Pick-up of Your Child and Permissions to leave

In accordance with the access policy implemented by the school for parents picking up their children from the OIB’s APPS or APEEE activities and supervision, parents or any other authorised registered persons will be allowed to enter the school premises and collect their children directly.

For control and security reasons, these persons must carry a photo access badge. The badges are provided by the school at a cost of 15 euros per badge. Badges must be ordered via an online form, available upon request.

For children in Nursery, Primary, S1 or S2, each person authorised to collect your child(ren) must also be registered in your Secured Zone.

The pick-up of children after an activity or supervision takes place at the following locations:

• If your child is in Nursery:
  Authorized persons may access the primary building to pick up the child directly in the supervision room from 16:30. Before this time, pick-up must take place in the entrance hall.

Please approach our staff present at the pick-up location (wearing an orange “Périscolaire” jacket) and give them your child’s name.

Children in Secondary 2 or lower authorized to leave school alone

In the absence of a digitalised system enabling you to indicate whether your child is authorised to leave the school alone, please send us an email with the subject “[Child’s name] – authorisation to leave” containing the following information:

I, the undersigned, [Your Name], parent of [Child’s Name], student in [Class] at the European School Brussels II – [Woluwe / Evere], hereby authorize my child to leave the school on their own at the end of extracurricular activities as of September 22, 2025.

If possible, please print this email after sending it and provide a copy to your child, so that he/she can present it when leaving the school.

Children Registered in the OIB after-achool care service (APPS)

Children enrolled both in an activity and in the OIB after-school care (APPS) will be collected and brought back to the APPS by the APEEE supervision staff.

In order to facilitate your child’s participation in extracurricular activities organized by the APEEE, the OIB reminds you that you must first enter a specific authorization in Kiddyweb for the APEEE. To do so, you must go to the file of each of your children enrolled in extracurricular activities and edit the authorization field by completing the three mandatory fields as follows:

• Last Name: APEEE
• First Name: Woluwe or Evere (depending on the site where your child is registered)
• APEEE phone number: +32 476 275 652

Validation of this authorisation may take up to 24 hours before the educators can consult it in Kiddymob on their work telephones. The educators of the European Commission’s after-school care service are not authorised to hand over a child to the APEEE if the APEEE has not been previously authorised in Kiddyweb by the paying parent.
