If you see someone who speaks your language, and would like to contact them even though you do not have children in the same class, please do not hesitate to reach out. All the parents below have agreed to share their contact information and would love to hear from you.

Some additional notes about class culture in Danish public school (Folkeskoler):

• Family involvement outside the classroom is strongly encouraged. Class Parents’ Councils will normally organize 2-3 events throughout the year which could include a Christmas/holiday Party, Boardgame Event, Bowling or Swim Party, School Sleepover, End of Year Picnic, etc. Parents are often invited, especially for events for the younger grades. As a small school with families scattered across the islands of Lolland and Falster, these events offer a great opportunity to get to know one another and build community.
  

• Informal class networking between parents may take place through WhatsApp, Facebook/Messenger, or other platforms, but Aula remains the primary mode of communication between the school and parents.
• Contributions to the class fund (Klassekasse) is strongly encouraged. These funds are used for extra class activities, supplies, events, etc. Your Class Parents’ Council will provide more details on the amount and where the funds should be sent.
• For birthdays, the birthday child is allowed to bring a pre-portioned treat to share with their class. For birthday parties, it is common in Denmark to invite all the children in the class, or all the girls or all the boys, and gift budgets are generally limited to 50kr.
• Do not be shy! Danes value feedback and input, and there are many opportunities to share your concerns or opinions regarding the school throughout the year. It is most important to always start with the teacher. Some examples of feedback forums include: parent-teacher-child conferences (hjem-skole samtaler), formalized wellbeing surveys, or simply through conversations with the Class Parents’ Council in your class. If you or your child is struggling with anything in the school, there are places to turn to for both formal and informal support.
