Get ready for a new school year: JOIN THE PTA BOARD NOW!

This is a message from Laurence Herpelinck, Coordinator of the PTA team

 Hello dear PTA members. 
Time flies and it will be the last year for my last child Nathan to attend ISGR from September 2020. If we want the PTA to continue, we need to have a new coordinator (Président officially) as I will not take that role again next school year, just continuing walking activities and after school STEAM Club. BUT I will be happy to teach someone or a group of people throughout the year about the missions it involves and how to contribute to creating a nice community spirit at ISGR while working together with school teachers and staff. Some of our present Board members will continue their missions and will be supporting and helping the new team throughout the year 20-21. This is a great opportunity so do not miss it, even if it is a voluntary part-time mission, it is a very rewarding one. Some of you already came to us before the Covid situation crushed all our projects and enthusiasm. So please come to us again. Think about it during summer. Contact us directly if you prefer. So we will be ready for mid-August to welcome the new parents. Have a great summer everyone! Laurence

ISGR PTA is supporting new after school activities program for students

It's often a challenge to register our children in activities after school, no? For years, the PTA has always tried to support parents and students by answering their questions about this, as there is no specific program offered by ISGR. Hopefully, the Sports Club was created by Peter a few years ago and is now running well. Still there was room for other type of activities. ISGR had already allowed private teachers to use school premises for music lessons for example but this would not fulfil all the needs of our community. Some parents have as well developed their own clubs but it was not always easy to find information about those. Now it's a new era that begins with a dedicated process for "Activity Leaders" to offer activities at school as well as there is a more transparent routine to register the children to those activities:  a special thank you to Iris who did an amazing job on this! From there, we hope the offer will grow and that ISGR will be able to

Welcome to the ISGR PTA Blog!

With this new initiative, we now offer our members a more knowledgeable and accessible information about our missions and goals. It is also the place where you can find what the PTA has to offer during the school year and how you can contribute by being an active member and joining the PTA Team. Go through all the pages: maybe you did not know how fun  it is  to belong to our groups or how rewarding it is to  contribute to the well being of the ISGR community. You are part of the action: the PTA  provides a  forum  for people interested in school and local life, and it supports  parents, teachers and staff who want to be actors of the progress for our children by exchanging new ideas and funding new projects. And of course, you can  always  count on PTA other members to facilitate your integration at ISGR and in Gothenburg, Sweden. Whether you are from Sweden or abroad, if you are a parent/guardian of a child at ISGR or working at ISGR, you are automatically a membe

Welcome to a new school year at ISGR!

We are ready! Yes 2020 is not like any other year but the PTA looks forward to continuing some of its missions this new school year. So what did we learn so far about the situation with Covid-19 and what to expect this year - unless it changes for better - regarding PTA activities? The rule is no gatherings of more than 50 people and school will continue to do as much online meetings as possible to reduce contact. It means that sadly we cannot hold any event like the Welcoming Breakfast, the Family Day or even the Winter  Bazaar.   We still want to do as much as we can to welcome new parents. There are 143 new students, meaning a lot of new families joined ISGR. There will be an orientation tour on August 21st and if more people are interested on Tuesday 25 August. Information will be advertised during the online welcoming session held by school no Monday 20 and also on Managebac. During this tour, PTA active members will share a lot of useful information with newcomers about living in
