Dear Parents,
I hope all of you are well, safe and healthy. I am in contact with our teachers constantly and I am happy that the online learning is working well. Teachers are regularly giving feedback to students and informing their parents when students are not punctual or thorough enough with their work.
Our school has decided to reduce the tuition fees for the period of online learning. As you have already received the invoices for March, we will deduct the March difference from the April tuition fees.

Dear parents,
I hope you are healthy. We have not received any information about the virus infecting anyone within our school community as yet. Let’s hope it stays this way.
According to the feedback from teachers and some parents who contacted us, the online learning has stared well. Most of our students completed all their work yesterday, and as expected, only a few students, who usually need more encouragement and support have not completed their work thus far. Our teachers will contact parents individually. There were also a few students who had technical problems (computers, traveling,..), but we will try to be as flexible as possible in supporting them.
I am really proud that the majority of our students showed responsibility and agency, as this is most important at the moment.
All parents should encourage their children to use time efficiently, not procrastinate and also to be helpful at home. These are very difficult times and everybody should contribute as best they can according to their abilities and opportunities.
Remember to be physical active, as you all have to stay fit, and boost your immunity and general physical condition.
PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTIVE MEASURES AND SOCIAL ISOLATION.
Following a suggestion of one of our international parents, the school will be organising the delivery of hot meals to our underprivileged students with the help of volunteers.
For this purpose we opened an account for donations:
namen : POMOČ DRUŽINAM
sklic : 00 763104
TRR : SI56 01261 6030662176
Give my love to your children.
Best wishes,

Dear parents,
You and your child/ren have received the instructions for online learning. Please support and encourage them to be actively and responsibly involved in the process of learning.
As the students will spend a lot of time at computers, I recommend that you limit their screen time in their spare time. For young children the blue light from screens is very damaging for the eyes and brain (digital dementia) and it impairs sleep. The time of social isolation is an opportunity for family activities: cooking, baking and cleaning together, gardening, walks and sports activities in the countryside (but keep distance from other people). Children should play with toys, blocks, play social games, draw, colour, solve puzzles, crosswords, riddles, make handicrafts, read, keep diaries, dance, exercise and practice neat handwriting or calligraphy amongst other things.
The PYP students will not have Computer Skills lessons as they will do most of their work on computers anyway.
In case you or your child/ren are anxious, afraid or feel stressed by the current situation, please contact our councillor Ms Maja Majnik (
majnikm@os-danilekumar.si).
Follow all preventive measures. Social isolation is especially important, so avoid any socialising and crowds.
Stay healthy and in good spirits.
Kind regards,
Irena Steblaj

Dear Parents,
For children whose parents both work in jobs which are important for state services in emergency situations (workers in health institutions, the army, police, public protection), emergency day care will be organised. Parents will have to provide certificates from their employers. The child/ren must be healthy and must not show any signs of infection.
If both parents meet the requirements, they can register their child/ren at
ravnatelj@os-danilekumar.si at least 24 hours before they need day care. With the application they must provide the certificates from their employers and indicate the hour of arrival and departure of the child/ren.
