Parents' Council (OR)

A parent council (OR) at a primary school plays an important role in the cooperation between parents and school. The parent council functions as a link between the school board, the school team and the parents, and aims to improve the quality of education and the school climate through active involvement and support. Ziber helps with this!

Own Zone in Ziber Team

Does your school use Ziber Team ? Then you can have a separate Ziber Zone created for the parent council in Ziber Team, where the school controls which functions are made available to the parent council. The parent council can then communicate with parents from the school, for example via messages , activities (meetings), payment requests and many other functions. This way, the parent council becomes an effective body that can make a positive contribution in a safe way.

Supporting school activities

The parent council often helps with organizing school activities such as sports days, Christmas parties, school trips, or other cultural events. Through Ziber Team they can effectively take care of the practical implementation by, for example , asking volunteers through Ziber Kwieb . They can then set up discussion groups with participating parents and school team members through Topics to ensure further coordination.

Voluntary parental contribution

The parent council plays an important role in organizing activities to raise extra money for the school, such as a flea market, sponsorship activities, or selling products (e.g. oliebollen during the holidays). The parent council can collect this voluntary parental contribution via Ziber Team, where everything is well organized administratively and in terms of privacy.

Advice on policy development

The parent council is sometimes also involved in the school's policy process, for example when it concerns policy on safety, bullying, healthy school meals, or the school guide. As representatives of the parents, they can give their opinion and ensure that the voice of parents is heard. It is therefore useful that the parent council can also have contact with parents via Ziber Kwieb.

Connection and communication

The parent council ensures good communication between parents and the school. This can be done by organizing parent evenings , group messages or providing information about school activities and developments. It is therefore ideal that the parent council can share this information with parents via Ziber Kwieb .

Support for teachers and school team

The parent council often organizes volunteers who support the teachers with daily tasks or special activities, such as guiding excursions, helping in the classroom, or providing treats for special occasions. Through the participation option at activities, the parent council can quickly organize this in their own Ziber Zone of Ziber Team .

Meetings and gatherings

The parent council usually meets regularly with the parent members and school team members. Here, school developments can be discussed, parents can bring in their ideas and concerns, and possible improvements can be looked at together. Parents may attend the meeting and minutes are made, which are shared with parents via Ziber Kwieb .
