Info

PARENT-TEACHER ORGANISATION (PTO) BIS has a very active Parent and Teacher Organisation. 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 living in the Munich community. This is mostly done through Support parents, Regional Support parents, and Language Support parents. All parents are encouraged to participate in the PTO organisation.
