choose other heat measures instead of a tropical timetable. For example, breaks in a cool room, extra ventilation of the classroom, letting your child work in shorter blocks, or more attention to drinking water throughout the day.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

What measures does the school take in extreme weather?<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Extreme weather can create dangerous situations. Think of slippery roads from ice and snow or fallen trees during a storm. Schools can take measures to keep children and staff safe.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The school decides which measures to take and when, for example, giving a day off for ice. If the school is not reachable, it can start later or close for a day.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Closure due to sick teacher or strike<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Sometimes the school faces force majeure because there is no or not enough staff. For example, many teachers are sick or on strike.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

You can expect the school to try to keep education going. For example, by using other staff or combining classes. But this is not always possible. The school can then decide to close fully or partly.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

What effects does a changed timetable or closing have?<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

A changed timetable or school closure means your child gets fewer hours of education. The school must ensure your child gets enough hours yearly. This counts only hours with actual teaching. Lost hours and days do not count for this rule.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"knop","knop":{"title":"Teaching time & school time","url":"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/en\/teaching-time-school-time\/","target":"_blank"},"kleur":"primary"},{"acf_fc_layout":"extra_inhoud_blok","inhoud":"

What rights do you have as a parent?<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

The school must tell parents in time about a changed timetable or closure, like the tropical timetable or a day off for ice. This means you get a message from the school as soon as possible.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The school must try to offer an alternative program. The school then cares for the children during the missed lessons unless the situation at school is unsafe.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"call_to_action","selecteer_call_to_action":"gerelateerde_onderwerpen_lijst","berichten_met_prioriteit":false,"download_pdf":false,"veelgestelde_vragen_verwijzing":{"titel":"","knop_tekst":"","url":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"meer_informatie_links","linkjes":[{"link":{"title":"Rijksoverheid over tropenrooster","url":"https:\/\/www.rijksoverheid.nl\/onderwerpen\/schooltijden-en-onderwijstijd\/vraag-en-antwoord\/wanneer-krijgen-scholen-een-tropenrooster","target":"_blank"}},{"link":{"title":"Rijksoverheid over ijsvrij","url":"https:\/\/www.rijksoverheid.nl\/onderwerpen\/schooltijden-en-onderwijstijd\/vraag-en-antwoord\/wanneer-geven-scholen-ijsvrij","target":"_blank"}}]}],"samenvatting":"In tropical heat or prolonged frost, schools can change the timetable if parents cannot arrange care.","banner_subtitel":"","call_to_action":"contact","call_to_action_2":"geen","zoekwoorden":"","meta_samenvatting":"Ouders & Onderwijs is there for all parents with children at school age.
