Practical information
Transportation
We have our own bus that drives to Björkskolan. It starts in Skelleftehamn and goes via Ursviken, Bergsbyn, Moröbacke to Björkskolan. The bus only goes to school in the morning, so it is not a complete transport solution for students. If you have questions about the bus trip, you can contact the school.
Like students at other schools, you can apply for a bus pass from the municipality, see more information at http://www.skelleftea.se/default.aspx?id=151692
Applying for leave
It is important for the school that the students are at school during school hours and that trips etc. are planned for the academic year's holidays and summer holidays. However, in the event of illness in the family or other urgent or important events in the family, leave is granted. On such occasions, the class mentor has the right to give 10 days off per academic year. Any longer leave, of more than 10 days per academic year, can only be granted by the principal if there are exceptional reasons. The student and their guardian are responsible for ensuring that the student does not fall behind in their schoolwork in the event of any leave.
Insurance
The students are insured via Trygg-Hansa and student insurance applies to accidents both during school hours and their free time. In the event of an accident, contact the school to report the damage.
