Room Parents – A Few Teachers Still Need Them!
A few classes still need Room Parents for the 2022-2023 school year! Please see intlschool.org/room-parents for the “job” description, and intlschool.org/rp-signup to volunteer.
Room Parent Orientation was held this week, but we can get you up to speed! We are here to help you help your child’s teachers. 🙂
Grandparents at ISP
There are many ways for grandparents to be engaged in their students’ education here at the International School of Portland! Grandparents play a vital role in our community as loving supporters of our students and their education.
Grandparents are invited to participate as volunteers at ISP and we host a special Grandparent Tea in May. We have a special web page just for our grandparents (www.intlschool.org/ispgrandparents) as well as an email newsletter, The Globe, where we share exciting news about ISP.
If you would like your students’ grandparents to receive special ISP event invitations and receive The Globe, our email newsletter just for grandparents, fill out this form and we will make sure to add them to our mailing list.
