In the school life of 51^st school the parent is an active partner. We have been running the Parent-Teacher for a Day initiative for almost five years. The parents of the students from the three educational stages are included as lecturers in different classes, according to a pre-announced topic and schedule. Most often, parents present their profession in order to provide vocational guidance to students. Interesting and useful practice, because in this way a relationship of mutual respect and trust between the school and the family is built. Apart from the professional orientation of the students, these classes help the parent to be informed about the life and successes of their children at school. The initiative adds to the interactions between parents and children, increases the level of trust and the trust in the parents comes to the fore.

 Our successful cooperation with parents is the Working Academy for Successful Parenting - AURA. For the implementation of this initiative we give parents the opportunity to take part in various activities related to school life - art therapy, presentation of personal experiences, and participation in games.

 51^st school is working towards building a parent-teacher association for the three educational stages, in which at least one parent from the class, the class teacher and the class teachers take part. The meetings of the association are held throughout the school year. In a friendly spirit, they discuss topics and activities related to school life. Through this initiative we make parents more empathetic, more responsible and more active in the problems of students.
