The Attila József Primary School of Szigetszentmiklós (Szigetszentmiklósi József Attila Általános Iskola, often abbreviated: SZIGJA) is a school in Szigetszentmiklós, Pest county. Its namesake is the Hungarian poet Attila József. The school was founded in 1955.[2] In September 2011, the school merged with the art education of Szigetszentmiklós. Since 2014, the school has been operating in a new headquarters building.
History
[edit]The Miklós Elementary Art Education Institution was established in 2004 by the Art School Foundation. On 1. September 2011 the institution was merged into the school.[2][3]
From January of 2013, the school has a new owner, so its name has changed and it continues to operate under the name of Attila József Primary School and Elementary Art School of Szigetszentmiklós. As of September of 2014, the school has been operating in a new headquarters building, while the old headquarters building continues to operate as a member school. In 2017, another institutional reorganisation took place, whereby the member school was spun off and continues to operate in the old buildings as Attila József Primary School of Szigetszentmiklós.[4]
External relations
[edit]The school has traditionally maintained good relations with all the kindergartens in Szigetszentmiklós. Every October, the teachers of the first grade allow the former kindergarten teachers of the large group to visit the class. The exchange of ideas with the teachers helps the kids to integrate into school life and provides the kindergarten teachers with information on the school's induction procedures and academic requirements. In November, the deputy head teacher for the lower classes gives a preliminary orientation to the large group. She gets to know the children and the methods of the sessions. She makes creative comments to help the kindergarten teachers before the start of the school year. In March, she visits the large groups to help the kindergarten teachers make decisions about school readiness.
In May, the first graders welcome the large group of kindergarteners, and the teacher gives a session that gives a positive insight into school life. At the last kindergarten parents' meeting, the school is represented on request by a junior deputy headteacher, who helps parents to solve problems before the start of the school year. The school also holds a parents' meeting for parents of prospective first-graders (who are already enrolled in our school).
The school maintains regular contacts with neighbouring secondary schools to help students succeed in their studies and in their admissions. Joint professional meetings are organised annually, and parents' meetings and visits are organised to help students choose a school. Teachers from the secondary schools participate in academic competitions.
They have a good relationship with the Catholic and Reformed Churches, and are in constant contact with other churches that teach in the school.
They have a regular working relationship:
- with the City Library and Community Centre
- with the Jenő Ádám Primary School and Primary Art School of Szigetszentmiklós
