Parent Community Association

The purpose of the Parent Community Association (PCA) is to nurture, support, and celebrate the AISC community and mission.

All parents and guardians of AISC students are automatically members of the PCA. There are no membership dues or fees. Each year the community elects the PCA Executive Committee through an online ballot at the beginning of May. The PCA is not a fundraising arm of the school.

 

The goals of the PCA are to:

  • Support the school’s mission, core values and vision for an AISC learner.
  • Promote community, connectedness, and core values among all AISC parents.
  • Develop educational and cross-cultural community building opportunities in order to get to know one another and break down language and cultural barriers.
  • Seek to increase engagement of a wide cross-section of the parent body.
  • Sponsor mission-relevant activities and events that are consistent with the PCA’s purpose and goals.

All parents and guardians of AISC students are automatically members of the PCA. There are no membership dues or fees.

Each year the community elects the PCA Executive Committee through an online ballot at the beginning of May.


Meet the PCA Executive Committee for 2023–2024


Parents can become involved in the PCA in various ways:

  • Attend the monthly PCA meetings to learn about what is happening and enjoy an activity together.
  • Contribute as an AISC PCA Volunteer in the Communications Office. (We are currently looking for parent photographers.)
  • Engage on a Planning Committee
  • Volunteer as a Country Coordinator, Grade Level Coordinator, Elementary School Classroom Coordinator

Country Coordinators help take the lead with planning and creating the Country Pavilions at International Day, organize other country-specific activities and welcome new families into our school. The coordinator also acts as a liaison between the school and families from their country.

Grade Level Coordinators facilitate communication between school, PCA and parents. Grade Level Coordinators will meet with their respective Principals.

ES Classroom Coordinators facilitate communication between PCA, teachers and parents, and they help organize classroom needs. One ES Classroom Coordinator per grade level will be the ES Grade Level Coordinator and will meet with the Elementary School Principal.

Other PCA Volunteer Activities

  • Athletics & Activities - The PCA supports our faculty and student activities by assisting with parent communication, celebrating our students, providing alternative vendors, and providing snacks. This is an area of growth and we welcome all support. We look forward to hearing from you on [email protected].
  • AISConnect - The PCA produces a magazine (or contributes articles to a school-wide publication) at the end of the school year which celebrates our community. It is wonderful to see how much fun we have at AISC over the year! Any photos and articles are gratefully received. If you would like to help write, edit and design this publication, please email us at [email protected].
