Info

Student Returning After an Illness Please report any infectious conditions such as chicken pox, infectious diarrhoea, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, impetigo, meningitis, mononucleosis/glandular fever, or hepatitis, before the student returns to school. Students with these conditions should return with a doctor’s note stating they are no longer contagious, or stating which special precautions must be taken. Students with Head Lice should not attend school until they are effectively treated. They should return with a doctor’s note stating they are lice free. This procedure is necessary to ensure the health of the others in school. What to Do in Case of a School Accident Any student, who is accidentally injured while at school, coming to or from school or on an official school field trip, will be covered by the German statutory accident insurance system. It provides insurance against occupational and commuting accidents, and against occupational diseases. Besides employees, trainees or other groups of persons are also insured, including school children, students at vocational colleges and other institutes of higher education, also children in nursery schools and after-school care centres. School accidents are defined as accidents suffered by children or students in their educational establishments. They include accidents suffered by children or young people whilst attending schools, nursery schools, after-school care centres or vocational colleges; or whilst under supervision by such educational establishments or in association with them immediately prior to or following lessons. This category of accidents also includes those suffered by students during education and training at institutes of higher education. Please feel free to contact us in the health department if you have any questions or require any assistance regarding your child’s health and safety at school. Telephone number: 08133/917-163. Parent Teacher Organisation (PTO) At BIS we have a very active Parent and Teacher Organisation (PTO). The primary function of the PTO is to help families - newcomers and returning families alike - feel part of the school community. The PTO provides a forum for communication, an organisation for providing volunteer services and some financial support by fundraising for items not covered by the regular budget. The PTO coordinates a wide variety of social events, clubs and activities throughout the year. The BIS PTO Welcome Committee helps support new and existing families in their transition to life in the Munich community. This is mostly done through Support parents, Regional Support parents and Language Support parents. For further information about the PTO please contact the PTO Chair for the school year. All parents are encouraged to participate in the PTO organisation. The Members of the PTO Executive Board for the current school year are: Chair Vice Chair Treasurer Secretary IT / Communications Events Coordinators Welcome Coordinators Ms. Jo Giesen Ms. Ellen van Keymeulen Ms. Mirka Celikoglu Ms. Melissa van den Ancker Ms. Erin Foley Ms. Kay Hehl, Ms. Emma Raphael Ms. Kasia Sinclair, Ms. Pascale Queva 26
Parent Volunteers A child’s school life is greatly enriched by a family that is well-informed and active in school affairs. BIS welcomes parent involvement and encourages close ties between parents and the school. Early in the school year parents are asked if they are interested in volunteering at the school, as a Room Volunteer for a specific class, as a classroom helper, acting as a mentor for the Grade 5 Exhibition, organising special projects or reading in the Library. There are many ways in which parents can assist in the Primary School. We would love for you to be involved! Personal Belongings Students and parents are asked to PLEASE LABEL ALL personal belongings, which come to school. If items are misplaced this enables us to return them to the correct owner. Students are discouraged from bringing expensive personal items to school such as mobile phones, computers, iPods, Nintendo game consoles or money. Parents are asked to please discuss this issue thoroughly with their children and encourage them to be responsible with their personal belongings. BIS takes no responsibility for the damage to or loss of personal belongings. Photographs The school arranges for individual and class photographs for students with a professional photographer. Parents have the option to purchase these photographs. The official school photographs will be taken throughout the day on Tuesday, 25 th September 2012. Physical Education (P.E.) Requirements Students must wear the P.E. uniforms for Physical Education classes, for school sport activities and competitions. The shorts and the T-shirt are blue, the BIS school colours, and show the BIS logo. School track pants and fleece sweaters are also available for purchase. All students must have white-soled shoes for use in the Sports Hall. For safety reasons no jewellery should be worn during P.E. lessons and students whose hair is below shoulder length must have their hair tied up. Students who do not have appropriate clothing and/or footwear will not be able to participate in Physical Education classes. Students in the Early Years section of the school should come to school wearing their P.E. uniforms on their designated P.E. days. If the weather is cool a sweatshirt may be worn. Students in the Junior Years section of the school are required to change into their P.E. uniforms in the changing areas in the gym. Grade 4 students may also choose to shower at the end of their double P.E. lessons. Showering at the end of double P.E. lessons is required for Grade 5 students. If a student is not able to participate in their P.E. lesson for any reason a note is required. P.E. Sport Kit Soccamm is now offering the school P.E. Sport kits with BIS Logo for the coming school year. They will be in school providing some P.E.-kit size-fitting and direct ordering for the first week of school and will be situated in the upper Gym room. Their times at BIS will be on Monday August 20 th and Tuesday 21 st from 9:00 to 17:00. The fitting of P.E.-kits and direct ordering will take place in the Sports Hall. 27
