Before-School care is available at C.I.S every day at 7:00am.

If your children arrive at school before 7:45am, they must attend Before Care where they will have adult supervision. Children will be supervised while they start their day exploring the garden, tending to the chickens, reading, coloring, and playing games. The cost is $5.00 per day via cash or check.  

It is a violation of school policy to drop your child off at the school before 7:45 am unless they are going to Before Care. For information please contact Jennifer Martyn, Before-School Care Director, by email at jennifernicole8686@gmail.com.

At CIS, we recognize that one of the best predictors of academic success is parent involvement. We encourage each of you to become involved through our active PTA, as classroom volunteers, and through our many events held throughout the year.  Events such as the Jog-a-thon and International Day bring our community together both for fun and in support of school priorities.

Classroom Parent

Be a classroom parent and help your child's teacher!  Contact your child's teacher directly if you are interested!

School Advisory Committee

If you are interested in becoming involved now, our School Advisory Committee (SAC) is recruiting volunteer representatives.  The 

SAC collaborates with the head administrator on many aspects of the school's management and processes.   Please contact Tara Armijo-Prewitt at tprewitt@gmail.com or 304.0672 if you are interested.

Sponsor an After School Club!

This year's clubs will include chess, soccer, building with legos, drama, bugs, scrapbooking, newspaper, sewing, battle of the books, among other offerings.  If you'd like to sponsor a club either before or after school, please contact Tara at tprewitt@gmail.com or 304-0672.  We are actively seeking a volleyball coach, a yearbook sponsor, and a Imagination Destination co-sponsor!

Volunteer in the Classroom

Check with your child's teacher to see how you can help!  All volunteers must undergo an APS background check.  If yours has lapsed or you have yet to have one done, please stop by the front desk and ask Tara for the form! 

PTA

Join our PTA! Teachers, staff and families come together to support the International School mission. The support we receive from each of you is invaluable.

To help out with our upcoming International Day Fair, contact Monet Silva-Caldwell (familiacaldsilva@yahoo.com) or Tara Armijo-Prewitt (tprewitt@gmail.com) for more information!  This event will be tons of fun and you can make a difference by helping make this awesome event happen!
