ArctiChildren InNet project is located and where the model of electronic health is described as innovative (ArctiChildren InNet project introduction 2014). In addition, as a result of the work in the project, there is a section ”Safety and Health”, which contains the following topics: ”Health- a Key to Success”,
”Priority - Health”, ”Physical culture – Hurray”. Within the theme ”Health - Key to Success” there is a questionnaire for students “Physical Education in the life of the student”, materials of the target program “Priority Health”, model of work of an educational institution
”Desired conversation”, in the course of which the prevention of psychoactive substances use is carried out (see Health!
– the key to success 2014).
Thus, interactivity in terms of parent – teacher - pupil is presented in a diversified range. Parents can use the services of an electronic reception:
submit an application for admission to the school, in daycare, provision of any additional educational services; express a particular desire of school administration etc. Through electronic resources one can get acquainted with the school schedule and the changes in it. In the electronic diary, which is similar to a paper version, each parent can see the daily evaluation of the child in all subjects, average grade, homework on the subjects, some comments and / or recommendations of a subject specialist, or the classroom teacher. We should note that all of these
services are provided free of charge to parents. To ensure confidentiality of the information to each parent at the parent meeting a username and password to access the information of the diary are issued. Parents can get acquainted with the child’s academic performance.
Subject teachers, in turn, may have access only to the page of the classes where they teach their subject. Director and / or the head teacher have access to view all the resources, but cannot change the term and the year.
Before long, the introduction of paid sms-notifications or information by e-mail about the arrival of the student in school, the outcome of individual achievement in subjects within specific problem areas, performance monitoring, analysis of tests, etc. (a system of parental control) will be part of the eSchool system.
We note that the introduction of the eSchool and the electronic diaries, in particular, was generally positively as evaluated both by the teachers and parents in the community. Naturally, the process of filling in the electronic diary, electronic journal, and inputting the information content are time-consuming and in some way increase the length of the teacher’s workday. Such interactions are relatively new to the modern Russian school, but it is already obvious that we have found another way to integrate the school and parent community which in the near future will ensure the achievement of both qualitative and quantitative results.

In conclusion, we note the following:
Interaction between the family and the school is an important factor which influences directly the schoolchildren’s health
The level of school health depends on the quality of organizing such interaction
Forms and methods of interaction in the “family and school” system should be various, and the specificity of both the school and the family should be taken into account
The best practices presented in the ArctiChildren project can be an example of an effective organization of interaction between families and schools.
This article presents different components necessary for creating a health promoting environment applied in the modern Russian school. Special attention is given to forming a lifesaving virtual environment. Successful practical experiences of the pilot schools within the project ArctiChildren in the Murmansk region serve as an example.
Introduction
In the course of a learning process, today’s school focuses on protecting children’s health. A positive solution to this issue leads us to the problem of education quality, because only a healthy person can fully assimilate and realize the knowledge. Despite the fact that in social practices the leading role belongs to the learning function of a school, there is a growing attention to students’ health when assessing the extent and quality of education. That is why a school should be considered not only as a learning environment, but also as a special
environment with an impact on human health.
