Hacerse amigos con la escuela


Explanation:
I think you can translate it literally as it is a text aimed at parents of young children, who will perhaps use similar language to speak to their children. They have to "make friends" with the school - ie familiarise themselves with the place and people and realise that it is not something to be scared of.

Suerte.

este programa piloto es mostrar a los estudiantes que los rotarios se preocupan por ellos. Los rotarios comparten cerca de 75 minutos por mes con grupos de 4 a 6 estudiantes para ayudarlos a ambientarse al nuevo ambiente de la secundaria. A través de charlas, temas de discusión de interés mutuo, juegos de mesa y naipes con los estudiantes

Que preocupada por la educación de su hija y ante la posibilidad de que pierda el año se vio obligada a inscribirla preventivamente en otra unidad educativa, donde la niña no logra ambientarse con sus nuevos compañeros debido a que se trata del último curso y a que se hicieron públicas afirmaciones desaprensivas por la Directora Distrital de Educación
