During the 2024–2025 school year, pupils and students in Tuusula learned about the basics of well-being and had many empowering encounters. Reflection on a sustainable future was a key part of Tuusula's educational activities. The implementation of the previous school year in pre-primary and basic education, after-school activities and upper secondary education has now been assessed in the school year evaluations discussed in the autumn. 

Tuusula, Kerava, Hyvinkää and Järvenpää have launched a joint initiative called Reilusti yhdessä, turvaa toisista (Fair together, safety from others), which aims to prevent bullying, harassment, discrimination and violence in schools.

Emotional and interpersonal skills are among the most important skills for educators. Tuusula's expertise in emotional skills has been exported abroad. Recognising their own emotions gives children and young people the tools to deal with even difficult issues safely with the support of adults.

This autumn, the JHL trade union is launching an annual professional day dedicated to school assistants, which will be celebrated on the last Friday of September. The aim is to raise the profile and appreciation of this important professional group.

The reform of legislation on learning support will also bring changes to the consultative activities of hospital education. With the reform, all pupils and teaching staff in all municipalities will have the opportunity to receive expert support for hospital education from 1 August 2025, regardless of the pupil's place of residence. The aim is to increase equality in the service.

In Tuusula, primary and secondary schools will begin their autumn term on Thursday, 7 August 2025. Approximately 5,600 children and young people will be heading to school, including around 480 first-year pupils making their first journey to school. The Tuusula Art School and Tuusula College will begin operating in August.

The Rykmentinpuisto school and daycare centre will open in August 2025 at Rykmentin puistotie 19. The municipality of Tuusula will improve traffic safety in the area by installing speed bumps and directing schoolchildren to light traffic lanes. The need for traffic volume and other solutions will be monitored.

The spring term at schools in Tuusula ends on Saturday, 31 May. More than 5,000 primary school pupils and 740 upper secondary school students in Tuusula will then enjoy their well-deserved summer holidays. Everyday life will resume when the autumn term begins on 7 August. 

The construction of the Rykmentinpuisto school and daycare centre is in its final stages. Operations will commence in the new premises in August 2025. You can familiarise yourself with the future school and daycare centre during guided tours, which will be held on 4 June between 3 and 6 p.m. Register by 3 June!
