whom inform the school of any potential security concerns and/or risks. In addition, the school
campus is monitored by security cameras.
All visitors are to report to the reception office for registration. A visitors’ badge will be issued
and the person to be visited is to pick up the visitor from the reception.
Visitors interested in enrolling their children are to be met at the reception desk. These visitors
will be accompanied by the admissions officer or another member of staff and do not require a
visitor’s badge. The admissions officer keeps a record of all potential parents. Parents are not
required to wear visitor badges.
ELIGIBILITY FOR CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Co-curricular activities are defined as those lying outside the regular curriculum for which a
student’s participation carries no academic credit. A students’ participation in events that
require the student to miss part or all of a school day will come under review if a student is not
making the desired effort in his/her academic subjects
BUS TRANSPORT
BIS employs local bus companies to provide a bus service for students, and all buses meet the
safety requirements under German law. Each school day drivers collect and drop off children
from all over the greater Munich area. Of primary concern is the safety of each child.
Students are expected to follow the bus rules and behave appropriately on the bus at all times.
All parents will receive a packet of information pertaining to the bus system at the beginning
of the school year. Bus students and parents are required to sign the Code of Conduct for the
School Bus form, which is part of this packet. Students who do not observe this Code of
Conduct will be given a warning by the Bus Coordinator, Mrs Alrun Bauer, or the division
Principal. The Business Director may become involved as well. If a problem persists, the
student may be denied access to the bus service.
Students may get permission to bring a school guest on the bus, provided permission has been
obtained from Mrs. Bauer and if there is room on the bus.
Please notify the Bus Coordinator if your child does not require the bus on a particular day or
if you are coming to school to collect your child in person.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Public transportation is available to Upper School students. The Munich Transit Authority
runs a bus (number 693) daily between the Lohhof S-Bahn Station and the Schlossklause in
Haimhausen, which is located in front of the school. Buses do not run on Saturdays, Sundays
and Public Holidays.
