Every year in August during school start, the administration sends out a letter regarding storage of medicine for life-threatening diseases. Please read below:

If your child suffers from allergy, diabetes, or any other life-threatening diseases where an emergency situation can happen during the school day, then you have the possibility of storing medication in the reception. 

It is important that you keep charge of the medicine, expiring dates, and any change in dosage. 

Please fill out the form and bring it to the reception along with a small photo of your child, and, of course, the medicine. 

If you already have medication in the reception, please bring all the above-mentioned items and documents as well, as we need a new form and picture for the new school year.

Please note that it is the parents’ responsibility to inform the class team and other relevant staff about any medical conditions of the child and to let them know that medication is stored in the reception in case of emergency. 

You can download the form here.

Primary 

Students are not allowed to use or access their mobile phones during the school day.

Important messages to or from students and parents must go through the school's office or staff in the After School Care. If students need to contact their parents or caregivers in an emergency, they can inform their class teacher or the administration. In special cases, students may be allowed to use the school telephone.

Teachers determine when mobile phones and tablets can be used in a learning context.

All mobile phones / electronic devices must be turned off and handed in to the teacher at the start of the first lesson. The teacher will keep the phones / electronic devices locked away securely until the end of the school day, when the devices are returned to the students. The school cannot be held responsible for loss or theft of phones brought to school.                                                                                                  

After School Care       

Students are also not allowed to use mobile phones / electronic devices in the After School Care in the afternoon and must keep them turned off and in their bags. 

Secondary 1-4

The Secondary Student Council has developed a policy for the use of mobile phones during school hours. The policy is based on input from the classes. It has been agreed that mobile phones are not allowed in the canteen during lunch. However, students can use their mobile phone during the short breaks. Students are not allowed to use their mobile phones during the lessons unless it has been authorised by the teacher for educational purposes. The teacher decides if mobile phones must be handed in at the beginning of the lesson or is kept in the bag. All phones must be set to flight mode or turned off during lessons. 

Smartwatches

The use of smartwatches in school follows the mobile phone policy. This means that students are not allowed to use their smartwatches during the school day, just as they are not allowed to use their phones.

The European Schools offer a multilingual education and therefore have a very strong focus on language learning.

In addition to the section language, also known as L1, students at the European School Copenhagen must also study several foreign languages. Foreign language learning starts already in Primary 1 and continues all the way up to Secondary 7. The foreign languages are known as L2, L3, L4 and L5. L2 and L3 are compulsory subjects and L4 and L5 are optional subjects.

All the foreign languages chosen must be different from the language chosen as L1 – the language of the section. The only exception is for SWALS students (Students Without a Language Section.).

The language options for L2 to L5 will depend on the number of students choosing the different languages as it takes a minimum of seven students to form a language group.

Regardless of the language chosen, the students follow the same curriculum and have the same number of lessons.

The choice of L2 is particularly important, because students will be taught in their L2 in some subjects starting in Secondary 3 (Human Science, Geography, Economics) .

Subjects such as PE, ICT, religion, art, and music may also be taught in either English, German, French or Danish. In Primary 3-5, the subject ‘European Hours’ is taught to mixed language groups, generally in the students’ L2 or in the language of the host country.

Please see the attached document regarding language choices.
