🤝 Together for our school – Parental involvement at the Hude-Süd primary school

A good school thrives on the cooperation of everyone: children, teachers, and parents. Parental involvement is an important part of our school life. Through parent representatives, the school parents' council, and the school board, parents actively shape the interaction and further development of our school. They contribute ideas, support projects, and help ensure that school remains a place where everyone feels comfortable.
