At AISR, parents play a key role in supporting the students, teachers and each-other.
There are many ways for parents to be
involved in the school and to make connections with our families in our school
community.
Welcome Committee
Even before arriving, you will be welcomed
into our school community.We have a Welcome Committee which will be there to answer your questions
and help you settle into our community.This year’s committee started with an email early in the summer
welcoming new families, answering questions, and setting up a virtual swap for
in-coming and out-going families.While the school arranged tours and introductions of the school, this
committee arranged an additional welcome coffee to give newcomers insight into
the ins and outs of AISR, and a packet of information explaining where to find
everything from school supplies to sports lessons in the Rotterdam area.‘Field trips’ were arranged to the
local grocery store, to the bank to aid in setting up accounts, and to the
local public transport to explain usage, along with some fun outings so
newcomers could connect.
PTSA
Our PTSA plays an active role at AISR by
striving to enrich the scholastic experience of our students and to foster a
familial atmosphere within our international community. We are a group of
parents, teachers and students who work together to support existing programs
for our children, as well as to organize social events and activities for the
school community at large.
General meetings are held throughout the
year to discuss and plan events such as the Welcome Picnic, Karaoke night, the
Annual Dinner Dance/Silent Auction and Spring Fair/Fun Run, to name a
few. Every parent is automatically a member of the PTSA, but those
interested in becoming actively involved are invited to join one or more of the
organizing committees for our events and activities.
The PTSA recognizes the vital importance of
its members’ support and participation, through attendance at school events or
by volunteering time, effort and energy to make these events a success.
AISR benefits greatly from the longstanding tradition of parents who willingly
share the wealth of their diverse experiences and ideas. The PTSA
welcomes you to join us in our efforts to be of service to the entire AISR
community.
