Preventing Class Cancellations

Sometimes a teacher is sick. In the case of long-term illness, finding a replacement can be well organized. However, for short-term absence, it can sometimes be difficult to arrange a replacement quickly.  

The steps that are then followed are as follows:

  • The management requests part-time teachers who have indicated their willingness to substitute in case of emergencies to come to work.
  • The management contacts teachers who have expressed their willingness to substitute at Europaschool.
  • Students are distributed among the other groups; in case of cancellations in the lower grades, parents may be asked to keep their youngest children at home, if possible.
  • In extreme cases, the management can call upon so-called 'mobile staff,' including the internal supervisor, to substitute.
  • It may occur that all the above options are not feasible. In that case, the management can decide to release the class. However, this will always be announced to the parents in advance by letter, email, or phone.
