A Note from the Editor

Welcome to the first edition of the Alumni Europae newsletter! We are happy to launch this newsletter in order to keep you, the European School family, up to date and informed about the Alumni Europae and its development.

Dear parents,

Traffic problems may occur, in case of important delays or other disruptions, concerned parents will be notified by our Transport Office.

APEEE B3

Dear parents,

We would like to remind you that the school will be closed from Friday 22 December 2017 until Friday 5 January 2018.For Thursday 21 December 2017, following the school management's decision to cancel the 9th period, there will be a single bus departure at 15.35 that afternoon (with the same bus number and bus stops as on a Wednesday, even for a departure at 15:35). 

For the "garderies", there will be a departure at 15:35 as usual, but no departure at 16:30. 

Please note that Thursday and Friday there will be the European Council.

We anticipate possible delays for buses going to Schuman.

Buses to the different garderies will leave the school and will try to take the children to the different garderies or will be directed to garderies offered by their own service.

If they are blocked by the police, the drivers will eventually have to take the children back to school and the parents will be warned that they have to pick them up.

Dear parents,

Due to adverse weather conditions, the traffic in Brussels has been particularly heavy today. Several tunnels were temporarily closed.

This situation is likely to impact on our afternoon service and delays on several lines are expected to occur.

Please note that we have taken all measures possible to ensure that our buses arrive at school and leave on time for both afternoon departures. We have also planned for additional buses to remain on standby in case of need.

Police informed us of a demonstration taking place between 10:00h and 14:00h this Friday 7/12/2017.

Traffic problems are to be expected during the bus departures.

December 2017 - Important dates 

Dear parents, the VUB pool will open again as of 8 January 2018. 

We are pleased to offer you the following changes and options:

Monday

Dear Parents,

Last week, APEEE published the new schedule for your contacts with staff (during "public hours"). Their aim is to ensure a balance between their other tasks and the responsiveness to users.

All staff members do their best to provide information and to reply to your requests, while they contribute to improving constantly the new electronic platform for enrolment and payments. A huge work of re-engineering and simplification of our administrative workflow has been underway since May 2017.

The 5th Eastern Partnership (EaP) summit will take place in Brussels (Europa building) on 24 November. 

With a view to the current alert state YELLOW there will be again a strict No Access policy - even with your office badge - to the security perimeter which will be installed on the 24th of November as of 06:45. Traffic disruptions in the European quarter are to be expected.
