Guardians' Responsibilities
Dear Guardians,
As Antalya Toplum Koleji, we request your full and continuous support from our parents in order to ensure that our students receive a better quality education and we thank you for your sensitivity.
Our school starts education at 08:40 in the morning. For this reason, we kindly ask the parents of our students who do not use the shuttle to make sure that our students arrive at school at least 10 minutes before. Our students who arrive late disrupt their education and the education of other students in the class. Our students, who make a habit of being late for whatever reason, are both warned by us and draw the reaction of the class. A student who comes to school 3 times late is recorded as absent for half a day. Students using the school bus should be at the waiting area 2-3 minutes before the bus arrives.
If our student will not be able to come to school for any reason or will arrive late, please call the school or inform the administrators by e-mail. If our student is using a shuttle, please call the shuttle driver and give information. Inform the school about our students who will not get on the bus after school and will be picked up by someone else. In order not to be counted as unexcused absences, our parents should request in writing the permission they want to take for their children, except for emergencies.
Antalya Community College Secondary School students are required to attend classes with their uniforms. On the days when there are Physical Education classes, they should have their tracksuits and spare uniforms with them according to the weather conditions. Our students should be sent to school in a way that their attire is suitable for the school, their hair is clean and combed, and without exaggerated jewelry. In ceremonies and events, our students should be sent to school as notified to their parents.
Personal care of our students should be done completely and regularly. Particular attention should be paid to this issue, especially for students who have entered the age of puberty.
Our institutions expect our parents to participate in national holidays and other ceremonies, events and seminars held in our schools.
