Welcome
Welcome to new and old students alike. The teachers and I hope that you all had a pleasant and enjoyable summer and are ready to begin a new and interesting school year 2009-2010.
Transportation
Any student at the school can apply for reimbursement of seasonal bus and train tickets, of which the school will cover 50%, if the student meets the conditions concerning distance between home and school. (See the two forms below)
Milk
The Danish dairies offer cheap milk to all students provided that the students order for half a year at a time. 1/4 litre of milk – skimmed milk; semi-skimmed milk; full-cream milk or buttermilk – costs DKK 286.00 for six months. If you are interested, please send me an e-mail before the end of this week containing; full name of the student, phone number and which type of milk you child would like, and I will order for you.
The first week
The first week the Cosmo-students follow the tradition of Kolding Realskole, where all the Lower Secondary students are off at 11.35 and the Primary students at 11.50 to give the students a gentle start. The regular timetable begins next Monday.
After School Recreation Centre
Should you wish your child to attend the After School Recreation Centre, I would like to know as soon as possible, and on Friday at the very latest.
New Teachers
We have two new teachers this year Mr. Ripley Davenport and Monika Jensen. Read more about them at www.thecosmo.dk under Education, Teachers.

Concerning transportation for the school year 2009/10
The school covers 50 % of the travelling expenses; however it is only students, who meet the conditions concerning distance between home and school, who will receive subsidies. Furthermore can students who are ill or invalid apply for subsidies from special funds. Only students enrolled by September 5 can apply for the subsidies.
Minimum / maximum distance
Kindergarten – 3rd class 2.6 km/12.5 km
4th – 6th class 6.1 km/16.0 km
7th – 9th class 7.1 km/16.0 km
10th class 9.1 km/17.0 km
Provided that the student has a season ticket with more zones, than he or she is entitled to from the maximum distance, or if the student lives further away than the maximum distance, there will be a deduction in the subsidies.
The procedure is that you buy the season ticket for bus or train. Hereafter you fill out an application for coverage of travelling expenses, and we will make sure you receive 50% of the ticket’s price in your bank account, if the student is entitled to the coverage.
Application for reimbursement of seasonal bus and train tickets
The school covers 50% of the ticket cost, if the student meets the conditions concerning distance between home and school.
Please fill out the form with all the required information. We will hereafter transfer the money to your account, if the student is entitled to the refund. Remember that we must have a copy of the bus/train card and the tickets every time you request a refund. If the student moves, notice must be given at once.
