• An attentive and active attitude during class;
• Not disrupting the lesson;
• Not being late to class without permission;
• Not disturbing the teacher and other students when the lesson has already started;

Bullying

10.2 Absence

Ziekt

If a student cannot attend class due to illness, his/her absence must be reported on the morning the class starts. The sick report must be made before the start of the lessons (before 8.30 on weekends and weekdays before 2 p.m). If this is not possible, notification of illness must be reported to the Tawfiq Foundation as early as possible. This is to avoid confusion during the attendance check.

Leave of absence

Leave must be requested if you wish to excuse your child from lessons outside the scheduled days off. Leave can only be submitted for special reasons such as; religious reasons, special family visits, death and/or marriage. A request for leave will always be assessed individually, based on internal guidelines.

If your request for leave has been rejected, it is not permitted to allow the student to be absent from school. The Tawfiq Foundation will take appropriate measures to this end if you do so.

10.3 Double

It is possible that a student's skills have not been developed far enough to warrant promotion to the next group. In this case, the Tawfiq Foundation will advise the student to repeat a year. This means that the student repeats a school year in the same class/group/level. In this way, the student can catch up on the backlog without experiencing undesirably high performance pressure.

If you have any complaints about the advice to double, you can inform the Tawfiq Foundation. He will examine this and possibly make a judgment about it. However, you cannot derive any rights other than what is determined in the judgment.
