School and home co-operation
Co-operation between school and home has been specified in the curriculum. Parents have the primary task of raising their children. The school supports this task and is responsible for educating and teaching the student as a member of the school community. Parents’ meetings are an example of the forms of co-operation between the school and parents.
Other forms of co-operation include teacher meetings, parents' association operations, and evaluation discussion in primary schools.
Cooperation between home and school is maintained through two-way communication. All schools in Jyväskylä use the Wilma-system. Common issues concerning families are communicated on the school's website and through bulletins. Personal matters concerning the pupil are communicated via Wilma-messages, by phone or by making an appointment.
Cooperation between home and school is developed by organizing parents' evenings and other events that can be organized by the school, parents' associations/councils or other parties, such as the Jyväskylä Parents' Forum.
