Dear parents of year 4 – 7 pupils
During the current situation regarding health and safety and the gradual opening of schools, we are facing various challenges – including organisational ones. We would like to ask you to think carefully about whether you will be able to provide your child, who is studying from home, with a hot meal at home during distance learning.
Although we are currently unable to provide you with more specific information, please let us know, by filling in the application form (link here), whether you would like an organised school lunch for your home-schooled child (according to the School Meals Agreement).
We will do our best, within the current legislation, rules, instructions and recommendations, to organise the preparation of school lunches for pupils who will remain at home for the time being. Therefore, we need to know whether to register your child for lunch during online learning.
We suggest that when deciding whether your child needs a hot lunch, first think about protecting their health and the increased risk of coming to school, as well as the fact that we at school are obliged to follow very strict instructions to reduce the possibility of infection with the COVID-19 virus.
The deadline for registration is very short, Monday, May 18, 10:00, so we thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards
School counselling service and school administration

Dear parents,
Today, the parents of pupils who will return to school on Monday will get detailed information about the organisation of lessons specific for their group. We have put great effort into preparing the conditions and processes in our school to ensure safety and the smooth running of the programmes.
Grades 4 to 8 will continue with the online learning process. I would like to ask all parents to encourage their children to continue working responsibly, as the end of the school year is approaching very quickly. This is especially important for the pupils who need to improve their grades and to whom teachers for individual support have been appointed – they should take advantage of this privilege and cooperate with them regularly. Parents will be sent the projected grades for the MYP students today.
Next week, grade 8 parents and pupils will get instructions about their return to school. Also, a few students from grades 6 & 7 will be asked to come to school and finish their work, as well as to be assessed.
Enjoy the weekend, but do not forget the prevention measures. The danger of the virus is not over yet.
Best wishes,
Irena Šteblaj

Dear parents,
We have been preparing the procedures and facilities for the return of the Kindergarten and Grade 1 to grade 3 pupils on Monday, 18 May and grade 8 students on Monday, 25 May.
Today, we will get the final detailed instructions from the Ministry of Education. Tomorrow, we will send you the adapted schedules for grades 1 to 3 for the period until the end of the school year. Grade 2 & 3 pupils will continue to do Slovenian online, as we are not allowed to regroup students in this period, so they will be able to continue with the programme in their phase group. Grade 1-3 pupils will also continue the Plenary programme online.
A meeting was held – a Pre Case conference (analyses of pupils’ work) with our teachers, who were very satisfied with the online learning results. The main objective of the conference was to identify pupils at risk. I am very happy to report that for almost all of our students, who will continue online learning, no additional assessments in school will be needed. Only a few pupils from grades 6 & 7 will need to come to school to finish their school work, in order to improve their grades.
Kind regards,
Irena Šteblaj

On Tuesday, 12th May, the 3M pupils had their challenge of Inquiry, which this year was carried out individually. Their theme was OPTICAL ILLUSIONS, and as the name suggests, they were asked to carry out several tasks relating to whether what we see is real or an illusion.

Dear parents,
Some pupils have not sent us their texts and photos for the yearbooks yet. If they do not do it by Thursday, 14 May, we will not be able to include them in the yearbooks.
