MySchool App: Please complete your 2022-23 School Year Forms!
It’s time to complete your forms for the new school year! Each student is assigned a back-to-school checklist, which includes a number of important forms.
Go to: https://intlschool.myschoolapp.com/
Upon logging in, you should see a yellow banner on the top of the screen asking you to please complete your student forms and checklist(s).
Please review and/or complete each of the forms. If you completed the forms last year, you will already see pre-filled information. The forms include:
- Medical permissions, insurance and doctors
- Emergency contacts
- Household contact verification
- Enrollment Policies Acknowledgement for returning families (new families already completed this upon enrollment)
- New families are also asked to upload immunization and vision & dental verification forms.
- Covid-19 Vaccination forms. While vaccinations are not required for students, they are highly encouraged. Over 85% of our elementary student population is vaccinated.
NOTE: Authorized pickups will be added in SchoolPass, our arrival and dismissal app. More information about that – and potential revisions to arrival and dismissal procedures – coming soon!
