Parent Teacher Association

Introduction
Living in a foreign country is a rewarding experience, but it can be difficult if you are always at a loss
for where to go to get the basic necessities like food and clothing or what to do when a family
member is sick and needs medical attention.
Be assured that we have all gone through this stage and come out of it, having grown as well as
enjoying our new lives. By sharing the resources we all accumulate during our stay here in the
Stuttgart area, we can help not only the current school community but also those who will come after
us.
The recommendations in this handbook have been received from past and present ISS parents. We
hope that it will continue to be updated with current information and corrections. If you have any
corrections or new ideas please send them to the PTA via the school office or email the PTA
Welcoming Committee Chair.
You may find a mixture of American and English spelling, reflecting the backgrounds of the various
contributors.
