COMMUNITY PARENTS AND MORE

GET INVOLVED

Parents play an important role in the celebrations and successes of our community. They can participate in our vibrant learning culture, volunteer at school events, do classroom visits, or lead after-school clubs. BISC’s Parent Community takes pride in bringing our whole community together, whether it’s through personal “coffee chats” among families or open communication with our school.
Parents can contribute as:
  • Community Parents, who welcome new families and organize school events and activities.
  • Partnership Advocates, who strengthen the communications between the school and parents and help to shape policies.
  • Classroom Parents, who help during class activities, trips, and clubs and share their own experiences by giving talks about their jobs or home countries.
  • Parent Voices, who provide feedback by talking to our school and completing parent surveys.
