Dear Parents,

This school year's last meeting of the Parent Council took place on June 6th.


Here are the topics discussed:

Information from the school management:

  • The external school evaluation has been completed. A public report will soon be available online for anyone interested.

  • The school management would like to thank the parents' council for the survey on the day of school (Tagesschule). Thanks also go to all the parents who took part. The most important topics that emerged from this include incorporating rest periods, improving the quality of food, doing homework at school, and having enough time for play. It is also important to have groups that are as fixed as possible and not too many children in one place. It is also essential that there are enough supervisory staff. The school management will carefully evaluate the answers and take them into account as best as possible.

  • Handling cell phones: The police were called in after an incident involving middle school children. Parents must pay close attention and discuss with their children what they do with their cell phones.

  • As a reminder, Mobile phones are prohibited at the Sihlfeld school. Children are only allowed to carry their phones switched off and stored in their backpacks. This rule also applies in the daycare center.


Summer festival on Friday, 28 June:

  • Preparations are in full swing. We from the parents' council will help out at the cake stand and at the bar. There will also be a stand where all the children can design a T-shirt they have brought with them using spray paint. It will be great; come along!


More information

  • Mixed traffic at Hardplatz: The parents' council would like to examine the situation with the school police officer. The current situation seems dangerous for pedestrians (school children) with the many fast bicycles.


As always, you can find further information on our homepage: www.elternrat-sihlfeld.ch

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know

Best regards

  • The school management would like to thank so many people for completing the questionnaire for the external school evaluation .

  • Unfortunately, racism is once again an issue in Sihlfeld. The children will talk about it in class council. But it is also important that we as parents listen carefully and that any reports from children are passed on to the class teachers. We on the parents' council will consider how we can continue our series of events "Against racism and for diversity".

  • We would also like to address the topic of media literacy again, particularly cyberbullying . There will be a parent education evening on this topic; an invitation will follow.

  • Speaking of media: Do you need help using "My Account" , the online service of the City of Zurich for registering for daycare, sports courses and much more? The OJA (Open Youth Work Zurich) offers workshops on this. We have linked the offer on our website .

  • We were invited by the district school administration to give a lecture about equal opportunities in our schools. Ms. Carola Mantel researched this and also collected practical tips. Some are available on their project website . In the ER we will collect ideas about what we parents can specifically contribute.

  • As already reported, preparations are underway for the start of the day school in summer 2025. We will soon send you questions regarding your wishes.

  • The neighborhood wants new monsters for Bullingerplatz! Who can help with the crafting? Children can help if accompanied by an adult. Sunday, May 26, 2024, 2-5 p.m. in the Bullinger neighborhood room, Bullingerstrasse 9.

  • The summer festival will take place on June 28th and the parents' council will be present as always. Prepare to be surprised!

My Account Workshop

The online services and in particular the “My Account” function of the City of Zurich are not easy to understand for everyone. Here we have the flyer for an event that shows you how the online services can be used:
