Infantil break time has its own timetable: ask your child’s class teacher.
- Doors
- They open at 8:55 and close at 9:00. Each class goes in through its own door. If you arrive late, you sign the late-arrivals form.

- Only with a relative or a person you have authorised on iPasen, signing the exit register. Children are not collected during break or in the 10 minutes before the end of the day.
- Absences
- Report them on iPasen. Five unjustified absences in a month trigger the school’s absenteeism protocol.

- Parent meetings with teachers
- Tuesdays from 16:00 to 17:00. Request them on iPasen.
- Break-time snack
