Parents

Actively Supporting School Life

If you are a parent or legal guardian, member of school management or a teacher at the FIS then you are automatically a member of the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).

If you have any questions about the school and/or the school community or if you have any ideas that you would like to share with other school families, please don’t hesitate to contact us at . We would love to hear from you.

The objectives of the PTO are to:

  • Build and strengthen community by bringing FIS families, teachers and staff together.
  • Raise money to support the school community’s activities and funding requests.

We seek to achieve our objectives through a diverse program of events and activities throughout the school year.

General Meetings are held throughout the school year. All members have the right to attend General Meetings. We encourage your participation in these meetings as it is not only a time to connect but also to have your ideas and feedback considered.

The PTO Board is a group of parents, teachers, and staff members that are elected to administer the affairs of the PTO. The Executive Board officers serve a two-year term running from June 1 following their election to May 31 of the following odd-numbered year. Since many of the volunteers work, we communicate mainly via email and get together either as a board or as a committee when necessary.
