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 Gothenburg and being an ISGR Parent.
What can we do to keep the PTA running and what can we focus on?
Funding Projects for school
Thanks to parents' enthusiasm, our last Winter Bazaar raised a lot of money and it is time to invest it in purposeful projects for our school. The PTA will promote this opportunity amongst staff, teachers and students.
After school Activities for the Children
Thanks to Iris who dedicated a lot of her time to this new project, ISGR has now a proper after school schedule and is able to offer a wider range of activities for children. PTA members will be sollicitated to help and share their skills with children in the new MAKERSPACE.
Activities for parents - socialising
Even if we are not meeting at school for our meetings, we still can see each other and organise activities in small groups. We will for sure let you know what to expect.
Volunteering
And of course, we need more volunteers to help us go through this phase where we have to rebuild our missions and adapt to particular circumstances. So you are welcome to contact us and share your ideas and time with us!
Welcome back and see you soon!
